Honestly at that performance level I think it’s more important to focus on usability. Screen scaling/clarity, battery life, and how responsive the UI is.

It’s the same reason Android tablets often get such a bad rap, people get the cheap ones that have to unload every app anytime you sneeze and the home screen UI is noticeably laggy.

While some of those metrics are subjective and more difficult to quantify, I would have liked to see boot speed, app launch, video playback, and WiFi tests of some kind.

Still interesting to see that windows is not as horrible as is often portrayed. I want their improvements to succeed because that will make Linux more likely to improve as well, even if just out of spite.

So Ubuntu was the worst, then Windows did about 10 percent better (WTF??) and cachyos did another 6 percent better then Windows.

The fact that Windows beat Ubuntu on a low powered laptop? Very concerning for Canonical…
