With the Drive PX2, NVIDIA is doubling-down on the vision it had last year: Instead of just enabling high-end PC gaming, NVIDIA’s GPUs can also be used to perform the crazy levels of computation necessary for self-driving cars.

World Without Linux Final Episode: Free Burger
In 1991, Linus Torvalds starting working on Linux “just for fun” as a “hobby, nothing professional.” Today, Linux is the world’s largest collaborative project in the history of computing. It powers the Internet, the cloud, the world’s stock exchanges, supercomputers, embedded devices and more.

Main Linux problems on the desktop, 2016 edition
In this regularly updated article, which is without doubt the most comprehensive list of Linux distributions’ problems on the entire Internet, we only discuss their main problems and deficiencies (which may be the reason why some people say Linux distros are not ready for the desktop) while everyone should keep in mind that there are areas where Linux has excelled other OSes: excellent package management, multiple platforms and architectures support out of the box, usually excellent stability, no widely circulating viruses or malware, complete system reinstallation is almost never required, besides Linux is extremely customizable, easily scripted and it’s free as in beer.
Again, let me reiterate it, this article is primarily about Linux distributions, however many issues listed below affect the Linux kernel as well.
