The Intense-PC is also available with Linux Mint pre-loaded as the operating system.

Why Linux Desktop is still not dead ?

We have been reading lately from some frustrated individuals, talking a lot about death of Linux Desktops. While it's good to read their opinion, it seems many of these people are either getting old or don't live with current trend. Linux is already 20 years old and in 20 years one can get old. This article is just my opinion on this subject.

Nouveau Begins To Work Towards Unreleased GK110

While the hardware hasn't even been released yet by NVIDIA, support for the very interesting and powerful GK110, a.k.a. "Kepler 2", is already starting to materialize within the open-source reverse-engineered Nouveau driver...

A few days ago we saw Gnome Split that is an application used for the splitting and merging of any kind of files. We used an mp3 file for our example and the file chunks were not playable as you would expect…

Mp3splt is another small GTK3 application that will help you split your audio files in such a way, that the produced chunks will be playable. Apart from that, it also offers some more audio specific features that will be very useful in such situations.

KDE's KWin To Receive Performance Improvements

Next month's KDE SC 4.9.2 release will be slightly faster with the KWin compositing window manager while more performance optimizations for KWin will land in KDE SC 4.10 come late January of 2013...

Fast Burst Camera: When Great Action Shots Are Enough

Spritefish's Fast Burst Camera may be just the app for sports photography. I've reviewed camera apps for Android OS before, and I've been particularly fond of Vignette, with its 76 customizable photo effects including infrared. That app is superior to market leader Instagram. However, Spritefish claims that Fast Burst Camera can take up to 30 photos per second.

Five things Desktop Linux has to do to beat Windows 8

Microsoft, as it did with Vista, is giving Linux another chance to make the gains in the PC market with Windows 8, but can Linux take advantage of this opportunity?

Kiwi 12.08 Screenshot Tour

  • ChrisHaney.com (Posted by lqsh on Sep 7, 2012 10:45 PM CST)
  • Groups: GNOME, Linux
After exactly two years of neglect I released a new version of the Ubuntu remix with Romanian, Hungarian, German and English languages included by default. It is based on Ubuntu 12.04.1, and keeping in line with the traditional goals of the project, it targets Linux newbies who find some of the standard Ubuntu applications lacking or who are taken aback by anything too unfamiliar. It also targets lazy people who would otherwise change about the same things on a vanilla Ubuntu install. So it features the Classic GNOME 2 desktop, Chromium, VLC, Pidgin, Flash, multimedia codecs and the rar and p7zip archive format handlers.

Crazies: Linux w/o Ethernet, Multi-Monitor, Multi-User

It seems the crazies are back to invading the Linux kernel mailing list and/or have expanded their trolling cult. After it was proposed in August that Linux doesn't need x86-32 support and Linux doesn't need keyboard support, the latest proposal is to drop support for Ethernet, multi-monitor, multiple user accounts, and no more optical drive support...

  • Groups: GNOME
Gnome 3.6 hasn’t even been released yet by the work towards to 3.8 is massive. This time I extracted the latest Gnome Calendar mockups from the experimental Gnome Git.

Always keep on mind that these are very early tentative designs and there is a good chance to change, postponed for next Gnome releases or even they might completely dropped.

The Linux Works: A New Linux Blog

  • Ever Increasing Entropy (blog); By Caitlyn Martin (Posted by caitlyn on Sep 7, 2012 7:01 PM CST)
  • Story Type: Announcements; Groups: Linux
I have a new Linux blog, one which will have articles I would have published at O'Reilly Broadcast (or O'Reilly News or Linux Dev Center) in the past. As most of you know, I wrote/blogged for O'Reilly about Linux from 2006 until May, 2012. O'Reilly's blog sites are still there but they've done away with Linux blogging. I've also written features for DistroWatch but my involvement in the development of a Linux distribution makes continuing there appear to be a conflict of interest.

Nexus 7 - First Look

I had the opportunity to test drive a friend's Asus (Google) Nexus 7, the latest entry into the tablet space. It has an attractive price point, a clear display and most of the tools that you would expect from a tablet. But despite this, there are some serious limitations that might have you think twice about adopting this device as your go to tablet.

Linux on the Desktop: New Opportunities

  • Story Type: Editorial; Groups: Linux, SUSE
Lately we’ve been treated to (or bombarded by) a slew of articles and blog posts proclaiming the failure and/or the death of Linux on the desktop. I could describe what I really think of these articles but my language would be a bit more colorful than would be appropriate. Suffice it to say it’s all bunk as far as I am concerned.

Full disk encryption and LVM configuration in Ubuntu’s graphical installer showed that two very important features that were missing in Ubiquity, the installation program of Ubuntu Desktop, will finally be incorporated into the version that will ship in Ubuntu 12.10.

The GPL-Licensed Half-Life Engine Is Still Going

Continuing to advance as an open-source project is a game engine that's written from scratch with an aim of being compatible with the original Half-Life "Gold Source" engine. This GPL-licensed engine is already working with many original Valve games and mods. A Phoronix reader wrote in this morning to bring up Xash3D, which is self-described as a "Custom Gold Source Engine build from a scratch." The Xash3D engine isn't brand new but has been around for a while now and is continuing to mature -- it should already work for almost any existing single-player Half-Life mod without having any compatibility issues. The multi-player code to the Xash3D engine is also incomplete at the moment.
