Benchmarking 9 Linux Distributions On A $50 Processor

Arch Linux based EndeavourOS and Manjaro Linux were notably slower than the rest when it came to running Mozilla's DeepSpeech speech-to-text engine.

Manjaro and EndeavourOS were also the slowest with the Perl script performance.

The two Arch Linux based distributions along with CentOS Stream had a significantly higher context switching time on this budget processor compared to the rest of the Linux operating systems benchmarked.

Audio encoding with the likes of FLAC and LAME continue to be the fastest on Clear Linux due to its default compiler optimizations.

Clear Linux's Python build also remained the fastest of the Linux distributions tested.
