Article Title: Is Yu Linmu Feng switching to Linux show or new development ?. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
Microsoft's anti-piracy wind blew down the Tomato Garden and quickly disbanded Yu Linmu, another well-known Windows system installation CD-making team. But in less than a year, Yu linmufeng pushed the Chinese customized version system, but this time it chose Linux. Can Yu Linmu Feng's behavior be recognized? Where will customized Linux go?
Customized Chinese edition
In July, Yu linmufeng launched a Chinese custom edition based on Fedora 11 and a customized edition based on the popular desktop release Ubuntu in August. In the same period, Chinese versions of Linux have also been released for many other versions, such as oxygen Ubuntu and the pioneer Ubuntu. a strong Chinese customization style of Linux has been brought to the fore.
The Linux Chinese Custom Edition is intended for Chinese users and mainly uses simplified Chinese. the source and source versions based on these editions are popular Linux desktop distributions, such as Ubuntu or Fedora. Compared with mainstream Linux distributions, several public releases of the Linux chinese version are basically the same, namely, beautifying the interface and reducing the difficulty of getting started.
Easy to install. Customized versions are mostly based on the maker's understanding of Chinese users' usage habits. some even combine the experience of Windows customized versions to simplify the installation process of Linux and make Linux installation more "stupid" and intelligent.
The interface is more beautiful. Most of the interface styles of mainstream Linux releases are quite satisfactory, while the Linux Chinese version is as large as the pop-up screen, logon interface background, desktop background, and topic style during system startup, fonts and symbols in the system can be customized as needed to meet users' personalized needs.
Easy to use. Customized edition has made a lot of effort in the ease of use of the system. it strives to reduce the difficulty of using the system, provide graphical system optimization tools, and provide a variety of desktop environments and switching tools, some also provide software sources in China, providing great convenience for users.
Pre-installed common Chinese software. For many reasons, some Chinese software cannot be added to some released software sources, while the Linux Chinese edition is preinstalled with some popular or commonly used software, such as QQ For Linux and Ubuntu Tweak system configuration and optimization tools, so that new users do not have to spend a limited amount of energy to install software in unfamiliar systems. at the same time, these software is mostly cross-platform software, this makes it easy for users who have just switched from Windows to Linux to eliminate psychological fear.
Chinese custom version
A large number of customized Linux systems have emerged, because many of the operating habits of the original Linux are very different from those of Windows, making it difficult for many users who are used to Windows. Although the mainstream Linux distributions are also doing system optimization, they still fail to eliminate these obstacles, which gives Linux chinese version makers full space.
Previously, the most widely used products, such as rain, wood, depth, and Tomato Garden, were optimized and customized for the Windows operating system. They optimized and integrated Windows to meet users' needs and habits. Therefore, the optimized and integrated Windows customized edition quickly became red, the initial unintentional actions even created an underground industry.
However, Windows is Microsoft's copyright product. due to its serious piracy problems, it finally caused a wide range of anti-piracy actions by Microsoft. The author of the Tomato Garden was arrested and pushed to the forefront of public opinion and law. at that time, many underground Windows modification teams stopped or disbanded.
Due to Microsoft's great copyright, fans of OS customization and modification can only give up modifying the Windows operating system and choose a system that does not involve legal issues. Linux may be the best choice. It is the world's most well-known free and open source software that allows users to make any form of modifications. it has developed over decades and has a very good mass base.
