It is not just advice.
Default configs of most distros are set up for server-style work, even on workstation distros. So they’ll have CPU and IO schedulers optimized for throughput instead of latency, meaning a laggy desktop under load. The whole virtual memory system still runs things like it is on spinning rust (multiple page files in cache, low swappiness, etc).
The only distro without this problem is Asahi. It’s bespoke for MacBooks, so it’s been optimized all the way down to the internal speakers(!).
