CachyOS Server

Post by Zema Bus »

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!

As much as I like CachyOS, I don't know if I'd want to use an Arch based distro as a server.

Kind of pointless to have a "server distribution" for that sort of distro (just install the packages you want for your server?)

No, I wouldn't use Arch on a server (and cachyos pretty much follows or exceeds Arch). I'd have to be an asshole to use this for anything that anyone, anywhere is relying on. An Arch based distribution certainly would be viable for a server, but it would need to be more curated than either of those.

It depends on how serious the server is I guess, but you generally don't want unpredictability of new versions of software and libraries changing out from under foot.
