| 3 | ## CachyOS |
|||||||
| 4 | ||||||||
|
5 | Generally my distro of choice for both servers and desktops is [CachyOS](https://cachyos.org/). The main reason is good defaults and it runs fast. |

| 7 | ### Servers |
|||||||
| 8 | ||||||||
| 9 | A rolling distro for a server is not too much of an issue for me as I do development on servers and I want up to date packages. I take snapshots, update all packages, and reboot daily ([Ansible config](https://github.com/valankar/ansible/blob/master/cachyos.yaml)). |

| 11 | #### Efficient resource usage |
|||||||
| 12 | ||||||||
|
13 | For a VPS without much RAM and disk, the default zram (compressed swap) and btrfs compression is a great setup. Docker containers mostly doing nothing can sit in compressed swap, and large Docker images take up less of the filesystem. |

| 15 | ### Desktops |
|||||||
| 16 | ||||||||
|
17 | CachyOS has the best performance of any distro I've used, and it just works on all desktops I've tried. The default KDE setup is good and just works. |
