The GIMP startup slowness on Windows 10 appears to be when GIMP looks for FONTS on Windows - at least this is where I noticed it seemed to take much longer. Great video, interesting to see how much better Arch is at most tasks.
An important thing to note about the game benchmark is the fact almost all games use DirectX not OpenGL. I find that DirectX to Vulkan translation costs about 10%-15% of your overall FPS in DX11/12 games, so unless the game natively supports Vulkan or OpenGL it will perform worse in Linux. World of Warcraft actually performs the same in DX11 mode as it does in DX12 mode which is a shame as DX12 doubles the frame-rate for me on my laptop in Windows. Otherwise this is consistent which almost every game I tried.
but aren't like... a huge % of games written using engines like unreal, cryengine or unity? all of which have vulkan ports (i assume... they all work with consoles!)
I agree. I guess many of libraries required by the application were already loaded on GNU/Linux because they may be used by the rest of the system. I think this is why the application loaded a lot faster. I think he should also compare performance of GIMP when it is loading from AppImage or use statically linked applications.
@@nymusicman I just tried to run GIMP 2.10.12 myself on the same version of MS Windows like he used. It loaded in 7 seconds ("Loading brushes..." step took the most of the time). Then I tried to do a reboot and try to run it again just after MS Windows loaded. Then it loaded in 14 seconds (different step took most of time, I don't remember which one but not fonts). I guess that just after reboot it takes more time because MS Windows still loading other stuff in the background. Then I tried to run GIMP on LUbuntu with LXDE (on the same PC), I didn't check which version. GIMP loaded in slightly more than 2 seconds. My PC is almost 10 year old Dell Vostro 3350 with Intel Core i5-2430M, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, SSD on SATA 3. So it seems very strange to me that his PC took over 30 seconds to load GIMP.

It's been over a year, so I think it's mandatory you re-run these with latest versions (Windows 11/Debian 11) and maybe also throw OpenSuse Tumbleweed into the mix to represent Slackware.
I would like to see this test performed on a machined that's been in use for a year or so, running the typical everyday apps. Windows is fast on clean install but after a few months drag to a halt. I use a Debian based distro which doesn't appear to do the same and all my apps are still rather snappy.
Moreover, the linux kernel shipped in Debian is very generic, and has no specific laptop/desktop optimized flavour. I use Debian, and performances increased significantly after I configured and built a kernel with more recent source code and a leaner configuration.
It probably played a big role in the PHP Benchmark. The advantage of Arch is the newer software (this is not always an advantage). I don't think that it is more light weight, Debian and Arch are most likely the same when it comes to system recourses.
its because Debian doesnt update so often, you will see old software version, for example, if Windows, Ubuntu o any other has Firefox 54, you will see in Debian Firefox 52 kinda. They wont update till they are complete sure that is safe for your system.

