From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Windows 11 vs Ubuntu vs Fedora 39 vs Arch Linux - Speed Test! (youtu.be)

Even though different Linux distros are often fairly close in terms of real-life performance and all of them have a clear advantage over Windows in many use cases, we can't reject the fact that Arch Linux has undoubtedly won the competition. And now I'm so glad to have another reason to proudly say "I use Arch btw"

Good intentions but many of these tests are arbitrary and flawed.

Edge Flatpak: unofficial, using zypak, same app on every Distro. Also launch times are damn irrelevant
"storage used" is likely just the DEs filesystem abstraction

I was very very surprised about Ubuntu starting so fast. Afaik they preload Snaps now, which should increase that startup time.

Windows wouldn't be too terrible if it wasn't for all the pop ups all the time.

I need to work with it because I need to create a WPF app with Visual Studio, and when I switch from Windows to my personal computer, the difference is mind blowing.

Windows push you fucking add with a notification sound. It's probably on me that I didn't disable yet, but I don't have to do that on any Linux distro.

AW man, my first choice back in the days was Debian. Seeing now your map made me remember the pain of learning along the way while solving nuclear bomb events and configurations that I had no idea even existed. Still, it was a great experience! Nowadays I just use win 11.

Lol @ the idea that backtrack/kali is someone's daily driver.

Where'd you get that image? I made that 7 or 8 years ago. Has it been making the rounds? It's weird to see it in the wild lol
