Yesterday along with the completely Linux-trouble-free Ryzen 7 (it indeed went overnight without any issues coming up via the kill-ryzen script), I finally got my hands on the AMD Threadripper.
Some Early AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X Linux Benchmarks. Self-appointed OpenChrome project maintainer Kevin Brace who for the past year or so has been single-handedly managing the open-source VIA “OpenChrome” graphics driver code-base, is still working towards getting the work-in-progress Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) driver working on newer builds of the Linux kernel. OpenChrome DRM Still Being Ported To Newer Kernel, Lengthy Process. RadeonSI May Eventually Switch To NIR Completely. SDL Lands Initial Support For OpenGL KHR_no_error. Only SPIR-V & KHR_no_error Are Left Blocking OpenGL 4.6 In Mesa. Today is the day most commonly associated as the birthday of Linux. It was on this day 26 years ago that a plucky Fin named Linus Torvalds punched out a small announcement about his ‘hobby’ operating system and shared it with the Minix newsgroup. Happy 26th birthday Linux! Yes, it’s that time of the year once again, the day which most open-source enthusiasts consider to be the famous kernel’s formal founding. That required a whopping 2MB of RAM, or 4MB if you wanted to compile programs, and 8MB to run X windows. My first Linux distribution was Softlanding Linux System (SLS) 1.03, with Linux kernel 0.99 alpha patch level 11. When I heard about Linux, a free version of Unix that I could run on my 386 computer at home, I immediately wanted to try it out. I ran MS-DOS at the time, but I really liked the Unix systems in our campus computer lab, where I spent much of my time as an undergraduate university student. Happy anniversary, Linux: A look back at where it all began. Updategate: German ruling means no more forced Windows OS downloadsĭuring the ‘free upgrade’ period of Microsoft’s Windows 10 rollout and subsequent updates, the company was heavily criticised for downloading large amounts of data to users’ machines without permission, or even an acknowledgement that the upgrade was wanted. Having held out for 18 months, and losing its case twice, Microsoft has finally agreed to stop its nefarious tactics. Windows users in Germany were particularly unimpressed when Microsoft forcibly downloaded many gigabytes of files to upgrade from Windows 7 and 8 to Windows 10. Following a court case, Microsoft has vowed to never force upgrade files onto users again. There have been various controversies with Windows 10, from issues with privacy and telemetry, to ads and forced upgrades. Microsoft will never again sneakily force Windows downloads on users. Entroware have unleashed Zeus, a powerful new “Ultra Mobile” Linux laptop. Of course, not all of those are actual commands (or commands I would use), but the number is significant. 
On my current Elementary OS system, that number is 1,944. Take, for instance, the number of commands found in /usr/bin alone.
Remember when you first started out with Linux? Depending on the environment you’re coming from, the learning curve can be somewhat challenging.

On paper, I’m impressed at how well the Entroware Zeus manages to balance top tier performance and yet retain the benefits of portability.
