Ich bin ein Berliner… der Linux nutzt… Kek…
New Microsoft headquarters in Kiel soon?
what OS do you think theyll use, my money is on either Elementary, or Mint
I hope neither of those. They should get one with an actual company behind it. There’s Suse Linux which is based in Germany and would probably make a good fit.
As much as I love Mint on my devices, I agree with this sentiment. Suse would certainly be cool.
Yeah I’d love them to use Mint or Debian or Arch or Fedora or whatever, but I also think it’s important for this project to succeed. And you need good support for success.
There’re quite a few unknowns…
- we don’t know what form-factor these 25,000 computers have (how many are tablets, for example?)
- we don’t know their specs (RAM, speed, &c.) and
- we don’t know their architecture…
There might need to be more than one distribution used.
(It’s a pity that Ubuntu’s Unity8 was abandoned, and that UBPorts’ Lomiri / Debian’s Lomiri are still work in progress…)
Well… it’s going to need to be
- something that’s easy to adopt / adapt to and
- something that’s going to be maintained (so it’ll have to be one of the big GNU/Linux players).
