    Phoronix: CachyOS Had A Really Great Year Advancing This Performance-Optimized Arch Linux Platform

    The CachyOS Linux distribution has really been on fire this year delivering impressive new features and performance optimizations for this Arch Linux derived OS...

    Which distro is better for schoolkids on vacation, CachyOS or Kali? 😏

      The article says: "From the performance side, the CachyOS optimizations are beginning to pay off."

      I do not agree with this statement. Yes, cachyos is leading in this benchmark. But Arch Linux is second and cachyos is in average just 1 % faster than Arch Linux (2284 vs. 2253 points). That tells me that all the performance tweaks in cachyos are NOT paying off.

        I am currently using EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma.
        I have tried CachyOS with KDE Plasma a few times.
        However, I was always unable to start CachyOS after I deleted the Octopi package manager and replaced it with Pamac.
        After replacing Octopi with Pamac, my password was no longer recognized when restarting and logging in. This has happened with the last three releases of CachyOS.
        I would like to test this new version again, is there a way to remove Octopi without the login error occurring?

        Thanks and happy holidays.

          It would be nice to get rid of the limitations of the archlinux base, at least to be able to partially static link some packages like clang/lld.

            Thats the fault from PTS because it ignores the flags in /etc/makepkg. So it doesn’t show the true performance improvements from CachyOS.

              I agree with this statement. I recently experimented with Cachyos and while certainly not a bad distro ......
              There was absolutely no reason to leave Arch. Perhaps at some point in future (which I doubt) there may be reason to switch. But certainly not today.
              Arch + Zen kernel is all I could ask for.

                I usually just installed pamac and removed the default package manager from favorites and task bar, adding pamac to those places. No issues doing it that way

                  I do not understand your point. The test says: "All the Linux distributions were cleanly installed and tested in their default / out-of-the-box state except for the noted extra runs on Ubuntu for reference purposes."

                  So cachyos binaries where tested as provided by the distro. This has nothing to do with /etc/makepkg.conf which is only used if you compile packages by yourself.

                    For me, the mistake of logging in, after I removed/deleted Octopi via Pamac.
                    Your description shows that you have not completely deleted Octopi, right?
                    I didn't want to have two graphic parcel managers on my system.
                    I am surprised that Octopi is so anchored in the system that the extended deletion of Octopi via Pamac means that you can no longer log in when you start under KDE.
