Ubuntu 24.04 Brings Some Performance Gains For AMD Threadripper 7980X / System76 Thelio Major
With Ubuntu 24.04 LTS due out later this month and the beta now available, I've been spending more time recently testing out the latest development state for this next Long Term Support installment of Ubuntu Linux.
Besides the Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC gains noted in prior articles, on desktop and server platforms I'm seeing wins too from CPU performance to enhancements with the open-source graphics drivers shipped by Ubuntu 24.04. Ubuntu 24.04 now has its versions locked in such as using the Linux 6.8 kernel, Mesa 24.0 graphics drivers, GCC 13.2 compiler, etc. That Pop!_OS base besides the Ubuntu 24.04 packages will be all the more exciting thanks to System76 rolling out their Rust-written COSMIC desktop environment.
