Phoronix forums have got to be the most hateful threads I have come across in the Linux community. It's sad because the articles really helped me get into and understand the ecosystem
The Phoronix comment section has always been kinda shit. Maybe one in every thousand posts will contain anything of value (in most cases a comment by a developer telling the peanut gallery why they're wrong).
Wow, you're right. I can't believe I forgot about that era, when you could expect to see John Bridgman providing insight in every thread under AMDGPU news.
