Because Ubuntu is where I typically test against given its marketshare and enterprise use/support. And what I typically test against for my Windows vs. (Ubuntu) Linux comparisons. If going for CachyOS or Arch Linux because it's "faster" would conceal the fact that Ubuntu Linux is typically faster than Windows 11 but on this system at least is not.

Unfortunately, I don't have any added insight/hypothesis besides maybe something power managemen beyond what was detailed in the article... Lenovo and Intel believe it's inline with expectations and they used various internal tools and what not but hadn't provided me with any detailed data on everything they checked or any own internal numbers. SO I don't really have anything else to add there.

But it doesn't align with the last 12~20 laptops I've tested between Ubuntu Linux and Windows out-of-the-box where if loading up say V-RAY, IndigoBench, Blender, etc, and using the official binaries on each platform, Linux has typically always dominated in said workloads for both AMD and Intel laptops. So something isn't aligning quite right there with this ThinkPad versus all the other hardware I have tested with Windows vs. Linux.

I haven't gotten around to trying it but it's on my TODO list if having the time before needing to send the review unit back (likely next week or so I'd expect)

Right, unfortunately, was limited by the laptops I have on-hand for (re)testing... With routinely re-testing all laptops fresh, in this case on Ubuntu 25.04, not able to compare to prior dGPU-enabled laptops that since had to be returned to vendors, etc.

There is (unofficial) ROCm support for Strix Halo with ROCm 6.4.1. But like Llama.cpp and such were seg faulting but ROCR-based OpenCL was working and other workloads.

Titan V wasn't included since I never ended up receiving any Titan V review sample back in the day. :/

There is some perf-per-Watt data in there plus my other Battlemage Linux review out today. I'll also have more data in another article Friday~Monday.
