📰 CachyOS Delivers More Performance Out Of Intel Panther Lake Most of my Intel Panther Lake benchmarking over the past two months for the new Core Ultra Series 3 hardware has been done with Ubuntu Linux given the pervasiveness of it, especially in the corporate/enterprise space. But for those looking at achieving even greater out-of-the-box Linux performance on Intel Panther Lake, the Arch Linux based CachyOS does a pretty fine job at further advancing the performance. 🔗 Source: #linux #arch #ubuntu #intel 👉@sysadminoff https://www.phoronix.com/review/cachyos-panther-lake

Windows updates in Intune vs. SCCM patch management—April Fools and human hallucinations On April 1, Microsoft published a TechCommunity blog post explaining how Windows Update management in Intune differs from Configuration Manager (still widely known as SCCM).

That framing is a human hallucination, as Microsoft's post does not announce any changes.
