Code for food

When it comes time to buy a new hi-tech gadget, we all have a great lust to buy a piece of hardware that money can (or can't) buy. It often turns out to be a things that's too deep in price, but our pockets cannot reach that far.

After a failed attempt to get Fedora Rawhide working I decided to take another step and find something that will work, but have also the latest software in mind. And here it comes: openSUSE 13.2 Tumbleweed. It says: newest and stable software. Seems like a good deal. Let's get the work done.

After a successful 14.04 LTS release and not so promising 14.10, as stated by many users, 15.04 takes a place, or better to say it is going to take a place on 23th of April which is a final release date. It is codenamed Vivid Vervet. Let's take a look under a hood what it brings.

Two years after last Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Long term support) release codenamed Precise Pangolin, this April we got a new version named Trusty Tahr, later in 25th of July there was an update to version 14.04.1. So let's first do a compare to old 12.04 and see what's new.

Last year I bought a shiny new laptop with nice and attractive features for price and... Windows 8. It is a quad core laptop ASUS K55N-DS81 with built-in graphics HD7640G. After not so long I got my laptop, I replaced Windows 8 with Linux and later in this review I will explain why Windows 8 (and later 8.1) is for me rather a toy than a productive environment. There is also a workstation product so called Windows 2012. Honestly, I don't understand why would anyone serious choose Windows 2012 over very well supported and approved Red Hat. Ah yes, it is eye candy.
