Often times when testing different Linux distributions or comparing Windows vs. Linux it's on leading flagship desktop or server hardware, but today we are looking at the Ubuntu vs. CachyOS vs. Windows performance at the opposite end of the spectrum. With the new CHUWI UniBook $449 laptop powered by Intel Core 3 Wildcat Lake and with 8GB of system memory, here is a look at how those three operating systems compare across a variety of workloads.

I love the fact that these get benchmarked, but I wish that Phoronix made the difference between "lower is better" scores and "higher is better" scores much more apparent.

Maybe put a gradient on the bars so we can see which one is better at a glance.

Or change the "lower is better" layout so the bars are right aligned instead of left aligned.

Read your comment before checking out the graphs, thinking “how bad could it be?”. Turns out, very!

I wouldn’t have even noticed the Linux wins had I not remembered to look for the tiny indicator

My Plex server is running Fedora on a Sandy Bridge Intel chip. Would you like some benchmarks from that? Warning: it may catch fire… Lol.
