Normally phoronix does the work but I am irritated that he just used Ubuntu to test the machine instead of verifying it with a different distro.

- michaellarabel 10mo agoBecause Ubuntu is where I typically test against given its marketshare and enterprise use/support. And what I typically test against for my Windows vs. (Ubuntu) Linux comparisons. If going for CachyOS or Arch Linux because it's "faster" would conceal the fact that Ubuntu Linux is typically faster than Windows 11 but on this system at least is not.
- BoredPositron 10mo agoYes but the headline should reflect that. Generally saying Linux performs worse is a bit of a exaggeration if you only tested one distro. Next time throw in fedora, I wouldn't care about caschy or arch benchmarks because of the reasons you stated but it would give your headline more merit. Especially if the headline is as generalized as it stays at the moment. To be honest it's what I would expect if you see an outlier like we see now.
