@thelinuxexperiment Real as far as I have found. For sure, the scheduler improves day-to-day usability from any other os Iโ€™ve used.

    @thelinuxexperimentHi Nick!A few comments:I am not sure if it was smart to use the #steam #flatpak? Steam uses electron / CEF and is a platform, so running that through flatpak at least introduces a few weird hacks like #zypak afaik. It will also use general, not optimized libaries for a lot of tasks, where #CachyOS could shine with v3 or v4 optimized binaries.For the speed-test, an internet facing one doesnt make much sense as your speeds seem to be capped at 500mbits up/down. Instead using "netcat | pv" to get some file from a fast local machine might make sense.And about the mic volume, that is a #Linux thing! Normally there should be #alsa configs for every speaker so that 100% is okay. Changing the speaker volume generally is a hack and doesnt exist on Android, Windows or other OSes. It is simply there because of missing alsa configs. A laptop where the vendor made an alsa config that is preinstalled on distros would need 100% mic volume. (As far as I know)Otherwise really interesting benchmarks! The small file write speed is really important as that resembles regular desktop use, web browsing etc.

    @thelinuxexperiment I think that you should have used the default BTRFS on Cachy. If the devs chose it in place of EXT4 and it gives better performance it's no different than what they did with the scheduler in my opinion.

    @thelinuxexperiment @thelinuxEXP Does @peertube take a while to process a video just like YouTube used to? I'm surprised it's only 360p.

    Problems with Arch => skill issue

    Why is 360p the max resolution of your video? Usually 720p would be the sweet spot as some of us have old Linux computers struggling with 1080p60, but 360 is way too low.Otherwise it's a great video, as usual. Keep up the good work!

    As a Debian user, I'd love to see this same video for PikaOS!
