>The past few weeks I have been testing out the new HP Z6 G5 A workstation desktop PC. It's a beast in being powered by the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9975WX, eight channels of DDR5-5600 memory, and paired with a NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Max-Q workstation graphics card. The full review on the HP Z6 G5 A workstation will be published on Phoronix in the next week or so but given the timing and that it shipped with WIndows 11 Pro, here is a look at how Windows 11 Pro is competing against the newly-released Ubuntu 26.04 LTS in creator/workstation workloads.

I’m surprised to see Windows beating Ubuntu in so many of the GPU benchmarks. Even with Wayland slowing it down I thought Windows’ bloat would still pull it down further. Either Microsoft has been doing some serious cleaning, or Cannonical has been making a mess.

There was some thing that came out over a decade ago about M$ paying GFx card companies to intentionally not provide quality drivers for Linux support. I think they got nailed for it and went to court. There was a similar thing with Intel and AMD where they intentionally worked better with Intel than AMD because they made a deal with Intel/PC companies to sell Intel over AMD.

yeah, the world is full of shady shit.

Wayland being a boat anchor seems to be the consensus.

A layman desktop user with dignity would use LMDE.
