* Here's a test of lots of 3D graphics cards from AMD.
* Now let's conduct a large series of 2D tests, all of which are entirely irrelevant for users of 3D graphics cards....
* Conclusion: Could this be the year of linux on the desktop?

The gist of it: 3D capabilities of open source drivers still suck
No shit, did you really think a bunch of neckbeards on their mom's basements could do better than AMD (you know, the people who make the GPU)?
If you look at linux on other areas, yes. Yes, then I think the basement dwellers would do better.

I hope Phoronix tanks, and soon. I prefer my articles in an essay format. For those of you who slept through elementary school, such a format involves an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Crying about how much it cost you to develop an article that people aren't willing to pay for is what losers do. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.
