said by darthanubis:Yeah, screw that guy for being a capitalist and doing what everyone else does. All his tests be damned. Even if the test are flawed he is bringing attention to "All things Linux".
Ninety percent of these replies are OT.
Attack the methodology of his tests, not the person.
If you have nothing to add regarding the test. Why post? People will still visit the site regardless of how some feel.
I was accused of having an agenda. While that was a direct attack on me, without basis, it was allowed to stand.
What is the agenda of those who wish to attack the messengers of this article?
Christ, all I did was drop a link I though would be fuel for intellectually honest discussion. Had I known it was going to elicit this nonsense, I'd have passed.
There obviously won't be a discussion on this thread, just tin foil nuttery, and finger pointing, so just lock the thread already.
Cheers!
I've personally pointed out flaws in his methodology to him directly on his forums, he doesn't care, he is only looking for a quick advertising buck.
Attack the messenger because Larabel is doing a disservice to the Linux community with his extremely low quality of testing, writing and constant smearing of hardware companies for "attacking open source" when it's clear from the article the only person he's talked to is some first tier outsourced phone service "tech" that everyone gets when they call the tech support number for any company.
His blatant fanboisim for Valve and Unigine, completely ignoring games from other companies unless they are major announcements like something from DoubleFine. Completely ignoring the other gaming services for Linux like Desura and Gamolith, even though Desura still to this day has a larger library of Linux titles, it even has "AAA" games like the Fallout series preFallout 3.
You want ad hit whoring? Look up the once a month every month for 3 years of "STEAM FOR LINUX WILL BE OUT THIS WEEK!!!" articles even at a point when
Valve staff was saying in interviews that there wouldn't be any Steam for Linux, it seems to only be a decision made after it started looking like Microsoft and Apple where going to start their own stores and force them out of the market so they had to do something to head them off.
