7-Way Linux Distribution Comparison On The Intel Core i7 8700K
While reading Intel's website on Clear Linux did I come across a page where Intel list all benchmarks of their distro. Well, it's literally a list consisting only of Phoronix articles and webpages really. *lol*
I concur with sdack. It many tests if you take out Clear Linux -- which is simply a testbed and not typical user ready-- t.
geez thanks ;-)
Clear Linux most certainly is not just a test bed. Sure it also does not target end user desktop currently, but server setups with a professional sysadmin, but that does not make it a test bed.
What's Windows ? Seriously....Microsoft is utterly and completely irrelevent for me and has been for a decade. It only survives on the desktop because of user ignorance and inertia. CEO Natella knows this which is why he is shifting EVERYTHING to Azure and subscription based computing. He has closed down all hardware and mobile divisions and the associative services with the exception of Xbox which, mark my words, will be sold off as well before the end of the decade. Linux and Unix rule supercomputing. Linux and Unix rule mainframes. Linux and Unix rule the cloud. Linux and Unix rule mobile ( Android and iOS ) Linux and Unix rule wearables. The ONLY place Microsoft still rules is the desktop and that market has been stagnating and even dropping for years. They're even losing the classroom as it's now Chromebooks, Apple iOS and even BYOP...(Bring Your Own Phone) to school.
I concur with sdack. It many tests if you take out Clear Linux -- which is simply a testbed and not typical user ready-- then Ubuntu is in the lead or a close second. In those tests where Ubuntu is not either first or second it is in a virtual tie with the other distros which simply means that ALL Linux distros are reaching a point where when they all have pretty much the same versions of Mesa, Linux kernel, DE ( like Gnome ), etc...then the differences in performance, while visible on paper, would be virtually unrecognizable in the real world. I actually think this is a GOOD thing as to me it shows a maturity in the overall Linux ecosystem. Open Source is analogous to the story of "Stone Soup" whereby people contribute to a seemingly inedible base of a stone in water by adding their own mix of vegetables and ingredients which finally turns the inedible base into something delicious. I think what we could be seeing in these tests is evidence that no matter what distro you use the underlying architecture is becoming that delicious soup for all that began with a single stone in a pot of water.

Anyone know what happened to OpenSUSE in the Linux compilation test??? Would have been rather interesting given its original (inspired? ) FS defaults and strong showing for PHP compilation.
