Linux is the more secure, robust, highest performing Operating System on the planet. It is assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution.
Why is everyone switching to Linux? Two words… “Open Source” Open source is publicly shared intellectual property. When it comes to Linux, every aspect of the operating system’s source code is “open” and does not have licensing restrictions that limit use, modification, contributions or redistribution. Linux is the most popular example of an open source technology. This innovative way of using a computer is far superior to commercialized operating systems because of the Linux community. We want to know what our operating system is doing, a luxury you do not have with any other OS. For much of the last decade, this type of freedom has only been available to the technically advanced.
Recently, the Linux community has reached the point where this exciting Operating System is being made available to everyone. Now, we’re taking it a step further, and making Linux mobile. Linux is the most secure operating system on the market, and with open source applications, you don’t have to pay license fees to some big corporation. Our laptops include free seurity updates, and the assurance that you’re important data has never been more secure with Linux.
When you purchase a Linux laptop, you generally want to get 4-6 years of service from the machine. You should therefore buy from a company that has proven staying power. In a market where other vendors come and go, you need to select a laptop provider that has healthily weathered the storms of the dot-com bust and has the tenacity and commitment to be here for you for the long haul. We have been here for the entire history of the Linux laptop concept, and we are its’ future.
