👁 Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: BMW27, Compute: CPU-Only. Cachy OS was the fastest.
CachyOS, Arch Linux, Debian, and openSUSE Tumbleweed all performed better than the rest when it came to the Blender 3D modeling software on Framework 12.
Clear Linux provided the fastest Firefox web browser experience on the tested Linux distributions for the Framework 12 laptop.
