Vote On A Distribution For Linux Benchmarking

Opensource drivers are much faster with Fedora than with Ubuntu, gesundheit!

I wouldn't know, I use nvidia blob.

Oh! In that case, if phoronix really want's to see itself as primarily a gaming site, I can only agree it should use ubuntu. And for the sake of efficiency, it'd be best to forget that anything else beyond ubuntu even exists.

Oh well, in the end it doesn't really matter to me. The site belongs to Michael and he can do whatever he wants with it.

It's just amusing that your data shows Ubuntu being the most popular. I thought you were trying to prove the opposite.

no not really Ubuntu's is not even 1/2 of Linux Users....


Linux x86.64 Other 1,473 M 0.66%
Linux i686 Other 618 M 0.28%
Linux i686 Ubuntu 556 M 0.25%
Linux x86.64 Ubuntu 510 M 0.23%
Linux Other 75.4 M 0.03%
FreeBSD 34.4 M 0.02%

GNU Linux Hold's 9.7% on this one

Linux 13.6 %
Ubuntu 1.7 %
Suse 0.2 %
Red Hat 0.4 %
Fedora 0.3 %
Debian 0.1 %
Centos 0.3 %
Google Android 0.5 %
GNU Linux (Unknown or unspecified distribution) 9.7 %

many many Linux's was unspecified befor the Steam for Linux Days

Where are you pulling these numbers from...your ass?

Manjaro is fully compatible with Archlinux, and take no long to setup for benchmarking.

I have nothing against Manjaro, but I have something against the poll choice showing Manjaro/Arch, when in reality it should be Manjaro only. I'm sure there are plenty of misled Archers that vote for it just because they see "Arch" written near it.

If I'm not mistaken, these are Wikimedia statistics.

the Manjaro/Arch thing was a bad call
on the statistics yes the top one was, the 2ed one was from a ProUbuntu poster but he failed to show that Ubuntu was only at 1% of Linux Users on his statistics, i seen many statistics and, i can say all of them are crap as for the Steam statistics they're unknown do to Wine... maybe thats why we keep seeing more and more Vista users pop up?

And even then 1% isn't accurate considering that of the Ubuntu derivatives I know about, only Kubuntu and Linux Mint have changed the name string so they show as Kubuntu and Linux Mint respectfully on statistics (such as Steam hardware survey), whereas Xubuntu/Lubuntu/Otherbuntu show as Ubuntu.

Also as for Wine, I'm not sure what Wine would register as. I'm under assumption that the different Windows versions in Wine will register as their respective Windows version (XP is XP, Vista Vista, etc).

Phoronix Media is the largest Internet media company devoted to enriching the Linux hardware experience and catering its content to Linux gamers and computer enthusiasts. Its properties primarily focus on Linux hardware reviews, software previews, community technical discussions, and other technology related topics. Phoronix Media also backs a free software repository and the leading open-source Linux benchmarking software.

As I said, gaming is not a primary thing for Phoronix. Learn to quote properly (read: in context), otherwise people might think you are deliberately trolling.

Yes, because people don't look at hardware benchmarks on Linux for pure compiling (especially when it comes to GRAPHICS CARDS) especially considering that most of the hardware (and software ie; drivers) benchmarks are tested against GAMES first and foremost.
