I don't believe that you're being overly harsh. I've been surprised in general in the amount of "whining" that I've been reading in this thread. Phoronix is the only one that's doing benchmarks of the various distributions and major parts. I suppose that I should use the Anandtech and Tom's Hardware reviews that are all done using Windows to see how well the competing hardware stacks up against each another. As far as I can tell, the code for the Phoronix benchmark suite is open source so it's open for others to look at for methodology and potential improvement. Someone could use the existing Phoronix suite to create a benchmark that's specific to fedora that has the seal of approval from the community. The complaint about comparing the opensource video drivers versus the proprietary ones baffles me. It's the only place that I can go to see what's happening from a perforamance perspective. While the opensource driver is usable on some hardware, the performance/capabilities for newer hardware still doesn't match the proprietary. That does matter for those that need it. I'm just waiting for someone to request permission to change the user agreement to disallow the usage of the Fedora name in benchmarks. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
