Pop!_OS 20.04 vs. Ubuntu 20.04 Linux Performance

[CochainComplex]

So it makes even less sense. What caused the performance difference? I guess everything below 5% is the variance of the measurement. What about the IO?

The STD is usually very low look at his overview.

Linux is Linux is Linux. There's no faster or slower or done for gaming. If there's little changes they are well known tweaks any distribution can do and on all of them you can strip it down to a minimalist approach like arch.

Nice benchmark showing just that, next maybe Ubuntu Vs Ubuntu wsl2 Vs windows? Io should be considerably slower because butof the virtualization layer I wonder how much.

Michael according to https://openbenchmarking.org/result/...gm=y&obr_swl=y

somehow there is a typo I guess

PopOs 363.010 vs Ubuntu 357.149

Edit. the very last entry in the table not the plot

Michael Thx for the Benchmark!

Disk Details
Pop OS 20.04: NONE / errors=remount-ro,noatime,rw
Ubuntu 20.04: NONE / errors=remount-ro,relatime,rw

If only lazytime were somehow added into the mix. At least I know the results from two out of three now.

I don't know why Michael didn't bother to mention it, since his own software is telling him (and everyone else for that matter, too) where the difference in I/O is actually coming from; here, let me spill or even spit it out for you guys:



Notice something? If not, let's make it even more clear:



The first time any new file is created, Ubuntu will still write the access-time (atime), whereas Pop!-OS (whoever came up with that name?) simply will not bother itself with these kind of operations!

And so the mystery was solved...

P.S.:
One day, I might not be here anymore, and who on earth will then spoon-feed you, my fellow Linux comrades, I wonder?

Thank you for sharing that knowledge.
The problem with this site is the policy of quantity over quality.
Most of the time the testing methodology doesn't make sense (Comparing different OS's and using different version of GCC and compilation flags) and each time there is no analysis of why we have those results.

At first glance someone would think there is something really improved with Pop!-OS while in fast it is a simple configuration.

Man I would love a KDE based native version of Pop_OS!... and yes KPop_OS! would be the best name for it!

Hit you with that Q- Q- Qt

How did Ubuntu 20.04 land ahead of PopOS 20.04 in the geometric mean then?

Is it possible to install the PopOS auto-tiling in Ubuntu?

A more sensible comparison might be to include two RPM-based operating systems that favor gaming, and are also widely used & supported. Fedora 32 has a gaming version, and is the official test branch for the Red Hat system of operating systems, similar to Ubuntu in relation to Debian.
The other updated & popular gaming system is PCLinuxOS, based from Mandriva's version of RPM. This very family centered version of Linux has the best range & organization of free ware & educational games in any operating system. It also has designed in the immediate access to the very latest official Linux kernel, better than any other Linux operating system.
PCLinuxOS has seven different Desktop Environments, but none are GNOME.
