would the performance be huge and be very awesome?? if i had a computer with the latest amd ryzen chip and with 4tb of ssd and 16gb of ram and installed lubuntu on it, what would happen?
has anyone ever tried this??
You have to think in terms of bottleneck. If you have a really heavy desktop environment or operating system, then it can (and will) slow down older and weak computers. For those, it makes sense to install some special prepared environments, so it does not slow them down. If you have a modern and fast computer with plenty of resources, then it won't make a difference which you install.
In example, you have 16gb RAM, but your system uses only 4gb. Switching to a system that uses only 2gb won't get you any benefit, you have plenty of room that is unused. And for all other daily operations in the Window environment, lets say opening and closing windows with some effects and transparency, would lets say for fun require 1ghz of CPU to calculate without slowing the operation down. If you have a modern multicore CPU with 5ghz, then you don't win anything by installing a desktop environment or operating system that makes use of only 0.5ghz.

Why would you call that "powerful"?
I mean, going by wikipedia the latest (desktop) ryzen cpu released was the 9950X3D...i'd personally tag that as powerful.
everybody has their subjective scale of power i suppose.
The server CPU's are called epyc and they are powerful, but not in the same way.
Server CPU's are geared to different types of workloads but if you built a desktop workstation with decent one it would be still be a beast.
I wasn't arguing that the server CPU's aren't powerful, i was saying that the latest ryzen desktop cpu was something I'd personally consider to also be powerful.
The threadrippers are also up there in terms of power, but the OP was specifically talking about ryzen.
No. Lubuntu is designed to use very little resources which makes it faster on slow hardware where the os is a lot of the load. If you have fast hardware, regular Ubuntu might use (making this up but the point generally stands) 2%CPU and 3G of RAM and lubuntu would use 1%CPU and 2G of RAM. That would be a much larger boost if you have a much weaker CPU and only 4G of RAM, but you likely wouldn't notice a difference on fast hardware.
Edit: spelling
https://friendica.eskimo.com/ runs on an I9-10980xe (18 core / 36 thread) clocked at 4.5Ghz with 256GB of RAM, 29TB of raid 1 disk space (three RAID partitions, two nvme1G raided, and two partitions of two 14TB each raided). It runs great with 6.14 kernels. I was less satisfied with the task switching on earlier kernels, it typically runs with around 1000 processes. I run non-preemptive tickless kernels.
No. No-one has ever tried installing Linux on a powerful computer. All the supercomputers run Windows - the attempt at Hackintosh didn't take - and are having a tough time meeting the TPM criteria for Win11.
You will be the very first. The world is counting on you.
