Q: Why Fedora workstation and not Fedora server? In my experience the different base package set makes a measurable difference.

Because the other distros were tested with their desktop state too. This was testing on a Core i9, not a Xeon or EPYC.

I believe that a comparison without an opinion is somehow incomplete, probably running a test with so many OSs it is hard by itself but I read just a synthetic report.

In base a this comparison I can say that overall the best distro is Debian because, despite it doesn't receive any tuning like the others distros do, it won in some tests and it had a very good average; and it has a lot of room for tuning and making it the faster...

(are you sure it's 4.1?)
