Ubuntu 25.04 Beta Delivering Some Nice Performance Improvements Over Ubuntu 24.10

Ubuntu 25.04 beta is set to be released today and thus this week I've begun testing out the latest Ubuntu 25.04 builds on different systems for seeing how this six-month Ubuntu Linux update is looking compared to the prior Ubuntu 24.10 release.

In this first Ubuntu 25.04 beta benchmarking article is a look at the performance using an AMD Ryzen 9000 series desktop and Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics. Ubuntu 25.04 beta is quite exciting with shipping the very-new Linux 6.14 kernel and the recently-minted GNOME 48 desktop. Ubuntu 25.04 beta benchmarks on server hardware and server/HPC workloads along with other Ubuntu 25.04 hardware performance benchmarks will come in additional articles on Phoronix over the coming weeks.
