From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I still don't think there will be a difference. I tried distros with various schedulers and didn't notice a major positive difference except for the DE smoothness that was unbeatable on CachyOS.

So..., you don't think it will make a difference. However, you do affirm that whatever CachyOS does is noticably better than the rest.

Perhaps more importantly, have you actually measured 1% lows or 0.1% lows on games. And did you compare how different distros fared in this regard?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (4 children)

I didn't measure 1% lows but I noticed that regular distros (specifically Fedora and Arch based ones) performed noticeably better in terms of overall FPS.

Thank you for mentioning that! Did the slower distros you tested come with older kernels?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fedora did have an older kernel but other distros were Arch based so always new kernels. Also I have to mention that CachyOS focuses on x86_64-v3 that my machine doesn't support so results can be very different on newer hardware.
