The Big Picture for Linux

The Linux desktop is easily still a good 5 years behind Windows and OSX and without LTS Linux wouldn\’t even be in the ballpark.

Linux outlasts Any Distro, Experienced End-Users Should Embrace that.

Watching the events around Ubuntu unfold it\’s once again teaching us something that anyone who\’s watched Linux for a long time, has noticed, but like my self, refuses to fully accept it. Many (maybe all? In the grand scheme) die or change for the worse.

And yet many Linux users are afraid of a \”raw\” Linux experience without the protection of their distro masters. They fear total system havoc without some bearded keeper of the repo gates preventing mass chaos from entering their system during some random update.

Four months into using Arch as my daily driver, in production and play, has taught me a big lesson. Not about how l33t Arch is, or that Wiki\’s can actually not suck, but that upstream is amazing. The near real time work that is being done is inspiring and encouraging to watch and enjoy.

Some examples of cutting edge:

Maybe there is a case to be made, that if you, like me, often enjoy toying with computer instead of playing a video game, then perhaps it in Linux and all upstream code\’s best future interests to try and live outside the box a little.

irrationalNumber comments on Ubuntu 13.10 Review | LAS s29e02

I\’ve spent a lot of time with each of the main-line distros (Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Arch, openSUSE, Slackware), and I have to say that if I weren\’t using Arch, I really don\’t know what else I would use.

I log in, trying to get ready for LAS but KDE kicks an error

Executable: plasma-desktop PID: 830 Signal: Segmentation fault (11)

My desktop flashes a few times and I am SOL.
Based on recommendations from the professional internet people in the IRC, I backup/move my .kde4 folder
I log in, and find my KDE as fresh as a up and coming crossdressing porn star\’s arse.
Debated the quick fix, which involved going in with laser like rm strike teams.

rm -rf ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma*

But in stead upted for the boss level route:

rm -rf ~/.kde4

This put me back at square zero with my KDE config.
This time around I decided to double down on tweaking defaults from the go.
My initial switch to KDE I tried to keep things default. That was a big mistake.
KDE is meant to be tweaked.
Started with \”System Settings\” and just went down each and every single option one by one until I was happy.
My KDE setup is even more amazing then before. Really love my current setup.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to Retire within 12 Months

\”There is never a perfect time for this type of transition, but now is the right time,\” Ballmer, 57, said in a statement. \”We have embarked on a new strategy with a new organization and we have an amazing senior leadership team. My original thoughts on timing would have had my retirement happen in the middle of our company\’s transformation to a devices and services company.

Was Ubuntu Edge a Sign?

Brought to you by: System76

Ubuntu Edge Campaign Admits $32 Million Goal Was ‘Crazy’

The number came out of doing some homework on what would be needed to bring the phone to market. And ultimately bringing a phone like this to market requires a lot industrial design work, electrical design, testing, etc. We could have gone for a lower total number, but with a much higher per-unit cost. So, we tried to find something that was a good compromise.

Mark Shuttleworth: The Ubuntu Edge was a ‘time machine’ | ZDNet

“We thought we could take a leap forward two or three years in terms of the capabilities of today’s phone through the Edge,”

– ::snip:: –

“It certainly raised eyebrows in the phone industry in a good way. Folks feel there’s a hunger for something new and it sent a signal as to what that something new might look like,” said Shuttleworth.

Canonical CEO: Expect an Ubuntu phone in early 2014

“I think the full Ubuntu convergence experience will not be in the first round of Ubuntu phones, which we’re targeting for the first quarter 2014,” Silber told CNET. “Just phones, not a full converged plug-into-your-monitor device,” she added, stressing, “I think convergence is the future. It may take many forms.”

The rate of games coming to Linux. I check for new games weekly now, and almost install two or three new games a week. This is amazing.

We need to track Steam better as a community. Each month the numbers come out we don\’t have any good visualization of how we are doing. Asymco for Apple for example.

Luna OS review Forgot:

Good desktop for developers. Ubuntu LTS compatibility/support with simple UI to let them focus.
App indicators work
In a couple years high end OEMs like System76 might move to Elementary OS if Ubuntu totally jumps the mobile shark
They plan to go w/Wayland, not Mir. Big diff from Ubuntu.

elementary OS Luna Review

Brought to you by: System76

In April of 2011, a small group of high school and college kids released an Ubuntu 10.10 remaster that we called elementary OS “Jupiter”.

It was clear from the get-go that Luna would be all about getting things done, and a major component of that is apps that open and close instantly. But aside from optimizing the code, there was a push to optimize speed on the design side as well.

