CachyOS, Clear Linux & Debian 13 Deliver The Best Performance On Framework Laptop 13 With AMD Strix Point
Meanwhile for the best graphics performance out-of-the-box with the integrated Radeon 890M (RDNA 3.5) graphics, Fedora Workstation 42 was performing particularly well and continued to be joined by Clear Linux and CachyOS for great performance. There was very similar SoC power consumption during these graphics benchmarks and in turn Fedora Workstation 42 delivered the best performance-per-Watt.
With the Unvanquished FPS game the difference between Linux distributions was slimmer but Fedora Workstation 42 continued to perform particularly well and Debian Testing also picked up some wins.
For the most part the AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics results between these modern mid-2025 Linux distributions was rather similar. There were some outliers with openSUSE Tumbleweed performing particularly bad in some of the GPU tests.
