This looks amazing Jerry. Any comment about the age verification mess?

 I tested this new option we have since 8.0.
1. Amazing graphics. the generated images look simply beautiful. Some of them, I enjoyed beyond words. 
Surprisingly, given the low specs of my machine versus a gaming one and obviously, the age of the system (2017)!
2. Some improvements (or... How to...).
2.1. GPUDB. I like very much the idea behind Lite HWDB. The code behind this report utility, allows posting the results on the Lite HWDB in a single step.
Now given the huge amount of graphic options and the various possible configurations, I wonder if it is possible to add the results of the test to a similar database. This would help lots of people to find out the range of applications that are capable of running on a given configuration.
On Lite HWDB, we can see if a certain version can run acceptably on a certain machine.
Still, this gives a low amount of info regarding the video limits. Specifically, what software is capable of running, given a certain video combination GPU/CPU and drivers. 
My question is: Can the result of the test be uploaded on a similar DB? and if so, how? 
2.2. Text color on Lite Kernel Manager.
The text color of the buttons, is a pale gray shade. Barely visible. At my age, I need glasses and even so, this is some 95% guesswork.
Can you change the text color (black) and maybe add a Bold to the font attributes so it can be "striking" visible?
I doubt I belong to a minority of "overaged" users.

3.2 The video test.

Lite Kernel Manager GPU test:
2026-09-21 13:38 (Bucharest hour, UTC+3)
7.0.0-linuxlite
GPU Score: 928 glmark2 points = Fair
Scheduler Latency 999 microseconds (max) = Fair
GPU Performance: 928 / 40000
Scheduler Responsiveness: 80%

Relevance.
I sill need to run the test on a different machine (Laptop, ASUS M415U + Radeon) to get at least a second set of values in order to figure out what this score means from the practical perspective.
I'll get back with the data when the test is done.

Best regards!

The approach here with the Benchmarking is completely different to the HWDB. I want this to be a fun 'run and compare' with your friends and family and other Forums/Linux community people. The HWDB has it's purpose and it's well known, the Benchmark Database name itself may infer a similar purpose to the HWDB, I'm open to a better name than 'Database' for it.