gimp and libre are so slow on windows has to load more libs or something that linux already has my guess. gimp feels emulated on windows these days. definitely one of my favorite apps to work in. i love arch with gnome so refreshing when you open something you can really tell it throws your full power at the task you give it while windows has to queue up the spying of that app and most likely its massive code length just to open anything before opening it. once youre inside of a aaa game on windows its pretty alright i guess and has full backing of nvidia, steam and any other corp making the title specific to the os, kind of unfortunate that linux doesnt have windows level of a game library but its still good enough that id like to make the full switch soon, right now i just have arch on a usb 2tb id like to put it on a m.2 ssd when i get one.
Yea Linux, especially Gnome, which is based on GTK (Gimp ToolKit), uses shared libraries that are used by multiple programs. When you run Gimp, the GTK libraries are already loaded, because the whole desktop environment uses those libraries, and Gimp uses those instead of loading new ones. That cuts the loading time a lot. On Windows, every time you run Gimp, the GTK libraries have to be loaded.
Nice comparison, much appreciated! Anyway, I will continue to use Debian SID as my "daily driver" :) I don't recommend it on a server but it is very stable for a daily usage on a laptop or on a desktop and it is a "rolling" release like Arch. Peace!
I just gave Manjaro a try on an old laptop I use every once and a while. I didn't realize how snappy and fast arch was on it compared to the other debian OSs I have been using on it.
I have a netbook that Ubuntu (Unity DE) absolutely crawled on, but Lubuntu (selectable at boot screen) worked just fine. Other distros of the era didn't enable the netbooks wifi card OOTB, so I was forced to stay with it. Aside from the annoying fact that some settings were not accessible via the Lubuntu (or vanilla LXDE Canonical also offered), forcing me to occasionally boot into the molasses-like Unity DE.
@@vinyl.croatia Considering M.2 are getting cheaper SSD's are not really "high end" now, I got it for $99. I know Linux is great but even when I had a trash HDD my windows booted in only 15 seconds or even less.
I use OpenSCAD, win10 122 seconds, Arch 60 seconds, Debian 57 seconds on a particular design I tested. It really does seem that the specific tasks really matter.
Probably would have been a more fair comparison between distros if you ran the same desktop environment between the two since their overhead will probably have more of an impact on performance than anything else. Though you do also have windows as a contender, so hey, it's already apples to oranges. If anything it would be nice to know the desktop environments you used for each OS, I recognize Gnome on Debian, but I can't discern what DE you're using for the endeavouros machine.
@@escapetherace1943 Bro wasn't even using real Arch. True Arch would have performed better on most except probably the render test, because he used EndeavorOS, which is optimized for gaming.
@@shringe9769 arch literally sucks and is cringe and populated by people who think they are powerusers when their programming socks are on too tight no thanks
So I did a similar test before between windows 10 and Ubuntu, for GPU rendering. Dual boot so both on the exact same system off the same drive. Windows perform 24% better in its ability to use the GPU for rendering 3d video. This is something I specifically have to do so it matters to me, especially when a render might take several hours- 1/4 saved time means a lot. Of course this is a very specific usage and doesn't really represent normal use, but it's not what I expected... especially considering that both operating systems were using the official nvidia drivers.
Endeavour os is an absolute banger of an OS and a great implementation of arch. Super stable, literally the same as arch in the sense of a vanilla arch installation, super clean,super snappy
Pick your OS (poison) for the need. Those that like Windows will never switch to Linux; either due to feeling it is too complicated or due to software compatibility. As for Linux, I dual boot (separate drives) as I’m a Windows support / system admin and that is the corporate environment I need to keep up with, but I really like my Arch install. To me, Arch just flows so much better than Debian based systems. Here again, there’s Debian fan boys that will scathe my comment; and Arch users that will praise me for running vanilla Arch rather than Endeavor or Manjaro. Which is another reason why some won’t switch to Linux. The animosity and outright hostility towards Windows is one thing; distro to distro is just sad for the community at large.
ya, compatibility... speed is fine, but if i cant do what i want to whats the point.... first software i install are: key manager, XmouseButtonControl, hot virtual keyboard, directory opus, lightscreen, 7 stickyNotes, MT5/MLQ5 trading, potPlayer, notepad++, NetLimiter 4, Tixati, sordum topmost, need the magnifier, +++... what am i gonna do with any Linux???... lol
The biggest Speed gain is when actually using the OSs .. Any Linux Distro will smoke Windows .. The system lag with Windows is massive, application crashes, update hell and virus issues when using Windows. Open Source FTW !
You could try Debian vs. Devuan with similar desktops to see how much time SystemD adds to the boot process, by my experience it's a surprisingly long time. And also we would see how much overhead is added.
@@lawrencedoliveiro9104 ? I didn't say I did. I said I had a given experience, you answered you had good reasons to think that it ought to be the opposite, and finally i answered that it was all the more reason to try to put it to the test.
Interesting. I wonder what causes differences. I assume that graphics drivers are slightly different, memory manager is different, and running background tasks are different. For me most important would be something like application tests: time to run gimp, blender, to open some big file, to find specific file inside directory structure, to perform maintenance/optimization of large database etc.
Arch also has different kernel versions, one of them is Zen Kernel which is an optimized version supposed to be "the best" in terms of performance. You should try this on next.
The best in performance will always be the one tailored & built for your specific hardware and cpu, I use zen because of the features, I can't bother to test performance
Windows for me Never had much good experience with Linux in general.. Ubuntu was the best but still had a few issues like screen tearing even tho latest drivers were installed and vpn not working Debian didn’t boot at all every time after installing 4 times in a row OpenSuse was good.. but many key features were not working like simple video playback, suspend issues and again screen tearing And for me it’s not worth to invest hours to fix this Linux as Main OS is cool if you have the time to work everything out .. but for productivity it’s just not near reliable as Windows is I know those experiences are subjective, just my opinion Also one example: I created a windows installer on USB one year ago and this works no matter how often I use it Making a USB installer for a Linux distro has some luck to it .. sometimes it works, sometimes it reports errors during installation
I don't know why but whenever I boot linux on a separate drive or an usb stick, something happens to windows and cpu usage goes down. For example, before I used linux I had 15 percent cpu usage in windows. After using linux, it went down to 7 percent. Now it is at 3 percent. That concerns me. As for your post, linux works fine so does windows. I have no problem using both
2:14 - Windows launched it so slow because of the Windows Defender I'm 99% sure. Edit: I also found that Linux have loaded most of the libraries (they are needed for DE) while Windows does not (it uses Win32 API and not GTK+)
I wonder if different linux desktops would have different results in 3D benchmark? I once did the Half-Life 2 Lost Coast benchmarking using ArcoLinux with different desktops and had interesting results.
Nice video. I watched the older ones too. It would good if in comparison videos is mentioned and the power management (battery life) during the tests especially for these on laptops. I thing it would be helpful do userts to choose between a second or two of performance and a minute or two to use their machine. ✌🏻
I'd be curious to see the key libraries/package differences aside from the kernel that might be contributing to the differences in the debian and arch system. also, if there were any driver/cpu microcode version differences, and any differences in the default cpu power settings for the distro or if change the amd processor profile is different in different distros.
@@Jameshazlett As I said in a another comment "I've done other benchmarking videos with GNOME and XFCE distros. The difference is so minor in tests like this unless you're running a really low end system. The DE might add half a second to boot and opening the file manager may take a tenth of a second longer to open. I went with that what the distros default DE was. "
Well, it's very interesting, but I'm not sure how would it turn out on completely different hardware. I mean - the speed of various tasks may strongly depend on the driver software. Some drivers might work faster on one OS and slower on another. So - on those laptops Windows is slower. But I'm not sure, maybe there are hardware configurations that would give completely different results. Anyway, thanks for the test, it was very interesting to watch. BTW, I remember the times the Linux struggled with 3D graphics. The times of very poor GPU drivers. I see it changed a lot.
Boot speed was not fair, I think the desktop environments should be same on both the distros, i.e. the lightest Desktop available and should be compared to the lightest version of windows wiht no unecessary apps on startup. Good Effort overall, keep up the good work.

