👁 PyBench benchmark with settings of Total For Average Test Times. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: go. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: chaos. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: float. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: nbody. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: raytrace. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: xml_etree. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: crypto_pyaes. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: python_startup. Pops OS 22.04 was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: regex_compile. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: asyncio_websockets. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: pickle_pure_python. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

The upgrade from Python 3.10 to 3.12 by default for Pop!_OS made for much better Python scripting performance. Those running lots of Python software or doing a lot of Python development will enjoy better performance with Pop!_OS 24.04 if you typically rely on the OS defaults.

👁 BRL-CAD benchmark with settings of VGR Performance Metric. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

Overall Pop!_OS 24.04 was both looking well with its COSMIC desktop and performing well with these preliminary benchmarks using the AMD Threadripper-powered System76 Thelio Major workstation.

👁 Geometric Mean Of All Test Results benchmark with settings of Result Composite, Pop OS 24.04 Beta Benchmarks. Pop OS 24.04-Beta was the fastest.

With the few dozen benchmarks carried out thus far, there was around a 9% geo mean improvement with this upgrade. That's pretty good considering the same Linux kernel and Mesa version on both of these Pop!_OS releases.
