Small sample set aside, the performance differences here are much bigger than I’ve seen in previous linux comparisons. Something has to be off right? Curious if anyone is able to reproduce these results.

    Typing terminal commands is actually the easiest and the fastest way to install a Linux system. It’s just not a normie way, obviously. For the folks that know what they’re doing and why they’re doing it, it’s just really simpler than walking through a GUI.

      Most folks that know what they are doing would probably just reproduce their existing install (with some tweaks to account for hardware) with a config file and skip the fuss of typing too much, just the essential stuff. For me at the moment, I find graphical installers to be breezy as fuck, yet, I could see a time when maybe vanilla Arch is in my grasp. LOL Perhaps.

        Right you are! I needed to install Linux like five times recently, this month alone, and the best I invented is to just clone my laptop’s system (Arch, by the way) and then tweak a few things here and there. In the future, I guess I won’t even bother installing when I can clone my system within minutes (and half an hour on waiting for rsync to finish).
