From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

True, as we just found out, the performance of Meteor Lake is significantly influenced by the BIOS.

What's that supposed to mean?

It's a website that seems to digest other websites and spit them out badly. Here is the original article: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-meteorlake-windows-linux

There was an issue with the BIOS limiting the power available to the processor during benchmarks. It has supposedly been fixed since.

You sure this isn't just anti-rowhammer et al mitigations?
