Honestly, the most wrong thing about Phoronix is that there are people who take its "benchmarks" and their results seriously. Please don't be one of them.
But that's it, that people read those benchmarks and don't listen to their critics.
Which leads to two possible ways of handling it: 1) Try to jump on every discussion where Leap, Tumbleweed or whatever openSUSE "product" is benchmarked wrong. 2) Try to tell everyone what's cool, handy and impressive about the openSUSE stuff.
Both ways are legit imho. But I know which one I'd choose - for the sake of my mind and mental sanity. ;)
There is another way, but you will not like it. It is what the car industry in Europe does. There is an standardized test that measures mileage (NEDC, now WLTP). Well, the cars are optimized for that test. The "real" mileage might be different, usually worse, but the figure that is printed and which buyers use, is the one from the standardized test. We could have the installed system "next next next" faster, for instance. I do not know if this is good, probably not. I'm not sure if this phoronix test is what critics use to say "openSUSE is slow". If it is, it does not matter if the test is rubbish. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