@@TechHut does debian have a default de? I am using it and it just asks me which de to use during installation. How do you know that gnome is default for debian
Default is the wrong word. It's the first option and it's what they commonly use in demonstrations. The main point of what I said was the lack difference on systems with okay specs.
@@cevizagaci31 In Debian, if you select "Debian desktop environment" during installation, and you don't actually select which environment below, then you will end up with GNOME anyway, so, technically, it's the default, though a very weak default since it asks you what you want. This also brings up another point, though. I believe that Debian with GNOME uses Wayland by default, so that could be another difference in the general environment being used.
@@laurentiucalonfir Phoronix does many more tests and more or less Debian is in neck to neck with Arch. With wild variation of Arch as it has regular changes.
Booting into OS is NOT a benchmark. It is NOT a process. It's a random collection of custom services YOU DECIDE TO START. Similar with "starting application". It's NOT a benchmark. Do you use caches? Prefetch? etc. etc. etc. Slower might be better, and might be not. Depends.
"YOU DECIDE TO START" this was the base installation of all of these operating systems with nothing changed other than the login requirements for all of them.
Windows runs smoothly in a fresh install, a year later you feel the need to buy a new computer, debian/arch runs smoothly in a fresh install and a year later runs better lol
Curious to see if Debian with updated Mesa would've scored more on the GPU test. That's a fun test you've done, thank you. Do you think Ubuntu would've been more appropriate? Asking because Debian's philosophy is focusing on rather outdated, albeit well-tested, packages and none of the other two OSs in the test are *that* stale in terms of package version.
@@TechHut Yes, but packages on debian are really old and sometimes makes performance bad, ubuntu and pop are far superior for people who needs performance..especially for gaming.
Hey TechHut, how about a challenge: Using Raspberry 0 w as your main PC for a day or three? I'm sugesting this because in 2012, Chris from Explaining Computers used Rpi2 as his PC for a week. Now in 2021, covid made more jobs change to the online model, and here in Brazil the prices of computers got very high. As i'm using my Rpi4 for main computer for a whole year, ive had a really good experience on manjaro with sway etc. Many wonder what can be used or not in Rpi0w, so this test could be great. Some details to make the sugestion working: -SYSTEM: raspberry OS. Maybe you get a better experience with arch, dietPi or even Gentoo idk. -DESKTOP ENVIROMENT: change the LXDE to sway or i3 (novaspirit has a great tutorial on this). Maybe 540p resolution would be better -PROGRAMS: abiword instead of libreoffice, gimp?, firefox with lightweight extensions or some terminal browser (i can sugest more tips on this topic) -HARDWARE RECOMENDATIONS: SSD or HD with external powering instead of the microSD memory, a good microSD or even leepspvideo's PiSafe's eMMC to boot, keyboard with dongle, cable management, and of course a great usb hub or the GPIO shild with more USBs -CHALLENGES: try typing some text, light image and audio editing, youtube playback with h264ify or pasting the link in vlc, gaming (even light PS1 games works), benchmarks, light versions of sites like gmail and facebook, video or audio conferences, multitasking in general with htop, wine, DRM, ssh, cmatrix of course, etc

