We believe that Linux has made major leaps in the recent past and it just might be getting ready to claim its place in more and more hard drives and screens! Beautiful user interfaces, easy software installations and greater hardware compatibility are only a few things that seem to be the focus of modern Linux distributions. We liked what we saw with some of them and so we thought to offer it as an option for our PCs.

Of course Linux still faces some obstacles. Although it is much more happy to play along modern hardware than it used to be there are still gaps in drivers and hardware support especially to some kinds of peripherals and cutting edge hardware. Other than that playing back all sorts of media is not as easy as in other platforms especially when it comes to DRMed media including DRMed music and movies and the heavy DRM on the playback of new HD disks is almost certain to leave Linux in the cold.

Finding solutions to these problems can take a serious amount of time and effort and here is where we come! We are currently updating our store to add a special Linux supporting hardware section. We are planning to offer PCs that are exclusively based on Linux or dual boot configurations with your preferred flavour of Windows! Stay tuned and let us know what you think!
