With Intel having sunset Clear Linux, when it comes to aggressive out-of-the-box Linux performance there is the Arch Linux based CachyOS as the leading contender. Given the recent releases of Ubuntu 25.10 and Fedora Workstation 43, if you are curious about the out-of-the-box performance here are some fresh benchmarks of all three using the Framework Desktop.

Be cautious in attribution. On a different distro I had nvidia drivers installed and working. When they weren't working It would boot to a black screen under Wayland. Anyway sorted out nvidia with Wayland. Gameplay was decent but sometimes I'd get stutter in heavy detail map areas, but later I realized there was a missing meta driver package, installing that made the system aware of switching fully to the nvidia GPU and performance improved substantially.

Switching distros sometimes provides other drivers or driver versions, which can appear like it made your system faster, when it could be on par on the other OS if the right package components installed.

The whole correlation causation scenario
