      Phoronix takes thirteen UNIX systems, three BSD based and ten Linux based and puts them to the test with several different operations to see how they stack up in performance. The results are rather surprising with performance being all over the map.

        @mlnews Never has been picking the right OS so hard. Those are some crazy performance differences on the same hardware.

          TL;DR can you tell me which is the best?

            Only if I know the exact workload. (That was only 4 pages long, short for a Phoronix article!)

              @travisdh1 Personal laptop with occasional access to a corporate vpn.

              Web Browsing and video watching.

                In same ways that makes it easier, if you know your workload the winner is more clear. Rather than if they were all super close.

                  For home laptop use (non-gaming) be sure to check out PC-BSD. It's screaming fast, super stable and very responsive.

                    What's the cisco anyconnect client/services used on PC-BSD?

                    I haven't ever looked into it before but will give it a try.

                      In this particular article it was a solid, but not fastest, performer in the transcoding benchmarks they ran, which were about as close to web serfing and video watching. PC-BSD is the fastest bar none if you're compiling software or iops intensive workloads.
