Re: Article #1 for winter 2020 quarter....

This article compares Linux to Windows 10, explaining some of the history on Linux and the Windows operating system.  When it comes to security, Linux definitely seems to have the edge when in the proper hands, Linux also is much more customizable than Windows 10.

I thought this was an interesting article about EA banning people for trying to play Battlefield V on Linux using Wine. According to EA, they were banned for "Cheating" for using Wine. Regardless if they legitimately cheated or not.  ​

https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-linux-mint-desktop-continues-to-lead-the-rest/ This is a quick article explaining why linux mint is the front runner for all linux based desktops. They are the easiest to use and offer the best vanilla experience.

This article https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-Ryzen-k10temp-CCD-V-Current is about updated hardware monitoring for Ryzen 2 based processors. What this means is, "the patched k10temp Linux driver should expose Vcore, VSoc, Tdie, Tctl, Tccd1, Tccd2, Icore, and Isoc outputs." This will allow finer control and monitoring for Linux users who want to overclock, monitor temperatures, and going forward it will help AMD to make their chips more compatible with Linux based operating systems.

The manufacturer Pine64 has released a new pinephone nicknamed the braveheart which runs on a linux based system. The pre-orders for this phone have already sold out, this first version is meant for developers or long time linux users. This phone come with a lot of cool features such as kill switches for your GPS, Microphone, Camera, Bluetooth, Wifi and modem. The price for this phone is you might be thinking will be upwards of 500 dollars but shipped you could get this phone for only 149.99.

Re: Article #1 for winter 2020 quarter....

Last quarter when we were using kali, I learned just about all IoT devices run a stripped down version of linux. This article discusses the different linux cores and their use. Theres even software for developing your own core based on your needs and hardware limitations. This software is called the Yocto project. It also discusses andriod's core for google products, ubuntu core which has emphasis on security, and even rasbian which can also be further tweaked for specific user needs, setting up a raspberry pi sensor for example. All in all I find it interesting how linux is used in many IoT devices today, mainly for its adaptability.

 many Linux distributions, you can obtain Microsoft fonts through your system’s package manager. they use apt on an Ubuntu/Debian-based machine on other distributions. Using the following command sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
