Now I'm curious how much OS matters. Has anyone done a bunch of benchmarks to see if the Pi is faster/slower on Ubuntu/RPiOS/Alpine/ArchARM/FreeBSD?
- redundantly 2y agoI don't know if it still holds true, but historically speaking, Raspberry Pi OS has been the best option for out of the box performance.
- geerlingguy 2y agoUsually this holds true in terms of how quickly performance optimizations and bug fixes trickle down to other distributions. Like the NUMA patch mentioned in the video-it is already included in Pi OS (and has been for a while, but it takes time for it to make its way into other distros.
- yndoendo 2y agoDon't know about present. Back when I worked with a version 2, Raspbian couldn't handle a 2560×1080 UltraWide without low frame rate with stuttering but ArchARM with Sway had no issues.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoI would be suspicious of that being the display server as much as the OS, though... although, granted, I suppose it depends on what the fair basis is for comparison. A person could argue that "performance of the default graphical stack" is at least as important as "performance of a CPU-bound workload if you tune everything else".
