Benchmarking a $46k Xeon HP Workstation: CachyOS in the Linux Performance Spotlight

Phoronix compares Windows 11 Pro and several Linux distributions—Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, AlmaLinux 10.2, CachyOS, and Fedora Workstation 44—on an HP Z4 G6i with a 48-core/96-thread Xeon 678X, 4x32GB DDR5, and RTX Pro 6000. AlmaLinux uses the Intel P-State performance governor by default, with a separate CachyOS “Performance” run to mirror that setup. The goal is to assess which OS delivers the best overall throughput for demanding workloads on a high-end workstation, with tests spanning multiple creator and compute workloads across a roughly $46k system configuration.

CachyOS Edges Windows 11 on Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, Narrowing Gap With Ubuntu and Fedora

Phoronix benchmarks on the BOSGAME VTA-439 with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 show CachyOS outperforming Windows 11 in several out-of-the-box workloads, while Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and Fedora Workstation 44 trail with CachyOS delivering a slight edge in this configuration. The tests cover Vulkan/OpenGL, Java/Embree/LuxCore, creator workloads, video encoding and more, using a 12-core/24-thread CPU, Radeon 890M GPU, 32GB RAM and 1TB NVMe SSD.

Razer Blade 18 RTX 5090: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, CachyOS, and Windows 11 Benchmark Face-Off

Phoronix benchmarks a $5,399 Razer Blade 18 laptop across Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, Windows 11, and the rolling-release CachyOS to compare performance on an RTX 5090 setup. Each OS uses its NVIDIA driver from the distro’s repo, with CachyOS on a 7.1 kernel, GCC 16.1.1, and NVIDIA R610, while Ubuntu 26.04 runs Linux 7.0 and Windows 11 is configured out-of-the-box by the vendor. A separate NVIDIA vs Nouveau comparison is planned for a future piece, and results are presented across multiple benchmark pages.

Three months on Linux, Windows fades into the background

After switching his desktop to CachyOS (an Arch-based rolling release) in January, Nathan Edwards uses Linux as his main computer and has booted Windows only twice. The ride has been calmer and more robust than expected, with occasional hardware quirks (a webcam mic glitch, ethernet wake issues, a printer headache) that he fixes through Snapper snapshots, manual partition tweaks, and driver tweaks. He’s embraced open-source tools (Zen browser, Spotify launcher, ZMK Studio) and the Unix philosophy of modular software, while still keeping Windows on his laptop for work. He plans to keep Linux as his desktop daily driver going forward.
