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.

Not sure what called for this blatant personal attack. My post history speaks for itself, quite in comparison to yours. And Phoronix is well-known Linux website, and its test suite is in fact even referenced in various regression tests/patches in LKML (also not sure what/if any kind of kernel development you have done).
Mister, I was joking. The website is indeed sus (and the popularity is not a good defense for it) but it doesn't mean you are. It's just an interesting coincidence of a sus website and a sus number. That's it
Well, if you have a constructive suggestion which site to link instead regarding kernel developments, I am all ears:
Well since kernel development is one of the harder topics in the whole IT industry, it's understandable that the websites that make news about it do need to use privacy invasive ways to earn money (whether it's a paywall or an extremely invasive data collection) because the audience is stable and extremely small. But it does not make them safe in any way. They're still sus in terms of privacy (which is what I meant). I'm far far away from anything like kernel development so I can't suggest anything related to it unfortunately. I think it will be the best choice to admit that my sense of humour, as well as my communication abilities, is far from being decent enough not to create misunderstandings, suspicions and double meanings like in this case, and end this discussion. Almost all the arguments on the internet only spread hate and aggression anyways and I don't want that (you were not aggressive though)
As a fellow poor communicator, I just want to say that I appreciate your self-awareness.
Thank you, mister. Though after looking at your post history I can say that your communication ability is 1000% better than mine
