With the sunsetting of Clear Linux, the Arch Linux based CachyOS is a leader for out-of-the-box high performance Linux.
Even for code compilation tests, CachyOS was outperforming openSUSE Tumbleweed and Ubuntu 26.04.
There was a surprising upset in Apache CouchDB performing the fastest on Ubuntu 26.04, potentially due to its madvise THP setting.
For the vast majority of the benchmarsk, CachyOS was delivering the best performance on this Intel Core Ultra Series 3 laptop.
