All Rights Reserved ®. ! Unlike Windows and macOS users, most Linux users build their own computers and throw Linux on them. Despite its growing popularity, especially among system administrators and server buffs, Linux hasn’t entered mainstream computers. But you can buy computers with Linux pre-installed! While pre-built Linux machines are a rarity, they’re not completely non-existent. While installing a Linux operating system is easy, buying a purpose-built Linux PC provides perks such as guaranteed support, reliability, and an excellent out-of-the-box experience. This article covers some of the best Linux PCs available — and why you need one. Why Buy a Linux Desktop or Laptop? If you’re familiar with Linux you might be wondering why anyone would buy a Linux PC. After all, building a PC and installing Linux is fairly easy. And you can always dual boot, although dual- booting isn’t problem-free. The reason is pretty simple: Linux isn’t beginner friendly. Sure, there are several distributions perfect for anyone switching from Windows or macOS. However, using Linux on Apple hardware is a bit different than traditional PC hardware. And installs sometimes require a good deal of tweaks. Buying a pre-built Linux PC comes with support. A pre-built machine isn’t just useful for individuals — it’s essential for an enterprise environment. On top of that, buying a Linux computer saves time. You forgo the installation process and get a machine that just works. If you’re wondering why to even use Linux, here are five great uses even if you’re a Windows user. Reasons to buy a Linux PC: • Support options • Excellent out-of-the-box experience • Good for beginners to Linux and PC hardware • Malware immunity Copyright © 2017 MakeUseOf. All Rights Reserved ®. ! Best Budget Linux Laptops System76 Lemur ($699) Watch the YouTube video here: System76 Lemur | Review System76 is arguably the most well-known Linux PC manufacturer. Their hardware and software excel. Its entry-level Lemur might have a modest price point but it doesn’t skimp on features. The System76 Lemur boasts a 14.1-inch 1080p IPS display and a 7th generation Intel Kaby Lake processor; you can snag a Lemur with an i3 or i7. A thin and light laptop, the Lemur comes with either Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or Ubuntu 16.10. It’s available with Intel HD 620 graphics, up to 32 GB of RAM, and as high at 5 TB of storage. Wired allows that while the Lemur comes preloaded with Ubuntu, the hardware is compatible with a bevy of Linux operating systems including Fedora, Mint, and Debian. Furthermore, Wired praises System76 support. Jack Wallen over at TechRepublic commented on the small size and solid keyboard, as well as superb out of the box experience. The Linux Gamer, helping to correct the false notion that Linux gaming is an oxymoron, adds that leaving the F-row as F keys is great particularly for working in terminal apps. However, there’s no LED caps lock indicator. Moreover, the power adapter is a 90-degree angle. This tends to catch objects or occasionally obscure the HDMI port. Additionally, The Linux Gamer found that certain components like the trackpad have difficulty after putting the computer to sleep. But this is likely an Ubuntu issue, and not unique to the Lemur. You may also consider the thin and light ZaReason UltraLap 5330. Similarly specced and priced, the UltraLap 5330 offers more operating system choices including OpenSUSE and Cinnamon. Copyright © 2017 MakeUseOf. All Rights Reserved ®. ! With its superb battery life, light weight, and slim form factor, budget price, and premium specs, the System76 Lemur delivers the best price-to-performance ratio among Linux laptops. Pros • 7th gen Intel i3-7100U or i7-7500U • 14-inch 1080p IPS matte display • Up to 32 GB RAM • As high as 5 TB storage • Excellent keyboard • Great battery life • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or Ubuntu 16.10 • Runs other distros well Cons • Awkward charging cable • No LED caps lock indicator Copyright © 2017 MakeUseOf. All Rights Reserved ®. ! Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition ($949) Image Credit: Dell Dude, you’re getting a Dell Linux laptop. Yes, Dell, the mainstream PC manufacturer makes a Linux version of its XPS 13. We reviewed the XPS 13. Not surprisingly, the Developer Edition addendum to its name indicates the target audience. The XPS 13 sports Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and a 7th generation Intel processor. Depending on the model, Dell’s XPS 13 comes outfitted with an i5-7200U or i7-7500U. It comes in a small form factor with up to a 13-inch 3200 x 1800 “borderless” InfinityEdge touch display. Onboard you’ll find either an 8 GB RAM and 128 GB SSD combo on the i5 or 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD with the i7. Copyright © 2017 MakeUseOf. All Rights Reserved ®. ! Network World praised the i7 Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition. Notably, Network World found that while the XPS 13 ships with Ubuntu 16.04, most other distros run incredibly well. Reviewer Bryan Lunduke noted its ability to run openSUSE, Fedora, Elementary, and Debian. Stellar battery life, lots of ports, and an impressive screen resolution make the XPS 13 Developer Edition an excellent Linux laptop. Lunduke’s only minor quibble: the XPS 13 Developer Edition only comes preloaded with Ubuntu. However as Linux laptops are a rarity, it’s to be expected that distro choices remain limited. Pros • Up to 3200 x 1800 resolution • 13-inch screen • Up to 16 GB RAM (i7) • Up to 512 GB SSD (i7) • Intel i5-7200U or i7-7500U • Runs lots of Linux operating systems Cons • Ships only with Ubuntu Copyright © 2017 MakeUseOf. All Rights Reserved ®. ! Best Mid-Range Linux Laptops ZaReason Verix 6440 ($1,500) Image Credit: ZaReason ZaReason’s Verix 6440 strikes a solid balance of performance and price. An i7-6700HQ comes standard as does an Nvidia 1060. What sets ZaReason apart is the customization of distros. You can select from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Kubuntu 16.04 LTS, Mint, Fedora, Debian, and in some cases a custom Linux operating system. The Verix 6440 sports stellar specs positioning it as a desktop replacement laptop. However, while Linux operating system options vary, hardware specs are limited. Storage and RAM may be upgraded though. Compare that to the similarly priced System76 Oryx Pro. Copyright © 2017 MakeUseOf. All Rights Reserved ®. ! While the Oryx Pro is limited to Ubuntu only, you’ve got two CPU choices in the i7-7700HQ and 7820HK. Plus, it’s available with a 1060 or 1070 and starts slightly below the Verix 6440. Still, the ZaReason Verix 6440 is a great choice especially for those seeking more distro choices out-of- the-box. Pros • Lots of Linux operating system options • NVIDIA 10-series 1060 GPU • Intel i7-6700HQ • Desktop replacement laptop Cons • Limited hardware options Copyright © 2017 MakeUseOf. All Rights Reserved ®. ! Purism Librem 15 ($1,700) As a Linux PC manufacturer, Purism is unique for that reason alone. But it’s the software that’s truly revolutionary, although controversial. The Purism Librem 15 is mid-sized and mid-range priced powerful laptop. Purism values security, freedom, and privacy. Hence the root word of “pure” in the company name. The Librem 15 arrives with a fifth gen Intel i7-5557U, up to 32 GB of DDR3 RAM, and Intel Iris graphics 6100. Image Credit: Purism Endgadget appreciated the open-source software and freedom. The operating system is a Trisquel variation. However, there’s definitely a premium. The base model includes a paltry 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive. Graphics are integrated, not discrete, and the i7 is a dual core processor. Moreover, Purism caused controversy with its laptops. Copyright © 2017 MakeUseOf. All Rights Reserved ®. ! Image Credit: Purism According to a PC World article, the Librem 15 contradicts its open-source promises with proprietary BIOS. Ultimately if your priorities are free and open software, Purism is your best bet. But for the price, you can snag the XPS 13, a Verix 6440, or System76 Serval WS. Check out Jacob Kauffmann’s, AKA Nerd on the Street, detailed Serval WS review. Each boasts drastically better performance than the Librem. Pros • Extremely free and open • Security-oriented • Intel Iris graphics • i7-5557U Cons • Dual core i7 • High price for low specs • Proprietary BIOS • Poor price-to-performance ratio Copyright © 2017 MakeUseOf.

