AMD Ryzen 7 Performance On Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Six Linux Distributions

Anybody knows what's going on with Ubuntu? Or is it just time to change it to Fedora?

Ubuntu has some debugging trash enabled. Furthermore, it has non typical/non optimal Linux desktop kernel configuration.

or switch to whatever fucking distro you want because there's a reason why everybody doesn't use one in particular

I wonder what happened on the PostgreSQL read+write benchmark that made Windows so much faster there when it was much slower in the read-only benchmark. Almost feels like Windows cheats with fsync on writes.

It's a lot more stable than Buguntu. You'd know that if you've ever used it instead of talking shit on Moronix.

And yet we are many who run Ubuntu on production servers without any problems at all.

Michael -

OpenSUSE's Richard Brown was complaining I test openSUSE with the default XFS+Btrfs file-system configuration that it's somehow unfair for my out-of-the-box benchmarking.....

Because anyone who installs openSUSE with performance in mind uses EXT4, just like the other distros. Only takes a mouse click at installation.

It's not that your tests are unfair. It's just that they never give us a proper comparison of how our actual boxes will compete with the other distros.

Which is no problem, we can just run PTS ourselves if we like. But I agree that you shouldn't waste your time on a useless comparison. I'm only interested in real world, not default.

Thank you for interesting article Michael,.

IS it me, or... In all tests that actually mattered(real life scenarios tests, not some hypothetical synthetic tests) Linux beat win in no time?

I initially read this as "it's more stable than Bridgman" and thought "yeah, true...".

well, if you use the spin that is just for bugs what do you expect :P

[angrypie]

if you want a unstable distro

It's a lot more stable than Buguntu. You'd know that if you've ever used it instead of talking shit on Moronix.

Holy crap. So why would you pay for Windows anymore? macOS is even worse, performance-wise.

Can you include Solus when benchmarking, please. Would like to see how it does vs others.

I do when time allows.
