It is the basic of any of the operating systems and most innovative contemporary technologies and, of course, having to MuyLinux between our satellite sites is an additional stimulus. But as a rule we do not get out of what is the most basic consumer electronics, and the truth is that Linux is everywhere. Literally. In fact, it would be really difficult to make a complete list of examples that reflect the profound impact of the core Open Source in the industry today, just as it would do with GNU / Linux operating system. However, we will try to give a brief review of the matter with this gallery that has already begun.
PC
Linux was born to run on PC and the same could be said of GNU / Linux. And what if he has succeeded, even without reaching the levels of competition. Without going any further, recently it launched Ubuntu 16.04, the most popular GNU / Linux distribution on PC; used by companies, public administrations and common throughout the world users. And with Ubuntu moves the Dell XPS 13 you see in the image. Another example of Linux PC we have on Chromebooks, which are continuing.
Mobility
The mobile segment, read smartphones, is another story. Linux is at the heart of Android and Android is, with its strengths and weaknesses, the number one in their field. Other past, present and future examples are Firefox OS, Sailfish OS, Tizen or Ubuntu said. However, only Android and plenty enough to illustrate this section and some more.
Home appliances
And when we say appliances, we say in the broadest sense of the term, because it is known Linux refrigerators, washing machines, food processors, toasters, coffee makers, alarm clocks, multimedia centers … not always about products available anywhere, as part of this industry is starting now connected devices, but is an upward trend (there walks Android too). As an example we are left with the almost standard smart TVs; in particular, with new models governed by Firefox OS that prepared Panasonic.
Automotive
At this point it should be noted the pervasiveness of cutting the incidence of Linux in the industry of connected devices, the Internet of things or embedded devices (though these do not have to be connected), because as we have just seen borders overlap: calculators, routers, cow milking machines, precision riffles, gas detectors, tsunamis …? There is everything, even vehicles that would go from the wheelchair Stephen Hawking, to motorbikes and cars like the Tesla Model S with which we were.
Entertainment
Because not all are pure and hard clunkers, it is interesting to note that the special effects for movies like Avatar, Interstellar, The Hobbit, Gravity and many other (Weta Digital is at fault) have been made of farms Linux servers, but also desktop GNU / Linux. So beyond devices and specific functions, Linux and GNU / Linux are indirectly part of the most crowded entertainment. The image takes the blockbuster James Cameron and we must recognize that the effects, that at least it embroidered. Do the steam machine? Let’s give them some wiggle room, in need.
Business
But are not all or nearly all businesses? Yes, what fool. But if we go to the heart of darkness, the elemental business, there is still appearing Linux. Many of the major stock exchanges of the world work with GNU / Linux to be exact: more than 50% in 2012 did with Red Hat, SUSE but also holds a prominent position. By chance, the image is that of the London Stock Exchange London; as a curiosity, here in Spain the Tax Agency uses SUSE.
Servers
Again, but not all servers? Well, yes … and no. Everything is computer, but reducing it to that the gallery would have a single image. Therefore, what is interesting is not so much to get to the end, as summarized in the headline, as the ride itself. In fact, this section could have appeared at the top, because the server is the Star segment of Linux. For the image chosen is a pretty impressive data centers Google, but had to choose from: Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, Wikipedia … It goes without
ride the cloud.
Supercomputers
Another common space that is associated with Linux is the supercomputers and supercomputers, as preferred. The difference with everyone else, including servers and mobility, is that the share of Linux implementation of these hardware giants slashing 99%. Unheard; and achieved in 15 years. In the picture is the monster Chinese Tianhe-2, ruled by a modification of Ubuntu.
Art technology
Same old song: is not all tech? Depending on how you look, yes, of course. However, by drawing the fullest possible route to par I enjoyable, why not mention in this penultimate step one bicharraco as the USS Zumwalt, one of the most modern warships of the US Navy? Since we have gone through the private and the public, also we played military. If the FBI uses Linux, why not armed?
Science
However, we ended up with a positive attitude and the highest order that you can have, is that not only Linux or GNU / Linux are popular and highly valued in the world of science: free software and Open Source tends to be the choice majority in many cases by their own quality of open source which, among other things, allows for modification and distribution. Thus, it is not surprising that the penguin, but also the wildebeest are very present in the Great Hadron collided, or the Hubble Space Telescope, the European Space Agency and NASA or the International Space Station. The picture? It is Mars, taken by Curiosity. No, it moves not Linux … directly.
