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!”

I love CachyOS, it's a great and solid distro and by far the best Arch fork out there. I've never had issues with it

As long you keep it updated. I left my machine powered off for 8 months and came back to being impossible to update it because the repo was missing library updates from months prior... I could never figure it out, and just nuked the install with bazzitte.

Had the same experience with EndeavourOS. Also switched to bazzite and haven't looked back. There was a slight learning curve, but once you figure it out, you can do pretty much anything you want to/on it.
