Here is some news that both excited me and gave me pause. In its annual 2025 retrospective, published today, Arch-based CachyOS, widely popular among Linux gamers and heavily focused on performance optimization, reveals plans I did not expect: an expansion into the server space.

“In addition to our ongoing PGO and AutoFDO optimizations, we are developing a specialized ‘Server’ Edition for NAS, workstations, and server environments. We intend to provide a verified image that hosting providers can easily deploy for their customers. This edition will ship with a hardened configuration, pre-tuned settings, and performance-optimized packages for web servers, databases and more!”

Have you tried Gentoo? I’ve heard you can compile things for your hardware, I’d love to try it, but I have very little free resources lately. So, some day. I’m curios whether the impact is worth it, the whole compiling chore.

I ran Gentoo from 2005 to 2009 or so. Took too much time compiling the software, nor doing that again. Apart from that it had some pretty neat ideas.
