Phoronix: Server/Workstation Tests: Antergos vs. Clear Linux vs. Fedora vs. Scientific Linux vs. Ubuntu vs. openSUSE

Here is a fresh round of some out-of-the-box Linux distribution tests when focusing on different server/workstation workloads. Featured in this comparison is Antergos 17.2-Rolling, Clear Linux 13200, Fedora 25, Scientific Linux 7.3, Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, Ubuntu 16.10, and openSUSE Tumbleweed 20170205.

Typo:

The other Phoronxi Test Suite self tests were close.

Fixed, thanks. Must have noticed it when I was re-reading it about the same time as you reading it :/

Are you using Fedora Workstation or Fedora Server for this? There are several key differences in the default configuration (ext4 vs. xfs, for example), and we're looking at possibly using different io elevator options in the future.

The Clear Linux optimizations make me wonder how this would compare to Gentoo with -march=native, but apparently Gentoo has an aura of terror in internet!

PS: I think it's lies, and everyone has celerons 440! Withut renice. (Because that chip costs ~1 euro)

This was with Fedora 25 Workstation.

How come Fedora and openSUSE didn't run PTS self test?

There's no aura of terror or anything like that around Gentoo. These are all distros that can be installed in 10 minutes in an easily automated manner. They also highlighted workstation use, and it's implied for a wide scale roll out. There's nothing wrong with Gentoo, but it's for a very different scenario. It's great if not the best for that scenario, but that isn't this scenario.
