Intel Tiger Lake Performance Across Five Autumn 2021 Linux Distributions

When it came to the graphics tests, the results were rather mixed for the distributions being on Mesa 21.2 but there are the noted kernel differences as well as differing thermal behavior among the Linux distributions with their CPU frequency scaling and Thermald defaults.

In some of the tests like LC0 that can benefit a lot from compiler optimizations, Intel's Clear Linux with the most aggressive default CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS was leading.

Ubuntu 21.10 and Fedora Workstation 35 did well against standing up to Clear Linux on the Tiger Lake notebook in a number of cases.
