Does anyone know where to find some good measurements of performance differences between common distros (with like hardware and config).

I’m interested to see if some perform better than others due to optimization etc

    I’ve just bounced into voidlinux and I’m very impressed by how complete* it is and how snappy. So that’s not a very objective measure, but my (old) battery life has jumped from 1.5h on fedora-38 to 2h+ under void (very similar workload). I think that’s an indication of how light-on the hardware the OS is - perhaps it’s because it’s not running systemd. If you’re looking to squeeze more out of your hardware, take a look at void!

    * the only thing missing from my manifest is mythtv - firefox, libreoffice, emacs syncthing etc and it’s all the latest
