Does anyone know where to find some good measurements of performance differences between common distros (with like hardware and config).

I’m interested to see if some perform better than others due to optimization etc

    Do not choose/judge a distribution based on performance benchmarks (this scenario makes them grossly unscientific). More important considerations to measure a distribution are things like development roadmaps, previous history, and philosophy.

    Software considerations like Wayland or Xorg or Linux kernel versions (also whether its a zen kernel or not) are also important. Hardware support depends on how up to date the linux-firmware package of the distro is or if you’re running a libre kernel or not. These are a lot more useful than a vague definition of “performance” which if we take at face value means that only Gentoo would be on top.
