Intel NUC Desktop Linux Review

Brought to you by: System76

• Outside of video games, it has a completely uncompromised feeling and desktop experience. Video games do work well at lower resolutions, but struggle at 1080p.
• This NUC requires 1.35 volt memory, it also required timing 11 not timing 9 memory. The computer will not boot with 1.5 volt memory or refresh timing 9 memory. This applies to newer generation NUCs, which is fairly confusing as older generations accepted both 1.5 and 1.35v memory.

My NUC as Speced:

• Up the amount of vram allocated to the intel gpu to something reasonable (1gb+) in UEFI, vastly improves video performance.
• Enable Early KMS start, gives a high resolution terminal and allows a smoother transition to the desktop.
• Install xf86-video-intel, enable multilib, install lib32-intel-dri
• Drivers already default to the new SNA mode, so ignore the first section but do the second section that enables glamour mode
• install libva-intel-driver, you can also use VDPAU as well
• If using gnome, add to /etc/enviroment CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling to get tear-free video

CoreOS is Linux for Massive Server Deployments

• CoreOS: A different kind of Linux distribution [LWN.net]

CoreOS is one of the few. While CoreOS is originally based on Chrome OS (another of the few), it has a much different target than that mobile-focused distribution; CoreOS calls itself: “Linux for Massive Server Deployments”.

NSA Said to Exploit Heartbleed Bug for Intelligence for Years

The Heartbleed flaw, introduced in early 2012 in a minor adjustment to the OpenSSL protocol, highlights one of the failings of open source software development.

While many Internet companies rely on the free code, its integrity depends on a small number of underfunded researchers who devote their energies to the projects.

The Many Alternative Computing Worlds of Linux

It may not be widely known, but Linux did revolutionize computing. If you own an Android phone or a Kindle e-reader, you are a Linux user. Linux is at the core of those popular devices and is found in a variety of other places, from the world’s most powerful supercomputers down to the tiny Raspberry Pi device that is a favorite among electronics hobbyists.
