PhoneBuff is a company that built its name by offering lab-tested, standardized reviews for smartphones run by robotic hands. Their YouTube channel showcases a range of assessments that cover speed tests, drop tests, and battery tests.

When viewers started poking them about trying Linux after a recent performance comparison they did between a Dell XPS 13 and MacBook Neo, they responded.

Taking two identical Dell XPS 13s with an Intel Core 5 320 and 8GB of RAM, one on Windows 11 and one on Fedora, the PhoneBuff crew ran the same real-world apps and workflows on each, timed by their robot mouse and keyboard (aka the clanker in question).

By the time testing concluded, Fedora won six of eleven timed tests while four tied, and Windows 11 took home a single win.

Out of curiosity, those of you that have 16 GB of RAM and use Windows 11. How much RAM does your Windows installation use in idle? Mine 4,3 GB (27%).

A is a potato is a potato. With the ram/ssdapocolypse maybe specs will go down but until then enjoy your 32GB DDR.

My Windows installation uses almost the same amount of resources, with only a 2% difference.

Interesting: This desk PC is using 4.1 Gig out of 32., I'm not sure how they got a the Windows PC to start in 32 seconds?? My lappy starts in around half that, this desk much faster, maybe there were many things in startup, who knows??
