The term 'workload' is itself slightly loaded as it implies something constant like a server maintaining performance over a given period. I did mention my use-case is developing software, so I'm not exactly pushing this to its limits, however programs seem to work a lot faster which I know sounds anecdotal. I found a benchmark which did influence the switch back to Win10.

>if simply counting the number of first-place finishes, Windows 10 performed the best with coming in front 50% of the time to Clear Linux at 36% and Ubuntu 19.10 at 13%.
- papermachete 7y agoTo me, my optimised compilation of liquorix on f2fs beats windows on my laptop outright. I lose bandwidth but gain lower latency. Even moving around windows explorer and searching by name is embarrassingly sluggish on my windows 10 install. Can't afford ms telemetry service and windows "defender" taking up half my resources whenever they please, either.
- hd4 7y agoIt's trivial to remove telemetry these days.
- hd4 7y agoI seem to be getting a lot of downvotes for that comment for some reason, not sure why but there are several programs that can disable telemetry, this is probably the best-known one. https://wpd.app/ https://wpd.app/
- edgyquant 7y agoRemoving telemetry completely isn't supported by MS
- papermachete 7y agoI also recommend W10 Privacy and Blackbird. Definitely turn off windows defender and all spectre/meltdown mitigations (inSpectre). They don't do anything either way.
- LargoLasskhyfv 7y agoYes! That's the spirit!
- bachmeier 7y agoWhat a dishonest post. Even assuming those tests are relevant, you've selectively quoted from the article. > When taking the geometric mean of all 46 benchmarks carried out, Intel's own Clear Linux did come out about 4% faster than Ubuntu 19.10 and 8.5% faster than Windows 10.
- pdimitar 7y agoPeople using the tech every day care about the perceived performance though, not the geometric mean. You are factually correct but your conclusion doesn't improve the parent poster's everyday experience.
