Google Chrome OS impacts Linux desktop

Article Title: Google Chrome OS impacts Linux desktop. 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.

The ultimate goal of Linux development is to bring people a perfect Desktop for work and entertainment, and the rest is second place. This is a bit absolute, but I have to say so now. Why?

In November 5, how did Google use Linux? I will not repeat the actual situation here. Google believes that the current operating system is a product before the internet Web age and should be customized for the Web world. As a result, Chrome browser and Chrome OS are thrown out. This idea is good. But who is Chrome OS targeting? What is its user base? This is the first thing to understand. Google said that there is a kind of person "nearly everything" ("almost everything") that needs to be done online, and Chrome OS is designed for them. This is also good. However, the actual situation is not so simple.

In the future, with the Internet and cloud computing, everything will become a Web service. Google is a typical concept. This idea is too absolute. On the contrary, Microsoft does not. Microsoft believes that in the future, it will not be SaaS, but S + S (software Plus service ). I support Microsoft's statement.

Historically, Linux originated from desktop simulation of Unix systems, with multiple tasks and multiple users. In essence, Linux is not suitable for individual users. After nearly 20 years of hard work, Linux desktop has gradually become a climate, such as Ubuntu desktop. This is the mainstream of historical development. In the next 20 years, the situation will become clearer. In fact, Google Chrome OS is only a branch of Linux, not the mainstream of Linux, and it has caused an impact (or weakened) on the mainstream of Linux ).

At present, the international Linux kernel development team is very active, with frequent results. The new office suite OOo.org, GNOME and KDE will be available soon. Various mainstream Linux desktop new versions have been released one after another, and Windows 7 has been surrounded by a great situation. Google's Chrome OS is just a mystery; Google's Chrome OS may become a joke. (At this moment, I look at the word "smile", and I just want to laugh in my heart. I will give up with a smile !)

I am using Ubuntu Remix 9.10 (Live USB ). I know that it is about to become a thing of the past. Remix 10.04, Remix 10.10,... will keep coming. The purpose of Ubuntu is to give a gift to all mankind: perfect desktop, while Chrome OS has a clear commercial purpose (to expand its user base), a copper smell. Who will save Linux? It's the grassroots, not the (Google.

It is said that Google Chrome OS (beta version) will be released tomorrow, so we will wait and see. Today, the Fedora 12 version is about to be officially released. this is also an important grassroots Linux desktop, ranking second in the world. please pay attention to it.
