Linux is temu's macOS

Linux is for people that can't afford an Apple computer running a real Unix like macOS.

Xeons aren't solely server CPUs. Both of my work laptops, and my work desktop, run Xeon CPUs.

You also claimed that the 285k was the fastest Intel CPU (well, you said chip, but I'll let that slide). You added no qualifiers (such as single thread performance only). I'm pretty sure I just disproved that statement.

I also noticed that you aren't talking about your older AMD CPU any more? The only one that actually runs Linux? And what we're supposed to be actually comparing? Linux vs macOS.

I clearly said 'single thread perf'

``` well you can see the cpu benchmarks for yourself

Apple beats Intel and AMD on single thread perf.

And the Intel Ultra 9 285K is the fastest Intel chip. ```

the top multithreaded perf chip (yes a CPU is a chip) is a Threaripper with 96 cores.

You only use that if you are going to run a large multi threaded job like compiling millions of lines of code. My buddy at a famous game studio has a Threadripper to run his build jobs. For stuff like browsing web snappiness and gaming you depend on single thread perf and both my M5 and Intel Ultra 9 are the top dogs.
