woelkchen, 9 months ago I support linking the original site as a general rule, but I don’t think GamingOnLinux is blog spam. GamingOnLinux is the OMG!Ubuntu of Linux gaming, a website several link aggregators rightfully banned. He curates information from a variety of places, provides a quick accessible summary, and very clearly links back to the article he’s referencing. GOL does less summarizing of hard to read sources than Phoronix and even Phoronix is questionable lots of times. If GOL does some original reporting: Fine. If GOL summarizes discussions from bug trackers and mailing lists: Fine. If GOL just rewords content that right there in the original source: Blog spam. In this specific case, his table of specs is far more readable and accessible than the obnoxious advertising product page is. I see no problem with starlabs.systems/pages/starlite-specification which is accessible from the hard to miss drop down menu at the top.
