A positive article about Linux…nobody cares
Windows 8.0/8.1 has been around for a while and users have had the opportunity to evaluate and test.
Linux Kernel 3.13 has just been officially out. It will take some time for the numerous distributions to update to this kernel level and developers plus users to express their likes and dislikes.
At this point in time, it cannot be told if Kernel 3.13 will be a good thing or a not-so-good one.
I’m not sure summarizing the 3.13 kernel changelog can be considered “a positive article about linux”. Regardless, it’s an average kernel update, not a huge leap forward in any way so what do you really expect?
I guess they won’t be fully integrating the GoboLinux file system until the next kernel release.
