Back to Benchmarking
🕑 Added 2021-04-10 02:33:37 +0000 UTCWOW this video was a lot of work to make. I underestimated this one on so many levels, it's just crazy. I seriously thought this video would be a piece of cake to make 😅
Out of all the videos I've produced, the earliest that is most similar to this one is probably this one from 2015. It even has some live action stuff too! I still remember filming that intro scene. It took a dozen takes to get the lighting right.
It took about 2 weeks to produce this video and I feel like I made a ton of mistakes along the way. Tons of lessons learned too, especially around munging the data together to look right in graphics for the video.
The automation I wrote for the tests is kinda crappy and I'm going to rewrite it with Salt for the next video. There was also so much manual "find-and-replace" for the results tables and graphs that it made my head spin.
Phoronix Test Suite is a really solid tool but it let's the distros report their own data and each reports things differently so when you compare distros, you end up with tables of just... basically nonsense.
I'm considering getting a mini-pc specifically for benchmarking, preferably a similar spec'd AMD to compete with Terryza every now and then.
Despite being an absolute bear, this video was really fun to make and I hope you guys are excited for a lot more like it!

Mini PC sounds like a good idea
