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.

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"

Haha yeah, zypper is so damn slow. I thought about trying dnf in opensuse but didn't want to risk breaking my install.

And their zipp animation makes no sense if it is fast

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.
