Any expectations that Debian GNU/Linux would be faster on this device than Apple’s own optimized OS should be tempered with a dose of reality; that said, there must be a headless arm64/M1-optimized Darwin variant in-house that it would be curious to benchmark against.
- tenebrisalietum 5y agoYou're right, but sometimes speed is not the top priority. I have a 1Ghz single core ARM-based Guruplug with 512MB of RAM - slow, but I would run certain tasks on it because I can control and verify the code path from the bootloader all the way to userspace.
- zamadatix 5y agoNot that software performance on M1 devices is much of a concern (poorly optimized apps tend to run amazingly well thanks to brute force speed) but if Chrome can benchmark better than Safari on it why couldn't other software?
