Ubuntu vs. Fedora vs. openSUSE vs. Manjaro vs. Clear Linux On Intel's Core i9 7900X

With the Himeno Poisson Pressure Solver that has traditionally benefited from AVX extensions, openSUSE Tumbleweed was the fastest.

While the fastest operating system for compiling Apache wound up being Fedora 26.

Clear Linux was able to compile the default x86-64 Linux kernel in just 40 seconds! Manjaro Linux meanwhile was the slowest at 152 seconds while Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS came in at 88 seconds.

Ubuntu 17.04 did secure a win with the C-Ray multi-threaded ray-tracer.
