Fedora Linux Outperforms Windows 11 in Speed and Memory Usage Tests
A comparative test reveals Fedora Linux is faster and uses less memory than Windows 11 in most basic and common tasks. The benchmark was conducted on two identical Dell XPS 13 laptops with 8GB of RAM.
YouTube channel PhoneBuff has released a comparative test indicating that Fedora Linux outperforms Windows 11 in speed across a majority of basic and common tasks. The benchmark was performed on two identical Dell XPS 13 laptops, each equipped with 8GB of RAM.
The tests evaluated various scenarios, including boot-up, restart, file decompression, development tools, office applications, image processing, and gaming. The results consistently showed Fedora leading Windows 11 in most categories.
Notably, Fedora Linux demonstrated faster restart times. The test also highlighted that Fedora utilizes less RAM in idle states compared to Windows 11, which consumed more memory under similar conditions. File decompression performance was particularly weaker on Windows 11's native file explorer, with a significant difference compared to using 7-Zip.
Furthermore, Fedora Linux showed superior performance when running development tools like Visual Studio Code. While Windows 11 had an edge in gaming benchmarks, Fedora Linux emerged as the faster system overall in a variety of common computing tasks.
