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.

Afaik basically all CPUs do. Generally all hardware, if not artificially limited by withholding drivers, will perform better under linux.
Microshit wasting money ruining windows and spending no cash on optimization. Corpo leadership for ya in today's America.
Parasites just looting.
No need to optimize when you can just push people to upgrade their hardware more frequently so you make fat stacks of cash from OEM's.
It's gotten to the point though that it actually works better on older hardware as the system can't actually fully utilise the new hardware because it's not programmed to do that. It's actually such a sad state of affairs. I don't know how the Windows devs can cope anymore. If I worked on that product I would hate my life.
So many f****** ads I gave my cell phone cancer.
TMA:DR
When taking the geometric mean of 73 benchmarks run for this comparison, upgrading from the Ryzen 9 7950X to 9950X on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS yielded a 14% generational improvement with this set of cross-platform applications/benchmarks while under Windows 11 was a 10% generational improvement. The raw performance of Ubuntu Linux on the AMD Ryzen processors also was greater overall to the extent of the Ryzen 9 7950X to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS nearly matching the Ryzen 9 9950X on Microsoft Windows 11.
Where is the tldr bot now? You guys bullied him
Was actually a damn good bot =(
We never knew how much we needed the bot. Then we clicked on an article and were swathed in ads.
Loads into a clean, zero ad, dark mode reader. Like just about everything i do on mobile. Wtf kind of mobile setups are y’all rocking where you can visiting web pages like 2009?
Firefox, pi hole
So then what’s wrong with your setup? I see zero adds.
No ads with Mull and uBlock Origin.
already running firefox, usually the piholes eat the ads. not on that site tho for some reason
Why not Ublock origin?
I run Ublock origin and Privacy badger on my phone
Hm strange, can't you add/modify PiHole's block lists? Perhaps you can add all of uBlock's lists in it?
They're usually pretty aggressive, something about what was on this site passed by it though or maybe my s***'s broken I don't see ads anywhere else...
I will have to say, that site has a ridiculously amazing amount of ads. It's like they took all the ads from all the recipes that ever had chicken noodle soup and added them to all the recipes for people that searched for a certain air cleaner and put them together under one page
Ublock
Meh, it was ok on the ad front.
This is because M$s scheduler sucks, and needs to be updated for the new AMD CPUs. Happened in the past with other Ryzen releases.
Why don't they reverse the axis on the "less if better" graphs so you don't have to look at the note on every graph...
I read an article recently comparing w10 and w11 performance and the numbers were basically the same as this. No gamer should be running w11.
No human should be running w11.
The best thing here is Michael tested it with kernel 6.8.0, which is released in march - so there is no special optimization for new CPU in it. And, it still runs faster.