  • Download Android Os for Phone Open Source Mobile OS Alternatives to Android
    download android os for phone Open Source Mobile OS Alternatives To Android. It’s no exaggeration to say that open source operating systems rule the world of mobile devices. Android is still an open-source project, after all. But, due to the bundle of proprietary software that comes along with Android on consumer devices, many people don’t consider it an open source operating system. So, what are the alternatives to Android? iOS? Maybe, but I am primarily interested in open-source alternatives to Android. I am going to list not one, not two, but several alternatives, Linux-based mobile OSes . Top Open Source alternatives to Android (and iOS) Let’s see what open source mobile operating systems are available. Just to mention, the list is not in any hierarchical or chronological order . 1. Plasma Mobile. A few years back, KDE announced its open source mobile OS, Plasma Mobile. Plasma Mobile is the mobile version of the desktop Plasma user interface, and aims to provide convergence for KDE users. It is being actively developed, and you can even find PinePhone running on Manjaro ARM while using KDE Plasma Mobile UI if you want to get your hands on a smartphone. 2. postmarketOS. PostmarketOS (pmOS for short) is a touch-optimized, pre-configured Alpine Linux with its own packages, which can be installed on smartphones. The idea is to enable a 10-year life cycle for smartphones. You probably already know that, after a few years, Android and iOS stop providing updates for older smartphones. At the same time, you can run Linux on older computers easily.

  • Open Hardware: Pureos and Arduino
    Published on Tux Machines (http://www.tuxmachines.org) Home > content > Open Hardware: PureOS and Arduino Open Hardware: PureOS and Arduino By Rianne Schestowitz Created 07/01/2021 - 7:39am Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 7th of January 2021 07:39:57 AM Filed under Hardware [1] PureOS: freedom, privacy, and security [2] A recent blog post from Purism?the company that developed PureOS to run on its security- focused hardware?celebrates three years of FSF endorsement of the Linux distribution. While this endorsement is an achievement that is not as highly valued by our communities as one might think, the work done to obtain and maintain that endorsement is useful even to those who disdain the FSF or disagree with its definition of what makes a distribution "free". While Purism and PureOS have been on our radar for a few years now, it seems worth a look at where things have gone with the distribution?and the company behind it. The blog post notes that PureOS and Purism "sit on a three-legged stool of Freedom, Privacy and Security". The three are intertwined, of course, since PureOS consisting of only free software allows users to ensure there are no antifeatures being slipped into the OS or applications that would impact their privacy or security. Beyond that, free software is an excellent defense against various software supply-chain attacks; in addition the scrutiny of the code afforded to free software, it can also be built in a manner that provides more security... [...] As might be guessed, security and privacy features do not come for free?or even inexpensively.

  • Free Software As Commons
    FREE SOFTWARE AS COMMONS BETWEEN INFORMATIONAL CAPITALISM AND A NEW MODE OF PRODUCTION By Emrah Irzık Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Professor Jakob Rigi CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2015 Statement I hereby state that the thesis contains no material accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Emrah Irzık Budapest, November 2015 CEU eTD Collection Abstract Free Software is a particular way of organizing the production and distribution of software that offers a solid alternative to the intellectual property regime by constituting an open commons: non-proprietary, created and held in common by all. Considering that in contemporary capitalism a significant amount of wealth is created through the application of intellectual effort to existing knowledge to produce new, higher compositions of knowledge that can be privately monetized as intellectual property, the challenge that Free Software might present to capitalism is bound to have important transformational potential. This potential needs to be studied both on an empirical level, in its partial and concrete manifestations in actual projects, and investigated more theoretically, to see if Free Software can be characterized as a nascent, new mode of production. This dissertation aims to contribute to the theorization of the relation between Free Software as a commons and the tenets of informational capitalism by means of an analytical study that is supported by an ethnography of a particular instance of Free Software as a project and a community.
