Re: Linux Audio: An overview

[Louigi Verona <louigi.verona@xxxxxxxxx>]

You cannot compare "overview" and "opinion". Doing so would be committing an error of category. An "overview" describes the scope of the article subject.  An "opinion" describes the claim to applicability.

For example, if I would have focused on just one aspect of Linux Audio, say, DAWs, then this would not be an overview of the platform. But the scope of the article is to look at the most important elements of the platform as a whole. Therefore, it is an overview.

If I would have spent enormous amount of time interviewing people in the Linux Audio community, gathered statistics and presented a conclusion based on a very objective, well-balanced process of evaluating data, then this overview would be more than my opinion, it would be more like research, not just opinion.

But in this case I give my perspective. I did not interview other people, I gave an overview based on my own experience. In other words, I am not claiming that this would be true for everyone. I would claim that this would be more or less true for people with the outlook and needs similar to mine.

Hermann, it is both. Overview and opinion are not antipodes :)

Ups, so go on, . . .

Thanks for your answer, . .

Overview < Opinion == ??

        Hey everyone!

        A while back I wrote an article, an overview of Linux Audio.
        Posting it here, just in case people will find it of interest.
        Do read the disclaimer, *this article is but my personal
        opinion ;)

    So what is it, a overview, or, a opinion?
    Smells like political polemic to me :-(

    Note, I haven't read your article, it's just your announcement
    which makes me stumbled.
