Those initial benchmarks were done with Debian LoongArch64 while since then I&#8217;ve shifted over to using Arch Linux on LoongArch.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=arch-linux-loongarch&#038;image=loongarch_arch_linux_2_med\" alt=\"Loongson 3B6000 LoongArch CPU\"\/><\/p>\n<p>With the Loongson 3B6000 supporting UEFI booting, it was a breeze switching from Debian to Arch Linux on this LoongArch test box provided by the Loongson Hobbyists Community.  Via their hobbyists community&#8217;s OS listing page is a look at the different Linux distributions available for Loongson hardware.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=arch-linux-loongarch&#038;image=loongarch_arch_linux_3_med\" alt=\"Loongson 3B6000 lscpu on Arch Linux\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Arch Linux build for Loong64 booted up just fine on the Loongson-3B6000x1-7A2000x1-EVB and was off to the races.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=arch-linux-loongarch&#038;image=loongarch_arch_linux_4_med\" alt=\"Arch Linux booting on LoongArch\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While testing Arch Linux on LoongArch64 it was using the Linux 6.18 kernel, GCC 15.2.1, Btrfs as the default file-system, and other leading-edge packages. For those curious, in this article are some benchmarks of Arch Linux against Debian on this same Loongson 3B6000 12-core \/ 24-thread system.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" type=\"image\/svg+xml\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/phoronix.com\/benchmark\/result\/debian-archlinux-loongarch-loongson-3b6000\/result.svgz\" alt=\"Debian ArchLinux LoongArch Loongson 3B6000\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Page 1 &#8211; IntroductionPage 2 &#8211; Arch Linux On LoongArch BenchmarksPage 3 &#8211; Arch Linux On LoongArch BenchmarksPage 4 &#8211; Arch Linux On LoongArch Benchmarks<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/review\/arch-linux-loongarch\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arch Linux Running Well On LoongArch &#8211; Loongson 3B6000 Benchmarks Review https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/review\/arch-linux-loongarch Publish Date: 2026-02-12&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":212685,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=arch-linux-loongarch&image=loongarch_arch_linux_1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[99,91,71],"class_list":["post-212684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-arch-linux","tag-debian","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212684"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212684"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":212686,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212684\/revisions\/212686"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
