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?

    As for whether PorteuX is truly faster than CachyOS? Linux users will undoubtedly spend the next few weeks testing that claim for themselves.

    No, they won’t.