That would mean, that if somebody is editing music, movies, playing games, whatever... they should have as much as free hardware to use as a resource for their activity. ... For this reason, the operating system *has to be* lightweight. That's the reason why i think that Windows is not a good operating system *and totally not worth the money*

I have a NUC with a 980 Pro PCIE 4 with Ubuntu and it feels not as smooth as Windows 10/11 even if it does not slow down technically. I cannot explain why.
Not sure why this has Debian running Gnome and EndeavourOS on Xfce. Of course Debian is going to be trailing behind! And sure, I know they are their default desktops. But then it's not a comparison between Debian and Arch but more between DEs.

The advantage of Arch is the newer software (this is not always an advantage). I don't think that it is more light weight, Debian and Arch are most likely the same when it comes to system recourses.
I also not convinced that he used the same exact laptop for every test unless he's got heck alot of money
its because Debian doesnt update so often, you will see old software version, for example, if Windows, Ubuntu o any other has Firefox 54, you will see in Debian Firefox 52 kinda.
They wont update till they are complete sure that is safe for your system.

gimp and libre are so slow on windows has to load more libs or something that linux already has my guess. gimp feels emulated on windows these days. definitely one of my favorite apps to work in. i love arch with gnome so refreshing when you open something you can really tell it throws your full power at the task you give it while windows has to queue up the spying of that app and most likely its massive code length just to open anything before opening it. once youre inside of a aaa game on windows its pretty alright i guess and has full backing of nvidia, steam and any other corp making the title specific to the os, kind of unfortunate that linux doesnt have windows level of a game library but its still good enough that id like to make the full switch soon, right now i just have arch on a usb 2tb id like to put it on a m.2 ssd when i get one.
Yea Linux, especially Gnome, which is based on GTK (Gimp ToolKit), uses shared libraries that are used by multiple programs. When you run Gimp, the GTK libraries are already loaded, because the whole desktop environment uses those libraries, and Gimp uses those instead of loading new ones. That cuts the loading time a lot. On Windows, every time you run Gimp, the GTK libraries have to be loaded.
@@ClifffSVK Even if you have multiple Windows apps that run on GTK, those libs are independent of each other and has to be loaded separately.

