My articles are published by an outlet which puts them in front of the eyes of millions. I get so many internet randos telling me I am wrong every day that if I even attempted to track them all I'd go insane.

No, I do not remember. I do not even try. The people with the abusive responses, the ones who use obviously-fake names, the ones who mock and belittle, are the ones who get the least attention.

The people who provide a real name, who engage, who provide citations and evidence, those I pay a little more attention to. You do none of these.

You just rant at me, and what you say doesn't add up. If you'd tried BeOS on x86 and you actually remembered, then you would see that any and all modern Linux distros are giant sluggish lumbering things which need trillions of CPU cycles before they even display a busy indicator.

So, no, I do not think you are serious or credible. All you do is go "it works for me" and "computer go brrrrrrr lol" and this is not worthy of the reply I just wasted a few minutes on replying to.

Apart from your repeated rants about the trauma you have suffered from early BTRFS, which goes against my (later) experience with it, and therfore against my grain, your comparison of the speeds of various distros triggered me the same way.

> If you'd tried BeOS on x86 and you actually remembered,...

I did, and I do remember. It was exceptional at its time, but more or less useless, depending on your needs, and availability of applications. On contemporary hardware Haiku isn't that exceptional anymore. Maybe it could, if it had drivers which would actually make full use of the underlying hardware capabilities. However, the beta isn't usable as daily driver, at least not for me. I could make better use of even Genode. I'm not pulling that out of my ass, I actually tried, and compared. For several days, each.

How long do you evaluate and compare?

Yes. Because it did, from the beginning. Feeling like a revelation comparable to the one you hold high so much. That Beos-thing during its time. Except I'm having way more available applications, and no crashes.

Now what?

You probably going to continue distro-DJing in virtual machines, thinking that would mean something?

How should I provide evidence, when much of what I did is deeply NDAed(nothing about Cachy, more like firmware, toolchains, optimization), 'otherwise unavailable', or would lead to doxxing myself? (Which I don't really fancy).

Streaming on YT, Twitch, whatever, doing a systems walkthrough, running Phoronix testsuite, or SPEC with overlayed Gamescope?

That will never ever happen.

Neither public source repositories(of mine).

Or Blogs.
