So Ubuntu was the worst, then Windows did about 10 percent better (WTF??) and cachyos did another 6 percent better then Windows.
The fact that Windows beat Ubuntu on a low powered laptop? Very concerning for Canonical...
I think Wildcat Lake is newer than Ubuntu 26.04's kernel, so it kinda makes sense, the 26.10 beta is improved, and probably the next kernel will have more performance

Ok well that's fair. So not so very bleeding edge then.
Yeah Ubuntu is internationally a bit behind on updates, which is good for people who want things to "just work"
Kernel 7.3 seems like it will have even more improvements https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history
IDK how many of those improvements CachyOS has already, they're based on 7.2 but pretty sure they merge in stuff early, so they probably have most of it
Given that Ubuntu is trading stability for cutting edge - not very surprising
Is Cachyos not even more cutting edge?
it is
Cool cool, so Ubuntu is now truly at the bottom.
yep. Couldn't name a distro more shitty.
Ooooh, this sounds like the start of a great useless flame war!
I'll start: I truly despise Red hat linux. The most pretentious hacky buggy stuff I ever had the displeasure of having to work with.
