Phoronix is straight out amazing, they always cover the latest news about Linux. Whenever I want to get some information about some hardware working with Linux, how the driver state is, I always find information on there, I love it

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Phoronix is a great resource for the Linux community! Pretty much the only benchmark site that does Linux testing. I appreciate Gamers Nexus and other tech YouTubers, but they only ever benchmark on Windows so it's not a good picture of the performance I can actually expect when buying hardware to run on Linux.
Happy birthday and thank you 🎂 🎉
Phoronix has great articles coming from a very knowledgeable and well connected editor. It's also my go-to for any Linux benchmarks of new hardware. Happy birthday!
Pretty cool that it's been around for so long. I post on the forums there occasionally, it's a good site with some interesting discussion and their news articles about Linux are just straight up awesome.
