Ubuntu: Benchmarks and HowTos

Early Ubuntu 21.04 Benchmarks Point To Some Slides In Performances But Overall Flat - Phoronix
Some of the most significant slowdowns seen on this system were with heavy multi-threaded workloads with the likes of the Intel SVT video encoder benchmarks. But with both Ubuntu 20.10 and 21.04 making use of GCC 10, one of the possible scenarios is a regression in the power management of Linux 5.10 or Intel's Thermald. Ubuntu 21.04 currently is on Linux 5.10 from 5.8 and Thermald 2.4 from 2.3.1. In any case this was just some quick tests prior to sending back the review unit, so as the Ubuntu 21.04 release approaches in two months, I'll be back around with tests on more hardware.
Overall though the Ubuntu 21.04 performance isn't in bad standing if looking at the geometric mean of 223 benchmarks conducted on Ubuntu 21.04 Dev vs 20.10, the overall performance is quite close just with some regressions at least for the moment. This largely jives with what we have been seeing with other x86_64 hardware like shown in yesterday's Ryzen desktop tests.

How to Install Ubuntu on VirtualBox with Ease - WhaTech
Want to test Linux, but don't want to install it traditionally on your computer? You can create a virtual machine with Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution in VirtualBox. Don't know to do it? Check out this post.
Thanks to virtual machines, it is possible to install any operating system, and then run it in a window on our current system. This is facilitated by the VirtualBox program, which allows you to quickly create a virtual machine, allocate part of our computer's resources to it, and then install the system of our choice, e.g. any Linux distribution. When we get bored, the virtual machine can be deleted. This does not affect our current operating system in any way.
