Squeezing More Performance Out Of An Intel Celeron "Alder Lake" CPU With A Faster Linux OS

The Linux distribution choice did have some impact on the results but namely comes down to the distribution(s) shipping with the newest Linux kernel and Mesa components. Clear Linux did carry a slight lead in some of the tests.

Similarly, for ParaView workstation visualizations there was little difference among the distributions on this Alder Lake system.
