2013, the year of ARM Linux on the desktop?

morgaine
morgaine over 13 years ago

Very belatedly, may all of you at Element 14, staff and group members alike, have a

 

Very Happy New Year. image

 

I haven't been able to participate here for 3 weeks or so owing to festive tie ups, very interested in catchng up with recent events.  I have the feeling that 2013 is going to be a year to remember in the ARM Linux space.  The Raspberry Pi shook up the entire sector in 2012 with its price point and its popularity, and undoubtedly the other ARM licensees are not going to sit by passively while only one company gets all the popular exposure.  Freescale's recent release of i.MX6 is sure to be followed by TI and Samsung and ST and many others with similar devices, encouraged by the public's huge apetite for tablets, smartphones and media devices.   My guess is that it's going to be an amazing year to watch on the ARM hardware front.

 

All the best to all of you!  Have a great 2013 !!! image

 

Morgaine.

 

PS. The title is a play on one of Slashdot's common memes .... "the year of Linux on the desktop", which seems to never arrive.  But with "ARM" added in there, it just might!

    Hello Morgaine Dinova and the group!

     

    As being a pure, soon die-hard Linux geek in which everything in my world runs Linux, I couldn't pass by this thread. My Raspberry Pi doesn't compete with my Android Fleet... It just has close friendships! :-)

     

    For those that don't already know, I'm living life on a shoestring. It's hard...

     

    As for the ARM Linux on the Desktop... It's a monochrome screen; the way I started Linux 15+ years ago. When it comes to the Raspberry Pi, it is FAST. And no, I don't miss that Eye Candy that others claim to be a "desktop"... image

     

    Happy New Year, Everybody!
