But it was promised that each electron from my body will be removed, until I’m smoke only. I assume this will take an eternity, but I’m here for science.

Just use Electron.

On a slightly different example, the suckless project has a huge emphasizes on lightweight code, which they call “suckless”. I don’t think in this case faster is the goal, but having less code and be simple as possible (not even configuration files allowed, you just recompile program) and almost no documentation in the code either. But the idea is the same, of having “lightweight” code.

• The fastest code is the code you don’t run.

Not really. The code can be slow, even if I do not run it. Also, sometimes additional code can do optimization (like caching), which is more code = faster. Or additional libraries, complexity and code paths can in example add multicore execution, which could speed up. So, I do not buy the less code is faster logic.

Well, no need to websearch. Just go to the website and look for any official links, such as the wiki. As for the optimized packages, I found this on their website:

CachyOS does compile packages with the x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4 and Zen4 instruction set and LTO to provide a higher performance. Core packages also get PGO or BOLT optimization.

So the listed CPUs in the requirements list should take advantage of this I guess. And my assumption is, that these CPUs are required to run the packages at all. Maybe that’s where the “newer machines” is meant with.

Who says CachyOS is mostly for newer machines?? I don’t know why anyone would make such a claim. At least on their website, no such claim can be found. The official system requirements are listed at https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/installation_prepare/ , you can switch between minimum and recommended set.

I was on Manjaro before too and can recommend the switch to EndeavourOS too.

Me too. What happened there? I thought it might be because some of my browser extensions block few scripts and other elements. Enabling some of the stuff didn’t make reveal the article, so I lost interest. Or is it paid?

How is it bloated if you decide what to put on? Gentoo isn’t a traditional distribution, its what you make it to. Still you have to answer for yourself why you even want to switch to Gentoo. And if all the extra work for compilation is worth it. Do you even want to compile everything and customize the compilation process? If not, maybe Gentoo is not for you. That’s the thing. Only you can answer that.

Why do you want switch to Gentoo in the first place? I think its a good idea if you want to customize and build lot of applications yourself. Besides heavy hitters like browsers or the Kernel. So only you can answer if this is a good idea for you.

Linux is not a lifestyle

I have to disagree about this point.

I’d love to some of the Bazzite users migrate to Bluefin or Aurora.

Why?

I was there too doing lot of generalized functions that do everything. And I always hated the code. I am just hobby commandline guy, but even that is horrifying code. Doing this in complex code bases with real world impact is just bad.

Trying to abstract everything away in multiple layers of classes and function calls, just to avoid to write a 2 lines of code twice is the biggest evil in programming. Well probably not the biggest, but a huge problem in my opinion. Adding unnecessary complexity due to being clever is evil.

BTW there is also the package (Bash script) downgrade to do this job. It is in official EndevourOS repositories, but also in the AUR. And if you want do it manually, head over to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Downgrading_packages .

Instead installing older version that is either unsecure, or can cause dependency problems, I rather install Flatpak: https://flathub.org/en/apps/one.ablaze.floorp
