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 stand corrected then.

But I still don't care. It's not like any test result will make me go back to Microslop.

Agreed. Also these kind of tests are always weird, because its mostly default settings. While this makes sense in Windows, it only makes kind of sense in a Linux distribution, because as you said its actually more about stuff like the desktop environment. But at least, because it is default configuration, we know what it means and contains. I also don't care about the results for Windows, just compare the Linux vs Linux stuff, that's more interesting to me.
