One interesting and unexpected takeaway was finding some of the video encoding tests showing a small performance improvement with the Linux 6.6 Git kernel. I wasn't anticipating that but still early into my Linux 6.6 kernel testing and will be exploring it more on different systems over the coming weeks.
