ChromeOS disses Linux users, drops ext2/3/4
Sometimes people make decisions that are so baffling and so far out of left field that you are left simply... dumb struck. Case in point: ChromeOS is dropping support for ext2, ext3 and ext4 file systems, the file systems used by the vast majority of Linux systems. Now, I hear what you're saying. "It's ChromeOS... Linux? Don't they simply get full support for these file systems for free?" Yes, it is. And, yes, they do. Which begs the question... why, on Earth, would anyone think this is a good idea?To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

Better know an OS: Linux Mint 17.1 "Qiana"
If you'd like to move from Windows to something that is faster, sleeker, and more flexible (and free) look no further than Linux Mint, one of the most popular desktop Linux distros. The reason for Linux Mint's popularity is two-fold; first, it is one of the most stable distros available (perhaps even the most stable) and, second, its out of the box experience is excellent.First released in 2006 and currently based on the 3.13.0-24 Linux kernel and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the latest release, Mint 17.1 (Qiana) which is available in both 32- and 64-bit x86 editions, was designed to be stable. In the next two years Ubuntu is planned to undergo some major architectural changes that will most likely be destabilizing so Mint will remain based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS until 2019.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
