Canonical Puts Out A Hardware List, But It Falls Short
Canonical has announced this morning they have released the "world's most comprehensive, up-to-date component catalog for Linux." It's effectively a hardware database showing components they have tested. It's interesting, but of course I have more than a few comments on the matter with some constructive criticism.
The press release announcing the Canonical Component Catalog can be found at Canonical.com. As said in the press release, "Canonical today announced that for the first time it was making publicly available its complete database of certified components for Ubuntu and Linux — rapidly reducing the the time-to-market for Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) working on Ubuntu or Linux machines."
It's nice for what's publicly available and can be found at Ubuntu.com. It lists components by vendors and also by component category. There's also basic search functionality. Though not to serve as an advertisement for OpenBenchmarking.org, which will launch by month's end, there's a few areas Canonical could improve upon.

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. |
