# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `GoWR Pika OS LAVD 6.11.7-pikaos` with an average FPS approximately 11% higher than the other run. * **Smoothest FPS**: `GoWR Cachy OS LAVD 6.11.7` with significantly lower standard deviation and variance, indicating much smoother performance. * **Best overall**: `GoWR Cachy OS LAVD 6.11.7`, balancing reasonably high FPS with the best smoothness/stability among the runs. # Issues: * The GPU load on the Pika OS configuration was significantly more variable, with a much higher standard deviation compared to the Cachy OS run. This could affect the consistency of GPU performance. * The RAM usage in the Pika OS run was notably higher, which could be a bottleneck or lead to instability in memory-intensive scenarios, especially given the slight variance. # Summary In comparing the `CachyOS` and `PikaOS` operating systems running on the same hardware and using the `LAVD 6.11.7` kernel version, the results highlighted differences primarily in performance smoothness and resource usage. While both setups delivered impressive average FPS due to the use of the `performance` scheduler, the `CachyOS` configuration demonstrated superior frame consistency with notably lower variability, contributing to a smoother gaming experience. The `PikaOS` setup achieved higher peak and average FPS, but at the cost of increased variance, indicating occasional frame drops or spikes. Therefore, for those prioritizing steady gameplay without stutters, `CachyOS` is preferable, while `PikaOS` may suit those chasing raw frame rates but can tolerate some fluctuation.
