Ubuntu 25.04 vs. Fedora Workstation 42 Performance On AMD Strix Point


With both Ubuntu 25.04 and Fedora 42 releasing this month you may be curious how these two Linux distributions are competing for performance.

There are also other common components like the Mesa 25.0 graphics drivers, Python 3.13, OpenJDK 21, and alignment on other key package versions. This is an 8-core AMD Zen 5 laptop with integrated Radeon 880M (RDNA 3.5) graphics, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB Kioxia PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. The same laptop was (obviously) used for these fresh installs of Ubuntu 25.04 and Fedora Workstation 42 for an initial look at how these Q2'2025 Linux distributions are competing.
