Arch Linux Running Well On LoongArch - Loongson 3B6000 Benchmarks

Written by Michael Larabel in Operating Systems on 12 February 2026 at 11:05 AM EST. Page 4 of 4. 14 Comments.

Overall, Arch Linux on LoongArch was a pleasant experience with this 12-core Loongson 3B6000 testing.

The performance was quite similar between Arch Linux and Debian on this LoongArch box besides cases like the newer Python 3.14 being found on Arch Linux. It was a nice experience and great how effortless it was switching between Linux distributions on LoongArch with UEFI support.
