  To setup the phoronix test suite:

  I would be shocked if they weren't using a test suite, especially given all the platforms and devices Linux supports. POSIX has a test suite, and there are several Linux test suites [1], [2]. Although, I would think that an architecture port is fairly straightforward. It's reverse-engineering and writing all the device drivers, but devices generally have a well-known interface (and, therefore, presumably tests). The OpenGL drivers are being tested against the official OpenGL test suite.

  Of course, there are no guarantees that it runs correctly. Probably doesn't, given that even Apple and Microsoft's software don't run correctly, either. But saying software doesn't run perfectly in all cases is almost tautological.

  I think they do a lot of good stuff, like LTO and PGO.

  But in benchmarks you sometimes see like a 4x speedup compared to ubuntu, which is obviously not due to superior compilers.

  For example:

  phoronix test suite has a benchmark for pretty much everything

• Looking for some comparison on build times on recent GCC versions.

  I think you can use the Phoronix Test Suite for build time bench mark testing

• LTO and CFLAGS benchmarking ideas

  But I have no clue what could I use for actual benchmarking part. I know about Phoronix Test Suite, but from what I can tell, it’s designed to compile the tested software on its own, ignoring the pre-installed software—see Q: Why does the Phoronix Test Suite not use my distribution's package management system for acquiring all needed packages?:

• When running the phoronix test, it keeps opening on my 2nd monitor, not on my primary monitor
  1 project | /r/xfce | 13 Jan 2023

  Using the phoronix test suite when I attempt to run it on my Linux machine, it opens the game in full screen on the 2nd monitor.
