So what, if the voters read them?
If you want more installs, more users, you have to consider those sites.
Do you have a source that backs your claim that Phoronix has a measurable impact on the users' decisions to install a certain Linux distribution?
Just what users tells me in conversations. But I'll find some for you. One source: <https://www.muylinux.com/tag/phoronix-test-suite/> «Aunque no lo parezca, Phoronix Test Suite es uno de los software con más repercusión dentro del mundillo GNU/Linux, sobre todo porque las pruebas que realiza con él Michael Larabel se han convertido en una de la grandes referencias para tener datos de rendimiento, más en los últimos tiempos, en los que se compara el rendimiento gráfico del sistema Open Source y de Windows, ya sea a nivel de escritorio o bien ejecutando juegos.» Automated translation: Although it may not seem so, Phoronix Test Suite is one of the software with the most repercussion within the GNU/Linux world, especially because the tests that Michael Larabel carries out with it have become one of the great references to have performance data, more recently, in which the graphic performance of the Open Source system and Windows is compared, either at the desktop level or running games. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoronix_Test_Suite> «Phoronix Test Suite (PTS) is a free, open-source benchmark software for Linux and other operating systems which is developed by Phoronix Media with cooperation from an undisclosed number of hardware and software vendors. The Phoronix Test Suite has been endorsed by sites such as Linux.com,[2] LinuxPlanet[3] and has been called "the best benchmarking platform" by Softpedia.[4] The Phoronix Test Suite is also used by Tom's Hardware,[5] ASELabs[6] and other review sites. » Look, Ubuntu ships the Phoronics test suite... <https://elpuig.xeill.net/Members/vcarceler/articulos/tests-con-phoronix-test-suit-y-openbenchmarking.org> <https://hipertextual.com/2018/02/rendimiento-pc-benchmark-phoronix-test-suite> «Tanto Windows como macOS y Linux cuentan con herramientas propias para ello, pero como hemos visto en otra ocasión, hay herramientas de benchmark muy buenas para saber si tu hardware rinde como es debido y si podrá ejecutar los programas y juegos más exigentes. Una de las herramientas de testeo más populares es Phoronix Test Suite, disponible para la mayoría de plataformas y que sirve para ejecutar una batería de pruebas, monitorizar el comportamiento de tu computadora y darte los resultados al detalle.» Automated translation: Windows as well as MacOS and Linux have their own tools for this, but as we have seen on another occasion, there are very good benchmark tools to know if your hardware is performing properly and if you will be able to run the most demanding programs and games. One of the most popular testing tools is Phoronix Test Suite, available for most platforms and that serves to run a battery of tests, monitor the behavior of your computer and give you the results in detail. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator <https://elpuig.xeill.net/Members/vcarceler/articulos/tests-con-phoronix-test-suit-y-openbenchmarking.org> «Cuando se desea comparar el rendimiento de diferentes equipos y/o configuraciones es necesario realizar tests. Y aunque hay muchas maneras de realizar tests, resulta conveniente tener una herramienta que permita ejecutar de forma automática los tests seleccionados de una batería estandard. Si además los resultados de estas pruebas se pueden guardar en la nube para poderlos comparar, pues mejor todavía. Así que justamente con esta función voy a presentar dos magníficas herramientas: Phoronix Test Suite: Una herramienta que permite descargar y ejecutar tests de manera automática. OpenBenchmarking.org: Una web en la que se pueden subir los resultados de los tests para su almacenado y posterior análisis.» Automated translation: «When you want to compare the performance of different equipment and/or configurations it is necessary to perform tests. And although there are many ways to perform tests, it is convenient to have a tool that allows to run automatically the selected tests of a standard battery. If in addition the results of these tests can be saved in the cloud for comparison, then even better. So with this function I am going to present two excellent tools: Phoronix Test Suite: A tool that allows you to download and run tests automatically. OpenBenchmarking.org: A website where you can upload test results for storage and analysis.» -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
