    But is it actually faster? Is it better for my use case (AI, Gaming, programming)?

      It is amazingly resource-friendly and its SMP is being optimized.

      No, for speed and/or gaming, I’d recommend DragonFly BSD (or FreeBSD which has a built-in Linux emulator that could - in theory - run Steam). For development, however, the BSDs are generally quite friendly. Note that the BSDs usually use Clang and a POSIX shell (or tcsh) instead of GCC and bash, so you won’t have GNUisms by default.
