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.

Maybe I'm missing something, but shouldn't the benchmark be a good approximation to the real workload? I don't see how the measurements reflect the performance difference in real life usages.

Why would I need 100MiB/s processing as opposed to 20MiB/s processing, when I can only read maybe several lines per second?

Faster processing means more efficient processing which means less power draw.

How about keypress latency? Over 3x faster than gnome terminal and 4x faster than alacritty
