Why don't they just do that to begin with and not give half-assed data points that don't mean anything? If Linux benchmarks have to be provided, then it better be provided properly, or people will just make another piece of criticism of their benchmarking workflow which will again, just add to the overall workload. It doesn't financially make sense.

Then I will circle back to what has been mentioned before. That is adding a ton of extra unnecessary work. You don't just install and test, you need to validate the data, which requires a lot more extra work being put into it. Frankly, the amount of man hours any of the three (LTT, GN, & J2C) would need to put in, it doesn't look feasible without some form of workflow. On a separate note, Unraid & Synology would do extremely well on LTT because they are made to be consumer ready. This means there isn't a lot of futzing around that needs to be done to get going from 0. If Linux can be like that from the get go and be mainstream (same sense of dominance of RHEL but for consumers, not Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based forks), then there is a great workflow to introduce benchmarking. Have you ever heard of the saying "give an inch and they take a mile"? This is perfectly applicable in this situation as once you start introducing some form of Linux in the benchmarking scene, the loudest minority will DEMAND more distributions be added to the list which will drown out the core audience that watches these videos and alienate them. The big problem with this is if LTT ignores them, the minority gets louder, if LTT listens to them, the minority wants more. There is no good reason to start adding Linux data points without proper validation & a dominant distribution that everyone can hop on-board. Lets face it, Linux will always be fragmented, that fragmentation is the downfall of why Linux is not viable to list for benchmarks. Before you use Phoronix, if you actually look at their benchmarks, they do it from multiple distributions because that is their core focus. It is simply not possible for LTT to incorporate benchmarks from other entities because the workflow isn't similar enough for them to validate the data correctly. Proton is not viable to endorse because it doesn't encompass "gaming" correctly, you are still introducing a layer that doesn't always work reliably from the get-go, it also conflicts with a lot of anti-cheat software and is finicky with multi-player games like the Halo Master Chief Collection.

So what I will say will likely have been already said. I am also quite bad at forming my ideas cohesively, so sorry about that. I am looking at this entirely from a business perspective. Based on current available information, the investment into Linux is not all entirely worth it. LTT will likely have to create a completely separate channel in order to present Linux information which will likely only get a fraction of the subs and views due to Linux information not easily being presentable in an entertaining fashion. This goes back to looking at how LTT puts out and QC's their videos, a ton of unnecessary workload for a small ROI. LTT has once commented on the primary reason for their new Shortcircuit channel as a place to put videos that don't meet the "LTT" gold standard. Another channel would have to be created entirely for the more Linux heavy information as a lot of it is dry. Why bother with that when you could literally just direct the viewers to other more effective channels for this sort of information.

Complaining about GN on an LTT forum, that will totally work.

Canceled my credit card today, new one in a couple of weeks...

The forums are still up, Logan just redirected the IP address for the domain.

@Misanthrope https://churchoflogan.github.io/

Well refreshing the page made me double post....

I think a lot of it has to do with making promises and not keeping it. Like I donated to LTT without many expectations of a return, just a continuation of the content. TekSyndicate promised to bring back content or new content witch raised the expectations of people. Since they didn't deliver, it caused an outrage. This may have been handled better if Logan didn't set any expectations.

Acutally you can visit the ip alone now

by editing the host file (as administrator) at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\

Do this, it will work.

If you directly throw the ip and associate that ip to the forum in the host file it will work.

pls no.

Actually, Logan has control over the domain name. If he was to redirect the domain name traffic, he would of effectively taken down the site for the majority. Wendell hold the TekSyndicate back end, but not the domain. The forum has been up the entire time.
