I was using alamlinux 8 but then move to Ubuntu

On my netcup root server, I noticed on serverscope benchmark , the CPU performance Ubuntu 20 is constantly have 15-20% score than alamlinux 8 does, which is really weird, but that makes me migrate to Ubuntu...

I saw difference in Zen2-based CPU performance too, but on 22.04 vs 20.04

Probably kernel from 22.04 has improvemwnts for these chips. Also small improvement for Xeon v2 perf too

I remember I tried alamlinux 8/9 with manually installed latest kernel (6.0 if I recall), still doesn't add up, single core score is about same, but mutlicore score improved quite some though

Debian. Doesn't mean it's the best solution , but I am using it since always, and never had to complain about it.

These days, Debian. In the past, I liked CentOS.

I am surprised to see CentOS mentioned as much as I see it above. I assumed that people would be migrating away from it, towards AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux, which nobody has mentioned yet.