Probably would have been a more fair comparison between distros if you ran the same desktop environment between the two since their overhead will probably have more of an impact on performance than anything else. Though you do also have windows as a contender, so hey, it's already apples to oranges. If anything it would be nice to know the desktop environments you used for each OS, I recognize Gnome on Debian, but I can't discern what DE you're using for the endeavouros machine.

So I did a similar test before between windows 10 and Ubuntu, for GPU rendering. Dual boot so both on the exact same system off the same drive. Windows perform 24% better in its ability to use the GPU for rendering 3d video. This is something I specifically have to do so it matters to me, especially when a render might take several hours- 1/4 saved time means a lot.
Of course this is a very specific usage and doesn't really represent normal use, but it's not what I expected... especially considering that both operating systems were using the official nvidia drivers.

Maybe the Arch results would be even better using the original Arch, not an Arch based distriburion.
Pick your OS (poison) for the need. Those that like Windows will never switch to Linux; either due to feeling it is too complicated or due to software compatibility.
As for Linux, I dual boot (separate drives) as I’m a Windows support / system admin and that is the corporate environment I need to keep up with, but I really like my Arch install. To me, Arch just flows so much better than Debian based systems.
Here again, there’s Debian fan boys that will scathe my comment; and Arch users that will praise me for running vanilla Arch rather than Endeavor or Manjaro.
Which is another reason why some won’t switch to Linux. The animosity and outright hostility towards Windows is one thing; distro to distro is just sad for the community at large.

The biggest Speed gain is when actually using the OSs .. Any Linux Distro will smoke Windows .. The system lag with Windows is massive, application crashes, update hell and virus issues when using Windows. Open Source FTW !
Debian has always been the OS for me
Wow! Very thorough comparison you did there.
Must have taken forever to complete.
Thank you, it's very informative. Instant sub.
Do openSUSE next. I was testing it on my laptop versus others. Booted faster, at least for me, than Debian and Arch based.
Arch with Alacritty is the fastest terminal setup I’ve ever used. It feels instantaneous when starting a terminal window.

You could try Debian vs. Devuan with similar desktops to see how much time SystemD adds to the boot process, by my experience it's a surprisingly long time. And also we would see how much overhead is added.
systemd runs boot tasks in parallel where possible, which makes them faster.

I didn't say I did. I said I had a given experience, you answered you had good reasons to think that it ought to be the opposite, and finally i answered that it was all the more reason to try to put it to the test.
Interesting. I wonder what causes differences. I assume that graphics drivers are slightly different, memory manager is different, and running background tasks are different. For me most important would be something like application tests: time to run gimp, blender, to open some big file, to find specific file inside directory structure, to perform maintenance/optimization of large database etc.

Arch also has different kernel versions, one of them is Zen Kernel which is an optimized version supposed to be "the best" in terms of performance. You should try this on next.
The best in performance will always be the one tailored & built for your specific hardware and cpu, I use zen because of the features, I can't bother to test performance
The best now is TKG-PDS for single core, and TKD-BMQ for multi core, custom compiled for your system of course.

@techhut, you did a miscalculation at 10:17 .... Debian is ahead by 9 seconds compared to Arch OR Debian is ahead by 6 seconds compared to Windows!
I don't like PizzaHut but I like TechHut
PizzaHut is awful!
Windows for me
Never had much good experience with Linux in general..
Ubuntu was the best but still had a few issues like screen tearing even tho latest drivers were installed and vpn not working
Debian didn’t boot at all every time after installing 4 times in a row
OpenSuse was good.. but many key features were not working like simple video playback, suspend issues and again screen tearing
And for me it’s not worth to invest hours to fix this
Linux as Main OS is cool if you have the time to work everything out .. but for productivity it’s just not near reliable as Windows is
I know those experiences are subjective, just my opinion
Also one example: I created a windows installer on USB one year ago and this works no matter how often I use it
Making a USB installer for a Linux distro has some luck to it .. sometimes it works, sometimes it reports errors during installation
I don't know why but whenever I boot linux on a separate drive or an usb stick, something happens to windows and cpu usage goes down. For example, before I used linux I had 15 percent cpu usage in windows. After using linux, it went down to 7 percent. Now it is at 3 percent. That concerns me.
As for your post, linux works fine so does windows. I have no problem using both
I use debian by the way.
I use Gentoo and Arch.
Which branch Stable , testing or unstable ??
I have triple boot on my laptop. Windows to play games. Arch as Main OS. And Linux Mint for the emergency time when I f*** Arch up.

