To see which version of Linux is the quickest, Phoronix has conducted a set of benchmarks measuring the total boot time of 11 Linux distributions.<\/p>\n

The tests also measured the boot time of separate components, such as the loader and kernel of each distribution.<\/p>\n

Systemd benchmark, part of Phoronix Test Suite 7.4.0, was used to benchmark the boot time of the distributions, and the results were published on\u00a0OpenBenchmarking.org<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tests show that the boot time of Linux distributions can vary substantially, with some systems taking over twice as long to boot up as others.<\/p>\n

The quickest boot time result was delivered by Solus 3, which offered the best times across loader, firmware, and userspace tests.<\/p>\n

CentOS Linux 7 offered the best time score in the kernel test, but came last in overall score.<\/p>\n

The benchmark results for the Linux distributions in the comparison are detailed below.<\/p>\n
