It turned out that there proofs and benchmarks where completely messed up and this parameter wasn’t even in use by the game so they changed nothing at all, they just experienced run to run variance, which Cyberpunk game had A LOT, it was very inconsistent.Īs said in previous post I’m not sure benchmarking distros is really relevant if not done in proper condition that would still need to be thought of and defined. Same amount of background processes kept open by the system: Roughly 400 processes (user with root) listed by KSysGuard, with about 440 in the first minute(s) after login.Ībout the benchmarks, something people seem to often forget when they do comparison is that to have relevant results, you need to have proper methodology, and also do many many runs to average them all, as many games can have run to run performance variations, it is not as easy as to run a one minute test on each distro and compare the results.īenchmarks can be good but if they are not made ‘properly’ they are not really relevant because of the random things happening on the computer in the background, the run to run variance, the subtle margin of error, and so on… Here is an example of rigorous benchmark methodology, for an example (it is about benchmarking CPUs but the principle can be applied generally).Ī good example of bad methodology is that recent Reddit thread where guys “fixed” the game Cyberpunk 2077 by modifying a config parameter in a file. The plasma widget shows roughly 0.3% to 0.6% CPU while nothing important is working… this may be a decimal or two lower than what I remember observing on openSUSE. CPU usage when idle seems to be a fraction better on Manjaro.I’d estimate 300 MB to potentially 1 GB lower on average after many hours of uptime (5.0 GB versus +5.6 GB). Memory usage seems to be a tad better on Manjaro.It’s hard to sense the difference between boot and login speeds as well as how quickly applications open, but I can say for sure it’s definitely not any slower. General system performance is roughly the same, possibly a bit faster by a barely noticeable amount.Here’s a rough description of what I’m seeing so far: Of course this isn’t a proper benchmark, I’m citing what I remember from memory. I guess I can start with mine Having moved from openSUSE to Manjaro on my main system this week, I can do a partial comparison, especially as I’m using the same software and even ported my home directory with application settings. While I’m still hyped about having switched to Manjaro, I figured I’d take this opportunity and ask: How does performance truly compare to other Linux distros? I’m honestly intrigued to see a proper benchmark for this OS! Not just in terms of used idle resources, but practical performance including FPS in games. Yet another thing I love about this distribution is that it appears to be more lightweight than other Linux distros I toyed with.
