As we've shown on many systems over the years, the Blender CPU rendering performance tends to dominate on Linux compared to Windows with very significant speed-ups.

Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: Barbershop, Compute: CPU-Only. Ubuntu 24.04 was the fastest.
Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: Pabellon Barcelona, Compute: CPU-Only. Ubuntu 24.04 was the fastest.

Blender 4.1 also introduced some Linux memory allocation optimizations for even better Linux performance over Windows.

IndigoBench benchmark with settings of Acceleration: CPU, Scene: Bedroom. Ubuntu 24.04 was the fastest.
IndigoBench benchmark with settings of Acceleration: CPU, Scene: Supercar. Ubuntu 24.04 was the fastest.
Appleseed benchmark with settings of Scene: Emily. Ubuntu 24.04 was the fastest.
Appleseed benchmark with settings of Scene: Material Tester. Ubuntu 24.04 was the fastest.
Chaos Group V-RAY benchmark with settings of Mode: CPU. Ubuntu 24.04 was the fastest.

For other CPU-based rendering as well, Linux tends to yield much faster render times than Windows 11. This isn't unique at all to the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS or Framework 16 but happens almost always across various desktop/server tests too.

ASTC Encoder benchmark with settings of Preset: Fast. Windows 11 was the fastest.
ASTC Encoder benchmark with settings of Preset: Thorough. Ubuntu 24.04 was the fastest.
ASTC Encoder benchmark with settings of Preset: Exhaustive. Ubuntu 24.04 was the fastest.

The near-final Ubuntu 24.04 was performing very well for the Framework 16 laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS.
