Phoronix: Phoronix Turns 18 Years Old For Covering Linux Hardware

It was eighteen years ago today that I started Phoronix.com to focus on Linux hardware reviews. Back then it was difficult getting peripherals working under Linux from 56k modems to printers and other components today where Linux support can just be assumed. Open-source graphics drivers back then were also in their infancy and lacking vendor support while NVIDIA was well regarded then for their proprietary driver being at least featureful and performant. It's been quite a journey...

WHAT! You didn't publish on the 20 of May 2012? You'll be damned for this!!!

Your dedication is an example for everybody! We can't be enough thankful to you for your amazing work and what you've done for the FLOSS community during all these years. I hope it will last for at least this century...

I wish you and Phoronix a long and prosper life.

Cheers

Congrats on your 18th birthday, Phoronix! You’re now old enough to buy alcohol (at least where I live), so I’ll toss some beer money into the hat ;-)
