The Fastest AArch64 Linux Distribution On The 192-Core AmpereOne


When it comes to the question of the fastest x86_64 Linux distribution the answer is very easy with Intel's Clear Linux.

Thanks to supporting open standards like UEFI, Arm SBSA/SBBR and ACPI and not having to rely on DeviceTrees or other nuisances, installing an AArch64 Linux distribution on Ampere hardware is as easy as in the x86_64 space. All seven tested Linux distributions installed fine on this Supermicro ARS-211M-NR R13SPD with AmpereOne A192-32X and 8 x 64GB DDR5-5200 ECC RDIMMs with Samsung NVMe SSD storage. Great experience and I wish dealing with different Linux distributions on all ARM SBCs/systems were this easy like in the x86_64 land.
