Intel's Linux OpenGL Driver Faster Than Apple's OS X Driver

An anonymous reader writes "The open-source Intel Linux graphics driver has hit a milestone of now being faster than Apple's own OpenGL stack on OS X. The Intel Linux driver on Ubuntu 13.04 is now clearly faster than Apple's internally-developed Intel OpenGL driver on OS X 10.8.3. when benchmarked from a 'Sandy Bridge' class Mac Mini. Only some months ago, Apple's GL driver was still trouncing the Intel Linux Mesa driver."

    snarkay! Well, if you want to compare windows and gnu/linux, then windows really comes off badly by that comparison. If you want to compare GUIs, Gnome 3 is almost as icky as Win8 and Metro, but MS wins the Loserville medal on that too. Why don't you have the balls to say what you want without your cowardice and anonymity? Is it because you're so wrong? You are. That's it!

    He didn't compare it to anything asshole. He just asked a question - an admittedly troll like one, but you fell for it and went all windows on him didn't you? The real reason people are uncomfortable with Linux is because using it means you are probably surrounded by other people using it, and that means 1 out of 10 are douche bags like you.
    I thought about not posting this comment - but only for a minute.
