Silicon Forest Developer/hacker. I write about Generative AI, DevOps, and Linux mostly.
Once held the world record for being the youngest person alive.
Mostly time constraints. I'm really busy right now and it's the best I could commit to.
However next month, I plan on doing exactly that on Twitch. I'm going to take a single VM and install various different distros on it, and benchmark them just to see what differences there are.
I did a little random testing a while back, but nothing too formal. For instance, on the same machine the geekbench results are pretty different:
Clear Single Core: 2202 Multi-Core 3098
Arch Single Core 1936 Multi-Core 2472
I know they've done a lot of benchmarking and optimizations within the distro, enough to see a visible difference. I don't know that you would feel that on the desktop very much, but if I were setting up workloads that took some real power, Clear VMs would be my first choice.
Thanks for the reply. That's a significant difference, I will have to check if that translates to a real world speedup in common programs or if only affects some concrete tasks.
btw nice post.
