Jeff Hoogland of Bodhi Linux

Project Manager and Lead Developer

DistroWatch.com: Bodhi Linux

Bodhi Linux is an Ubuntu-based distribution for the desktop featuring the elegant and lightweight Enlightenment window manager. The project, which integrates and pre-configures the very latest builds of Enlightenment directly from the project’s development repository, offers modularity, high level of customisation, and choice of themes. The default Bodhi system is light — the only pre-installed applications are Midori, Terminology, EFM (Enlightenment File Manager), ePhoto and ePad — but more software is available via AppCenter, a web-based software installation tool.

The hunt for gravitational waves, runs linux

There is an article on Guardian explaining what is the experiment about https://www.theguardian.com/science/across-the-universe/2015/feb/12/the-hunt-for-gravitational-waves-could-be-nearing-success[1] .

On the video LIGO Generations we see the lab where they analyze results and we see all the lab run Ubuntu.

The hunt for gravitational waves could be nearing success | Science | The Guardian

Here’s a date for your diary: 1 January 2017. It’s the day that physicists are predicting for a great scientific breakthrough: the first direct detection of gravitational waves.

It will be the equivalent of astronomers discovering a new sense. With telescopes, they can already see the universe. By detecting gravitational waves, they will be able to ‘listen’ to it as well. We would be able to ‘hear’ stars colliding with one another, the destruction of matter falling into black holes and the catastrophic detonation of distant massive stars.

Desktop App Pick

LanguageTool

Submitted By Rikai

LanguageTool is an Open Source proofreading program for English, French, German, Polish, and more than 20 other languages. It finds many errors that a simple spell checker cannot detect and several grammar problems.

Mark Shuttleworth considering Canonical IPO

The decision won’t be entirely his. “I need to talk it over with my Canonical team.” He also said that the idea has been being seriously kicked around internally for the last several months.

Chromium Finally Gets HiDPI Support for Linux After Being Ignored for Three Years – Softpedia

“I’m happy to notice that High DPI is now fully supported in Chromium for Linux starting in Dev Channel. If you don’t have a HighDPI screen, you can still run chromium with the –force-device-scale-factor=2 switch to see how scaling works there,” wrote François Beaufort.

Full HiDPI support in Chrome is now available in the main branch google-chrome as of version 43.0.2357.2-1 and works out of the box as tested with Gnome and Cinnamon.

Ads Based On Browsing History Are Coming To All Firefox Users

Mozilla has announced plans to launch a feature called “Suggested Tiles,” which will provide sponsored recommendations to visit certain websites when other websites show up in the user’s new tab page. The tiles will begin to show up for beta channel users next week, and the company is asking for feedback. For testing purposes, users will only see Suggested Tiles “promoting Firefox for Android, Firefox Marketplace, and other Mozilla causes.” It’s not yet known what websites will show up on the tiles when the feature launches later this summer. The company says, “With Suggested Tiles, we want to show the world that it is possible to do relevant advertising and content recommendations while still respecting users’ privacy and giving them control over their data.”

Mozilla gives up on its dream of a $25 Firefox smartphone | The Verge

CNET reports that in an email to employees sent out on Thursday, CEO Chris Beard made it clear that the company will soon be changing its mobile strategy. “We have not seen sufficient traction for a $25 phone,” Beard wrote. He went on to say, “We will focus on efforts that provide a better user experience, rather than focusing on cost alone.”

Intel takes on CoreOS with its own container-based Linux

In a detailed article at LWN.net, Intel engineer Arjan van de Ven described Intel’s aim to build a container system “where one can use the isolation of virtual-machine technology along with the deployment benefits of containers.”

The resulting system, Clear Containers, uses Linux’s kernel-native KVM hypervisor, but runs it in such a way that it avoids most of the startup time overhead typically associated with spinning up a KVM instance. Intel also claims it can leverage systemd and a few kernel-level memory-organization tricks to slim down and speed up the process even further.

Second stretchgoal reached and new builds!

We’ve got our second stretchgoal through both Kickstarter and the Paypal donations! We hope we can get many more so that you, our users, get to choose more ways for us to improve Krita. And we have got half a third stretch goal actually implemented: modifier keys for selections!

Bodhi Linux 2.2 Review:

Brought to you by: System76

Bodhi is a Sanskrit/Pāli word which is usually translated into English as “enlightenment”. Thus it is an appropriate name for a Linux distribution utilising the Enlightenment desktop.

Bodhi Linux is a “semi-rolling” release. This means that we follow the Ubuntu LTS release cycle for the core of our distribution, but inbetween these major releases we backport software to our users so all of their software stays current.

This means; to stay with the latest release of Bodhi you only need to reinstall your system every two years, while still having current versions of your favorite applications.
Bodhi releases are supported/get security updates for as long as the LTS base is supported by Ubuntu – so five years.

2013 Linux Predictions:

Brought to you by: System76

Photo of my new System76 laptop : LinuxActionShow

2012 looks like it might have been one of the best year for Linux in terms of generating momentum, and positioning for an amazing 2013.

Distributions:

Is Fedora Linux Becoming Business-Friendly?
The Future Of Fedora Gets Debated, Again
Moving to Arch Linux from Fedora
OpenSUSE’s Jos Poortvliet: Collaborate or Become Obsolete
Building Windows 8 blogs Sinofsky did. This would require someone inside Ubuntu to step out as the “vision guy” and evangelize the Ubuntu desktop. Maybe Jason Warner, the Ubuntu Desktop Manager.

Gaming:

As put by Michael Larabel at phoronix.com

Valve’s next-gen Linux console. This Linux-based console for the living room that’s designed around Steam is going to be huge. This is one of the most exciting milestones to look forward to for Linux as a whole in 2013. Like earlier Phoronix Valve exclusives, you can believe it now or wait and be surprised later, but this is the most exciting piece of Linux hardware that we should see in 2013. It’s exciting on so many different levels as you’ll see and is a huge growth opportunity for Linux.

Noted by Jay Lyman, at LinuxInsider

OpenStack also represents the latest Linux battleground, with Red Hat, SUSE and Canonical all vying to support enterprise deployments. Linux is a big part of cloud computing – not only technically, but also culturally, and in conversations between vendors and customers.