2:14 - Windows launched it so slow because of the Windows Defender
I'm 99% sure.
Edit: I also found that Linux have loaded most of the libraries (they are needed for DE) while Windows does not (it uses Win32 API and not GTK+)
Even though Debian came dead last in all the testing, I still think it is an amazing OS. I have it installed on my VAIO.
I wonder if different linux desktops would have different results in 3D benchmark? I once did the Half-Life 2 Lost Coast benchmarking using ArcoLinux with different desktops and had interesting results.
Nice video. I watched the older ones too. It would good if in comparison videos is mentioned and the power management (battery life) during the tests especially for these on laptops.

I'd be curious to see the key libraries/package differences aside from the kernel that might be contributing to the differences in the debian and arch system. also, if there were any driver/cpu microcode version differences, and any differences in the default cpu power settings for the distro or if change the amd processor profile is different in different distros.
To be fair, Endeavor uses XFCE so it uses less resources than other OSes.
You ruined the whole video. Public service you have provided.
@@Jameshazlett As I said in a another comment "I've done other benchmarking videos with GNOME and XFCE distros. The difference is so minor in tests like this unless you're running a really low end system. The DE might add half a second to boot and opening the file manager may take a tenth of a second longer to open. I went with that what the distros default DE was. "
XFCE is the second-most bloated GUI, after GNOME.
Well, it's very interesting, but I'm not sure how would it turn out on completely different hardware. I mean - the speed of various tasks may strongly depend on the driver software. Some drivers might work faster on one OS and slower on another. So - on those laptops Windows is slower. But I'm not sure, maybe there are hardware configurations that would give completely different results. Anyway, thanks for the test, it was very interesting to watch. BTW, I remember the times the Linux struggled with 3D graphics. The times of very poor GPU drivers. I see it changed a lot.

@@TechHut ok , i got it
@@cevizagaci31 In Debian, if you select "Debian desktop environment" during installation, and you don't actually select which environment below, then you will end up with GNOME anyway, so, technically, it's the default, though a very weak default since it asks you what you want.
This also brings up another point, though. I believe that Debian with GNOME uses Wayland by default, so that could be another difference in the general environment being used.

Now in 2021, covid made more jobs change to the online model, and here in Brazil the prices of computers got very high. As i'm using my Rpi4 for main computer for a whole year, ive had a really good experience on manjaro with sway etc. Many wonder what can be used or not in Rpi0w, so this test could be great. Some details to make the sugestion working:
-SYSTEM: raspberry OS. Maybe you get a better experience with arch, dietPi or even Gentoo idk.
-DESKTOP ENVIROMENT: change the LXDE to sway or i3 (novaspirit has a great tutorial on this). Maybe 540p resolution would be better
-PROGRAMS: abiword instead of libreoffice, gimp?, firefox with lightweight extensions or some terminal browser (i can sugest more tips on this topic)
-HARDWARE RECOMENDATIONS: SSD or HD with external powering instead of the microSD memory, a good microSD or even leepspvideo's PiSafe's eMMC to boot, keyboard with dongle, cable management, and of course a great usb hub or the GPIO shild with more USBs
-CHALLENGES: try typing some text, light image and audio editing, youtube playback with h264ify or pasting the link in vlc, gaming (even light PS1 games works), benchmarks, light versions of sites like gmail and facebook, video or audio conferences, multitasking in general with htop, wine, DRM, ssh, cmatrix of course, etc
