I’ve heard praise about the kernel performance with CachyOS, and was looking to replicate it a bit on NixOS when I learned about Chaotic’s Nyx. After simply swapping to their Link-Time Optimization kernel varent, I’m noticing a ~10% single and ~8% multi core geekbench scores improvement after repeated testing on my 10yo laptop: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/14141971?baseline=14145053 Over 5 consecutive trials in performance mode, results are relatively consistent: I’m als...
