Nope, kwin kicks compiz ass. Bsd still sucks. -
I wonder why wasn't used Kubuntu in place of Ubuntu, it would have been fairer I guess.
More importantly, I think that a test with some games emulated with Wine would have been even more attractive to readers.Comment

Quick! Revolt! It MUST be BSD Troll!! Linux fails at being Linux? WHAT! WTF IM TALKING ABOUT?!Originally posted by Nahemah View Post
Yeah, Linux kicks BSD ass. Deal with it.
Oh don't worry BSD users, you still beat DOS.

The Differences Between Deltas and Feel
FreeBSD always had the best memory management.
The operating system was done right the first time.
Now that Kernel.org is dead and you can't get source code for the Linux kernel from the main channel maybe everybody will start porting drivers to FreeBSD.
The Uningine deltas for 1024/768 look funky.Comment

The above is all your personal opinion, you state no facts in your comment. Please try again.Originally posted by squirrl View PostComment

And where are your supporting facts that my statement was opinionated?Originally posted by Rallos Zek View Post
FreeBSD users and developers know my statement to be factual.Comment

Well that really is dependent on the distro and their implementation of KDE. Using UnredirectFullscreen can effect the end results but it being enabled by default depends on the distro used.Originally posted by kraftman View Post
PS. Why is it gentoor's always think that it will be always the fastest? It's been proven time and time again that there isn't a steady fast rule to that just like there isn't one optimize switch "to rule them all".Comment

Because this happens with every distro, Gentoo is the fastest by a margin of 90%.Originally posted by deanjo View PostComment

I find that people who don't use Gentoo have that impression - no figures behind that statement, just a feeling. It's not the focus of Gentoo to be fast - most of the "speed" comes from there being little clutter and being configured to fit better on a per-usage scenario (even if it takes a little while for the initial setup). There is no generic Gentoo, and it's not useful for benchmarking purposes because of that. Unless running on an Atom - then you really do benefit from gcc knowing that things will be running on an in-order processor.Originally posted by deanjo View PostComment

Indeed, everything and the kitchen sink distros like Ubuntu loads up a ton of stuff by default given that they want to provide needed functionality to a broad range of users, which obviously has an impact on performance and resource usage.Originally posted by mirv View Post
As for this particular test, theoretically it's a very interesting one, but as usual Phoronix botches it by going for another pointless testbed. If you want to test the 3d driver performance between two different platforms, you need to eliminate (as much ass possible) any other intereference. Here Phoronix chooses the exact opposite, distros which come with alot of stuff enabled from the get go (yet are far from comparable) which can skew the results any which way, and even composite effects which are known to interfere greatly with 3d apps. It's like Phoronix isn't even trying...
To do a test between BSD/Linux and NVidia proprietary drivers which would hold any meaning beyond these two particular distros you would need to use the bare minimums needed on each platform in order to get the benchmarks up and running. As it is now, this test proves nothing beyond Ubuntu '11.04 vs FreeBSD 8.2' since there are so many variables in what they ship with/enables by default.
Still, props to Phoronix for doing a 'potentially' very interesting comparison, now can we please have a proper test?Comment
