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?

    I’ve seen this time and time again, performance between gaming distros like Bazzite, Nobara, CachyOS, etc. is marginal.

      And cachy is consistently faster and has better .01 and 1 percent lows.

      Linuxes real issue is almost always unstable frame rates and performance. Cachy does manage to bring the bottom up.
