Windows and macOS users willing to switch to Linux have a distribution at their fingertips that will make the switch a breeze: Zorin OS. It has been designed so that everyone can personalize their desktop to be as similar as possible to the one they use.
It is based on Ubuntu and on the same Open Source code used by the US Department of Defense and NASA, making it a solid and reliable system. It has advanced security features, is fast, and doesn’t slow down with updates. In addition, there is a Lite edition that promises to work quickly on computers up to 15 years old, so it can be a good option to give older computers a second chance.
At the end of this month of July, the development of a new Linux distribution will begin, which promises to be different from the rest. Serpent OS will challenge the usual conventions that Linux users are used to. In fact, it is not oriented to the masses, but to the most purist linuxers. It will be modular and optimized for modern machines.
Improve the desktop experience for users to work more comfortably. This is the main goal of the new version of Linux Mint, which is now available for download. Linux Mint 20 ‘Ulyana’ Xfce Edition is based on Ubuntu 20.04 and incorporates the Linux 5.4 Kernel. It has long-term support, specifically it will receive updates until the year 2025.
The latest edition of the TOP500 of the most powerful computers in the world has arrived with news. A Japanese supercomputer with ARM chip and running Linux has risen to first place. Never before has an ARM computer been so high on this ranking.
The new number 1 is called Fugaku and will be used, among other things, for research against Covid-19, both for diagnosis and to study the characteristics of the disease.
The Lockdown security module introduced in Linux 5.4 to lock certain parts of the kernel seems not to be as effective as expected. A developer has managed to skip this protection on Ubuntu 18.04 and break Secure Boot. To do this, he has used ACPI tables, the standard that controls the operation of the BIOS and provides advanced functionalities to manage and save energy.
Linus Torvalds announced the availability of Linux 5.7. This new version of the kernel comes with a long list of new features. In this article, we will mention some of the most significant ones.
