People Still Want Ubuntu Edge to Happen
Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 3rd of October 2014 12:33:10 AM Filed under
Back in July 2013, Canonical proposed a new type of smartphone, an extremely powerful device that would be built with the best the industry had to offer at that point. It's safe to say that it attracted a lot of attention and that people keep wondering if there still is a chance to see something like it.
The crowdfunding campaign aimed to raise $32 million (€25.3 million), but it fell short and only managed to gather $12.8 million (€10 million). Even with less than half of what it needed for this project to succeed, Ubuntu Edge still remains one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns.

Ubuntu 14.10 Fans, Prepare for "It's a Boring Release" Comments
Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Monday 29th of September 2014 09:08:00 PM Filed under
Canonical made a very good release back in April. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was very well received and it integrated many features. It was very different from Ubuntu 13.10, so it was spared the "boring" rhetoric. On the other hand, Ubuntu 14.10 will not bring any important visible changes to the operating system and it will be very difficult to set it apart from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Many users will be tempted to think that nothing has changed, but an operating system is complex and it has many components that are not visible to the regular users and that can contribute a great deal to the overall performance of the OS.

Unchanging Unicorn: Don't be disappointed with Ubuntu 14.10, be happy
Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 26th of September 2014 09:00:41 PM Filed under

A number of Ubuntu flavours – Kubuntu, Ubuntu Gnome, Xubuntu and the brand new Ubuntu Mate (yes, it's official now) – this month participated in the first beta release of the next Ubuntu – 14.10, or Utopic Unicorn.
The main Unity Desktop was absent, meaning what's called the second beta (and is now available) is the first and only beta for the main Ubuntu 14.10.

Kubuntu 14.10 Beta 2 Is Out, Features KDE 4.14 and Plasma 5 Preview – Screenshot Tour
Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 26th of September 2014 07:42:22 PM Filed under

The Kubuntu devs are a little late to the party, but they have finally published the details for the latest and final release in this development cycle. The 14.10 Beta 2 release is not very different from the previous one, with the exception of the implementation of KDE 4.14, which reached a stable stage in the meantime.
Users will also be able to take advantage of a new Kubuntu release to get familiar with the latest Plasma 5 desktop that can be tested right now. It's still far from a stable version, but the overall design won't change much more than this.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Linux Performance Boosted By Updated BIOS/AGESA
With last week's initial launch-day Linux benchmarks of the Ryzen 5 2600X / Ryzen 7 2700X some found the Linux performance to be lower than Windows. While the root cause is undetermined, a BIOS/AGESA update does appear to help the Linux performance significantly at least with the motherboard where I've been doing most of my tests with the Ryzen 7 2700X. Here are the latest benchmark numbers.
