Intel Core i9 10980XE: FreeBSD 12.1 vs. GhostBSD 12.02 vs. DragonFlyBSD vs. Ubuntu Linux Benchmarks

GhostBSD was based on TrueOS in the past. However, recently, it is based on FreeBSD 12.1-Stable (with OpenRC and os-generic packages).
It is likely that FreeBSD had more services running by default, hence the difference in responsiveness. Nice set of benchmarks to see posted. Ghostbsd.org. Come visit us on Tlegram group t.me/ghostbsd

Thank you for great benchmark. Could you please add FreeBSD+UFS to the benchmark matrix? It would be helpful to compare OSs on non-COW filesystems.

Ghost is still claiming they are basing off of TrueOS.

We did not update the website, but we did go our own direction with OpenRC and base system packages and kernel packages build from ports. We now follow FreeBSD latest STABLE.

When it comes to performance GhostBSD is tweak for desktop and laptop performance and not for server performance like FreeBSD. Also we are not vanilla FreeBSD.

Ubuntu sucks since they changed default kernel settings to non optimal. Hopefully, more users will switch to something better like Fedora or Debian.

How so? Care to elaborate?

ericbsd Thanks Eric for wonderful release best of luck for future ones

No comments yet on the other remarkable feature of these tests: ZFS performance seems to almost equal the EXT4 performance.
From memory, BTRFS has a massive performance hit.
I'm assuming that turning on the unique features of both ZFS & BTRFS, the performance differences compared to EXT4 will become more obvious.
The other ghost in these tests are the comparisons to both Microsoft NTFS, and the open source: NTFS-3G. If the unique features of both these NTFS versions are turned on, then we should get different bench results.
Thank you for mentioning that Ubuntu was running Ubuntu's Linux kernel 5.4.
The latest Ubuntu kernel is 5.5.13 right now. For optimal performance, any user might choose the LOW LATENCY versions of these official Ubuntu kernels.
