https://tube.devwithzachary.com/videos/watch/d71ad442-6c24-449e-8238-65c476911563 an we find the perfect Linux distribution by speed running ten of them? In this video, I put ten different Linux distros head to head on the StarLabs StarFighter to see which one truly deserves a spot as my main operating system. We are diving deep into the raw data, looking at install times, boot times (all the way to loading Wikipedia), Geekbench scores, and even how they handle a Cyberpunk 2077 gaming benchmark. We also explore how each distro manages software installation and take a look at what atomic distros bring to the table. From Kubuntu and Linux Mint to gaming-focussed options like Bazzite and Garuda, which one comes out on top? ❤️ Want to support the channel?

Though i'm sad you didn't try Arch💀 Great video though liked it, and dyslexia hit kinda hard yk💀💀💀
