Vote On A Distribution For Linux Benchmarking

[Panix]

Debian sid. Aren't most distros based on Debian if you compare the numbers? It's used on servers and tweaked and Ubuntu used to be Debian-based.

Since, they use the 'non-free' ethic, any of the tests and configuration would be more useful to the Linux community since people would become more familiar with actually using their OS. I mean, the additional tweaking illustrates the internals and configuration required. Of course, the Ubuntu OOTB convenience is good but Canonical/Ubuntu are going off the road more and more so I'm not sure it's a good pick as the 'official' choice for benchmarking.

Just my two cents.

yeah but waiting for Dota 2 to Que up sucks

This looks cool can we get it on the poll?

Now what do you suppose would happen if we posted something similar on the Ubuntu forums?

those numbers look more realistic

how?

"This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane"

U̶b̶u̶n̶t̶u̶ ̶a̶s̶ Android always is number ONE! U̶b̶u̶n̶t̶u̶ ̶ Android > any o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶ distro. The numbers clearly show but C̶a̶n̶o̶n̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ ̶ Google haters won't accept! They will still push it with their G̶e̶n̶t̶o̶o̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶A̶r̶c̶h̶ ̶L̶i̶n̶u̶x̶ ̶ Microsoft and Apple shit! How does it feel to be shown how wrong you are when it comes to d̶i̶s̶t̶r̶o̶ ̶ OS popularity? Admit defeat once and for all!!!!

Bonus: Check out the first posts on that link about Slackware! That is the very definition of a Stallman nerd living in the basement. Those are the guys.... who are awesome!

Fixed that for you.
