Powerful hardware, modern and new operating system are nothing when those components are not properly configured. Best practices which published by vendors, helping us to achieved good performance and reduce issues but best practices are general and may be not tested on specific hardware.

Finding best configurations and best practices on each platform needs some difficult tests and needs to spend money. But some vendors published their best practices on specific hardware.

In my opinion, finding best practices is very important on Linux, because it’s more flexible compare to Windows and best configuration will achieved best performance.
