If you would like to test out Linux before completely switching it as your everyday driver, there are a number of means by which you can do it. Linux was not intended to run on Windows, and Windows was not meant to host Linux. To begin with, and perhaps most of all, Linux is open source computer software. In any event, Linux outperforms Windows on all your hardware.

If you’ve always wished to try out Linux but were never certain where to begin, have a look at our how to begin guide for Linux. Linux is not any different than Windows or Mac OS, it’s basically an Operating System but the leading different is the fact that it is Free for everyone. Employing Linux today isn’t any more challenging than switching from one sort of smartphone platform to another.

Linux is one of the most popular and versatile operating systems available. It can be used on a smartphone, computer and even a car. Linux has been around since the 1990s and is still one of the most widespread operating systems.

Linux is actually used to run most of the Internet as it is considered to be rather stable compared to other operating systems. This is one of the reasons why people choose Linux over Windows. Besides, Linux provides its users with privacy and doesn’t collect their data at all, while Windows 10 and its Cortana voice control system always require updating your personal information.

Linux has many advantages. However, people do not hear much about it, as it has been squeezed out from the market by Windows and Mac. And many people get confused when they start using Linux, as it’s a bit different from popular operating systems.

So to help you out we’ve collected 5 useful resources for those who want to know more about Linux.

I found this great article of Anton Gostev about Spectre and Meltdown, so I’m reposting it here :

By now, most of you have probably already heard of the biggest disaster in the history of IT – Meltdown and Spectre security vulnerabilities which affect all modern CPUs, from those in desktops and servers, to ones found in smartphones. Unfortunately, there’s much confusion about the level of threat we’re dealing with here, because some of the impacted vendors need reasons to explain the still-missing security patches. But even those who did release a patch, avoid mentioning that it only partially addresses the threat. And, there’s no good explanation of these vulnerabilities on the right level (not for developers), something that just about anyone working in IT could understand to make their own conclusion. So, I decided to give it a shot and deliver just that.

Docker and the ecosystem around it have done some great things for developers, but from an operational standpoint, it’s mostly just the same old issues with a fresh coat of paint. Real change happens when we change our perspective from Infrastructure (as a Service) to Platform (as a Service), and when the ultimate deployment artifact is a running application instead of a virtual machine.

Even Kubernates still feels a lot like IaaS – just with containers instead of virtual machines. To be fair, there are already some platforms out there that shift the user experience towards the application (Cloud Foundry and Heroku come to mind), but many of them have a large operations burden, or are provided in a SaaS model only.

In the Docker ecosystem we are starting to see more of these types of platforms, the first of which was Dokku which started as a single machine Heroku replacement written in about 100 lines of Bash. Building on top of that work other, richer systems like Deisand Flynn have emerged, as well as custom solutions built in-house, like Yelp’s PaaSta.
