    I Am Not Clueless Myths and Misconceptions About the Design Of

    I am not clueless or Myths and misconceptions about the design of GoboLinux Hisham H. Muhammad April 11, 2017 “Those who do not understand Unix are doomed to reinvent it, poorly.” – Henry Spencer, 1987 This week we had another release of GoboLinux, and again a number of people, even if indirectly, called me “clueless” for coming up with such a structure for a Linux distribution, for a number of reasons. None of those reasons was new; I heard all of them many times. This article is an attempt to sum them up, and explain why I chose the design decisions I made, hopefully clearing any pending misconceptions. I don’t have illusion this will prevent them keep happening, but at least I’ll have a text to point people to. This article ranges from common misconceptions from those who have never used GoboLinux, to well-intentioned but poorly-thought-out ideas that keep coming from time to time to the GoboLinux mailing list, often causing long debates. I’ll be separating the points in sections and they are meant to be self-contained, so feel free to skip directly to the ones that interest you, if you don’t feel like reading the whole thing. “There is a reason why things are the way they are” This is something I hear constantly, often followed by an explanation about the difference between /, /usr and /usr/local, and/or /bin and /sbin. I do understand the difference1. If I did away with this three-level distinction, is because I believe there are other ways to approach the problems this distinction tries to solve.

  • What Are the Problems with Embedded Linux?

    What Are the Problems with Embedded Linux?

    What Are the Problems with Embedded Linux? Every Operating System Has Benefits and Drawbacks Linux is ubiquitous. It runs most internet servers, is inside Android* smartphones, and is used on millions of embedded systems that, in the past, ran Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOSes). Linux can (and should) be used were possible for embedded projects, but while it gives you extreme choice, it also presents the risk of extreme complexity. What, then, are the trade-offs between embedded Linux and an RTOS? In this article, we cover some key considerations when evaluating Linux for a new development: ■ Design your system architecture first ■ What is Linux? ■ Linux vs. RTOSes ■ Free software is about liberty—not price ■ How much does Embedded Linux cost? ■ Why pay for Embedded Linux? ■ Should you buy Embedded Linux or roll-your-own (RYO)? ■ To fork or not to fork? ■ Software patching ■ Open source licensing ■ Making an informed decision The important thing is not whether Linux or an RTOS is “the best,” but whether either operating system—or both together—makes the most technical and financial sense for your project. We hope this article helps you make an informed decision. Design Your System Architecture First It is important to design your system architecture first—before choosing either Linux or an RTOS—because both choices can limit architectural freedom. You may discover that aspects of your design require neither Linux nor an RTOS, making your design a strong candidate for a heterogeneous approach that includes one or more bare-metal environments (with possibly a Linux and/or RTOS environment as well).

  • KDE Free Qt Foundation Strengthens Qt

    KDE Free Qt Foundation Strengthens Qt

    How the KDE Free Qt Foundation strengthens Qt by Olaf Schmidt-Wischhöfer (board member of the foundation)1, December 2019 Executive summary The development framework Qt is available both as Open Source and under paid license terms. Two decades ago, when Qt 2.0 was first released as Open Source, this was excep- tional. Today, most popular developing frameworks are Free/Open Source Software2. Without the dual licensing approach, Qt would not exist today as a popular high-quality framework. There is another aspect of Qt licensing which is still very exceptional today, and which is not as well-known as it ought to be. The Open Source availability of Qt is legally protected through the by-laws and contracts of a foundation. 1 I thank Eike Hein, board member of KDE e.V., for contributing. 2 I use the terms “Open Source” and “Free Software” interchangeably here. Both have a long history, and the exact differences between them do not matter for the purposes of this text. How the KDE Free Qt Foundation strengthens Qt 2 / 19 The KDE Free Qt Foundation was created in 1998 and guarantees the continued availabil- ity of Qt as Free/Open Source Software3. When it was set up, Qt was developed by Troll- tech, its original company. The foundation supported Qt through the transitions first to Nokia and then to Digia and to The Qt Company. In case The Qt Company would ever attempt to close down Open Source Qt, the founda- tion is entitled to publish Qt under the BSD license. This notable legal guarantee strengthens Qt.
