Cpuminer-Opt benchmark with settings of Algorithm: scrypt. Ubuntu 23.10 + Perf Gov was the fastest.
Cpuminer-Opt benchmark with settings of Algorithm: Deepcoin. Windows 11 Pro H2-23 was the fastest.
Cpuminer-Opt benchmark with settings of Algorithm: Ringcoin. CentOS Stream 9 was the fastest.
Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: BMW27, Compute: CPU-Only. Debian Trixie Testing was the fastest.
Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: Classroom, Compute: CPU-Only. openSUSE Tumbleweed was the fastest.
Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: Fishy Cat, Compute: CPU-Only. CentOS Stream 9 was the fastest.
Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: Barbershop, Compute: CPU-Only. Arch Linux was the fastest.

Blender typically dominates on Linux compared to Windows and it continued to be that way for this HP Z6 G5 A testing although no significant difference between the tested Linux distributions.

Appleseed benchmark with settings of Scene: Emily. openSUSE Tumbleweed was the fastest.
Appleseed benchmark with settings of Scene: Disney Material. Debian Trixie Testing was the fastest.
Appleseed benchmark with settings of Scene: Material Tester. openSUSE Tumbleweed was the fastest.
Chaos Group V-RAY benchmark with settings of Mode: CPU. Arch Linux was the fastest.

So much for those that were betting Arch Linux was going to be dominating on the Threadripper PRO 7995WX 96-core processor.