Top Things To Do After Installing Luna : Elementary Update

After elementary OS Luna has been officially released, a surge of new eOS users has arrived, and we are here to help. Everyone, including me, loves a “Top Things To Do After Installing…” list, so let’s get you started.

Settings and configuration for the different components of our computers is typically scattered amongst many disjointed, disparate, stand-alone applications with different user interfaces and behavior.

Switchboard solves this problem by enforcing coherency with regard to interface and behavior, and by automatically organizing the different configuration options into one unified and central location.

Switchboard is meant to provide a place for global configuration settings, such as power options, device syncing, or third-party hardware.

Remote Linux Desktop with Splashtop

Brought to you by: System76

Splashtop Streamer for Linux | Splashtop

Splashtop Streamer is a high-performance audio-video streaming server, enabling remote access from an Android device (tablet/phone) or an iOS device (iPad/iPhone/iPod). You can connect within a Local Area Network or through a cross-network or Internet connection.

Due to its efficient protocol, algorithms and optimizations, Splashtop has been shown in performance benchmarks to deliver up to 15x higher video frame rates and up to 10x lower latency times than its competition. Splashtop sessions are secured with SSL and 256-bit AES encryption, allowing it to serve as a secure pipe between devices, in some cases allowing users to eliminate their need for separate VPN solutions.

Splashtop Streamer for Ubuntu Controls Your Linux Desktop, Streams Video, and More

Just like its Windows and Mac versions, Splashtop Streamer for Linux aims to be a faster way to connect to your desktop PC from a mobile device. Coupled with the Splashtop apps for iOS and Android, you can view or edit files, run Linux programs, stream music and videos, and more right from your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

Splashtop For Linux Claims 10x Performance Advantage

While at first it seems boring yet another remote desktop application for Linux when there’s already VNC and friends, the features offered are fairly interesting. In the press release being issued today, Splashtop claims a 10x performance advantage over VNC.

Splashtop 2 client devices can connect to a remote computer running Ubuntu and the company attributes their “efficient protocol, algorithms, and optimizations” that allow it to deliver 10x the performance over VNC in latencies. Splashtop also claims 15x higher video frame-rates than the competition. I haven’t yet tried out this software on Linux myself so I cannot attest to these performance claims.

Splashtop Streamer for Ubuntu Linux (Beta) — Ubuntu Apps Directory

Installing to Splashtop to Arch:

For the machine to be accessed, server even, install splashtop-streamer.
For the client, install splashtop-client and for your phone, Splashtop 2 Remote Desktop.

Ubuntu Edge: Things Just got Crazy

Brought to you by: System76

Ubuntu Edge | Indiegogo

In the car industry, Formula 1 provides a commercial testbed for cutting-edge technologies. The Ubuntu Edge project aims to do the same for the mobile phone industry – to provide a low-volume, high-technology platform, crowdfunded by enthusiasts and mobile computing professionals. A pioneering project that accelerates the adoption of new technologies and drives them down into the mainstream.

The specs:

Fastest multi-core CPU, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage
4.5in 1,280 x 720 HD sapphire crystal display
8mp low-light rear camera, 2mp front camera
Dual-LTE, dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4, NFC
GPS, accelerometer, gyro, proximity sensor, compass, barometer
Stereo speakers with HD audio, dual-mic recording, Active Noise Cancellation
MHL connector, 3.5mm jack
Silicon-anode Li-Ion battery
64 x 9 x 124mm

The ReactOS software includes binary and source distributions of the latest ReactOS. This includes the kernel, various subsystems and some basic applications.

Notes:

Installer looks straight outta NT4 / Win2k DOS days.
File system choices are FAT32 or ext2
In a future where ChromeOS and tablets are a viable platform for the majority of your computing, ReactOS could play the role of enabling legacy support for old Win32 apps. In a sense, further eliminating in shred of legitimacy the Windows platform could hold 7+ years out.

Apple Dev Center Down
Apple Developer Website Hacked: Developer Names, Addresses May Have Been Taken

In an email to developers today, Apple revealed that its Developer Center website was breached by unknown hackers and was taken offline last Thursday as a precaution.

UPDATE: Turkish hacker posts video of Apple Dev Centre breach | ITProPortal.com

\”This is definitely not an hack attack. I have reported all the bugs I have found to the company and waited for approval. I am being accused of hacking but I have not given any harm to the system and i did notwanted to damage [sic],\” writes the user Ibrahim Baliç.

He has since told the Guardian, \”My intention was not attacking. In total I found 13 bugs and reported [them] directly one by one to Apple straight away. Just after my reporting [the] dev center got closed. I have not heard anything from them, and they announced that they got attacked. My aim was to report bugs and collect the datas [sic] for the purpose of seeing how deep I can go with it.\”
