Where is linux going next?

Posted in April 28th, 2012

Linux, has been and it is the most ported operating system (or should I say kernel ?!!!) so far. I’ve seen it on PC’s, mobile phones, routers, servers of course, maiframe computers, tablets and so on. Yes many of you might say  ”Hey there’s Android on my tablet!”, but just let me refer to wikipedia, which says: “Android is a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices …” . Right even Android is Linux-based and yet very succesful.

Isn’t that fact a punch in the face for the pople who might say “open source can’t sell”. It sells and worths every penny because it is developed  by enthusiasts and not some bored-coder-porn-addicted :P .

Open-Source is often the best choice in many applications – yeah even IT security – since an open-source product has been tested and improved by a lot of people.

Now, as the article title says, I am very curious of the  more crazy/interesting/cool devices on which linux was ported, so far. So let’s see what I came up with:

Linux on iPod

Yeah, that’s really cool and I am sorry for you Apple-fans but the penguin is so hungry it will eat up your iPod too. Well iPod it’s no more a “must have” device but if you had one and forgot it somewere in your basement , playing with linux on it will sure make you love it again. See http://ipodlinux.sourceforge.net/ .

Linux on GameBoy

Who dindn’t had one, or didn’t wanted a GameBoy as a kid? Well I’ll give you a tip: if you want to impress your friend with your “new Tablet” :P try a linux for it. See http://www.kernelthread.com/publications/gbaunix/ .

Linux on Nintendo DS

That’s really a crazy one. I mean why? “Because it’s possible” – sombody answered. Ahem, so if you don’t like the original games you might wanna try linux. See: http://www.dslinux.org/ .

Linux on i”Shit” (iPad, iPhone etc.) and “xxx”droid devices

Those “linux” guys seems to take care of everything. They just can’t stop porting linux. See: http://www.idroidproject.org/ .

Well, linux seems to run everywhere, but let’s see the most crazyest device running linux:

Linux in your car : yes, as it was ported on Navysurfer I and II. Now you can enjoy linux while driving or having sex in your car :P . See the product here: http://shop.vic-ltd.com/product_info.php?products_id=12025 .

What’s your favourite device running linux?

 

Linaro is a non-profit organisation that aims to help making open-source embedded software and apps, development easier and faster.
Linaro is sponsored by ARM, Freescale, IBM, Samsung, ST-Ericsson and Texas Instruments.

When comes to open-source, the first thing that comes to my mind is Linux – so they are about to help improving linux to match embedded hardware profiles. And next we may observe they wont have any headaches walknig on this road as we know proved linux portability – see Google’s Android architecture, based on linux kernel,  the Motorola A1212 running linux OS or the MeeGo . Linux can fire them all.

One again thanks Mr. Torvalds! Down here is the organisation chart:
