These benchmarks are quite general and good measurement of how high performant apps behave when running on different kernels. This advantage probably translates to other workloads as well.
At the least, these results show that software vendors could improve the performance of their applications by porting to linux.
- BuckRogers 5y agoYou need to actually prove that for each piece of software being ported, otherwise it's an assumption for potentially a million dollar investment for what would be a very poor business decision. It always depends on who is paying, you? If it were an outright win, we'd all be on desktop Linux ages ago. It's a trade off, and you lose a lot. Including customers, by wasting money on a desktop Linux port when you can deliver value where 95% of your customers are. The other 5% is macOS. Your competition is most likely focused on Windows. Other than server usage that is, Linux is a fine server. For my money, if I did find a performance loss on Windows, I'd start by working on either improving my implementation, or if it is a kernel issue to collaborate with Microsoft to equalize that. Rather than kick off years of support, and potentially millions of dollars on what is comparatively a barren wasteland.
