The fact that all the Linux distros are free and don't require you to upgrade your PC or sign up to use them is the big win.

Now give us a AmogOS benchmark comparison

[Sintoolkicks]

Imagine how much faster Windows would be without all that spyware

Would have liked to see a comparison of DirectX on Windows and Vulkan on Linux (or even better Vulkan on both) - OpenGL just sucks in general and it doesn't really matter to me which platform does slightly worse in it. Vulkan and DirectX however are both great APIs and would be a better performance comparison. Other than that, great overview and testing :)

1:44 i love your hand movement when showing us the USB!

[cristian-navarro-]

Excelent video Bro! and congratulations on your baby!!

[henrikandersen]

What a great comparison! Thank you very much!

0:48 lol this is the clip of my Dell R710 server I recorded and published on pexels. Glad you liked and used it 😅

Neat to see, though using Flatpak basically nullifies testing advantages and disadvantages of each distro's core libs and platform files. Also, even though I don't use it, it's weird not seeing Clear or Solus here, it's the posterchild of the linux drag race.

[oreos]

Thanks for making these kinds of videos for us.

Fedora is fast mostly because how vanilla the packages and the kernel, and how well mutter, wayland and flatpak is integrated into it.

[uMalice]

Thanks for the comparisons with my favorite distros!

[Outfrost]

I would love to see a deep dive into what plays into these performance differences. For example if you profiled some of these applications to see which calls take longer, what versions of libraries they call into, how much time syscalls contribute, etc.

[venompire]

One note - when you analyze how fast something is happening it would be helpful to see what is load on the system (some sort of process monitor)

[munchiess]

it was a very clean and understandable explanation, good job

[jgsource]

You will really see the difference in preformance when you do this bench mark on a low -mid end system.

As a dual-booting Mint user who mainly uses his PC for web-browsing (Mint) and gaming (Win 10): These results look good. Completely by chance picked the right Distro for the job :D
Also: It is pretty noob-friendly. So that's definitely also a plus.

[henrymach]

I'm actually impressed by Mint's performance.
Question: Did you disable the spectre/meltdown mitigations on your Linux boxes?

[TheDesvendador]

Hi, Techy, could you do a video on distros recommended to use with NVIDIA cards?
I'm having a hard time with a rtx 2060 laptop on Fedora 34 with Wayland, whenever I plugin an HDMI cable the whole system freezes, the only way out is the power button :/
