Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

I like swapping distros every time I do an upgrade. This is so much fun and I get to know many distros. It's like driving different cars or ordering different meals.
Arch is also my choice
- flexibility
- rolling release
- pacman and yaourt (one of the best packaging tools)
- documents (covers almost every area)
- community
Arch for me too
After 1/2 a decade of constantly hopping distro's I have stopped at Arch Linux.
Reasons:-
- Constant upgrades - i.e no versions as such
- Has the latest stable packages - i.e :- KDE 4.3.1 was in arch linux's repos the day it was released, so no waiting for software to be packaged by the maintainers.
- I got fed up with the silliness of Ubuntu's update policy - i.e why is the latest stable version of ubuntu not using Firefox 3.5.x yet by default ??
- Yaourt / abs makes recompiling a package very easy - not as powerful as gentoo but nearly there.
- arch seems faster than any other OS (except gentoo)
- Dependency issues are very rare (usually the solution is to wait an hour or so for the mirror to update)
The best
The best and I mean the very best distribution is the one you like best!
Arch Linux
It's the best!
