With Intel having sunset Clear Linux, when it comes to aggressive out-of-the-box Linux performance there is the Arch Linux based CachyOS as the leading contender. Given the recent releases of Ubuntu 25.10 and Fedora Workstation 43, if you are curious about the out-of-the-box performance here are some fresh benchmarks of all three using the Framework Desktop.

      well that and cachys opengl performance is like 1.5x the other distros in super tux kart, so if you had some legacy games, its run better in cachy probably but raw modern hardware would have likely made it trivial. the one exception i could imagine where opengl performance probably matters is heavily modded java minecraft

      Granted in some cases all three Linux distributions were performing close to one another on this AMD Ryzen AI Max+ desktop.
