6. You have a significant lack of data regarding embedded systems, which
is one of the two biggest segments of Linux's market share. You list no
results for any pre-ARMv6 systems (Linux still runs on and is regularly
used on ARMv4 CPU's, and it's worth also pointing out that the values on
the ARMv6 systems are themselves below average), any MIPS systems other
than 24k and 4k (which is not a good representation of modern embedded
usage), any SPARC CPU's other than UltraSPARC (ideally you should have
results on at least a couple of LEON systems as well), no tight-embedded
PPC chips (PPC 440 processors are very widely used, as are the 7xx and
970 families, and Freescale's e series), and only one set of results for
a tight-embedded x86 CPU (the Via Nano, you should ideally also have
results on things like an Intel Quark). Overall, your test system
selection is not entirely representative of actual Linux usage (yeah,
ther'es a lot of x86 servers out there running Linux, there's at least
as many embedded systems running it too though, even without including
Android).
Perfectly valid argument. But I programmed that RNG as a hobby -- I do not
have the funds to buy all devices there are.
I'm not complaining as much about the lack of data for such devices as I
am about you stating that it will work fine for such devices when you
have so little data to support those claims. Many of the devices you
Little data, interesting statement for results on 200+ systems including all
major CPU arches all showing information leading in the same directions.
