The TUXEDO OS testing was done using a TUXEDO Aura 15 Gen2 review sample kindly provided by TUXEDO Computers. This Linux laptop is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with integrated Radeon (Vega) graphics, 16GB of system RAM, Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB NVMe SSD, and a 1080p display.

The Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, TUXEDO OS, and TUXEDO OS 2 Preview performance was compared on the same TUXEDO Aura 15 Gen2 laptop when freshly installed each time and running at thr OS defaults.

For the most part the TUXEDO OS 2 performance was very similar to TUXEDO OS 1. In a few benchmarks there was slightly better performance with TUXEDO OS 2 Preview, likely due to the newer Linux 6.0 kernel once carrying out the software upgrades.

As shown in last year's TUXEDO OS initial testing, TUXEDO OS does perform better than Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS for a variety of workloads. Among the kernel differences compared to upstream Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS is TUXEDO OS using amd-pstate with the ondemand governor rather than the "schedutil" governor by default on Ubuntu that is still problematic for some workloads.
