PorteuX 2.7 delivers major performance optimizations, updated desktop environments, and a bold claim that it can outperform CachyOS, one of Linux’s best-known speed-focused distributions.

PorteuX 2.7 has been released with Linux kernel 7.1.1, GNOME 50.2, KDE Plasma 6.7.0, a switch to the new NTFS-Plus driver, and a number of performance-focused optimizations. The developer is also claiming the distro now outperforms CachyOS in Geekbench 6. Do you think benchmark results like these are meaningful when comparing Linux distributions

    you can benchmark like CachyOS, PikaOS, and like Fedora or something and the results are pretty much going to be the same. you’ll see an ever so slight FPS increase on PikaOS but it’s so marginal you’d be hard pressed to notice. If a 4fps increase is important to you then sure, have at it. but for most it doesn’t really matter.

    That being said PorteuX does sort of interest me as it’s based on Slackware and is something I want to try out.
