I made this poster for an Ubuntu Poster competition, which I luckily won. Yey! <start commercial mode> if you like it, get some here [link] <end commercial mode>
I made it beacause I kind of like Ubuntu... the worm colours and the philosophy of it all...
The poster artwork was released with GPL licence and a version is also available with Creative Commons public licence.
refer to ubuntuforums [link] if you want to know where to find the sources.
I don't know if you can call it better... it depends.
It's not better if you look at what the os is capable of, it's not better for hardware support, and it's not better for a lot of other things...
but it's a question of thinking fordward, OSS is increasingly becoming the only alternative for people who value freedom. We all know what they have been doing with Vista, and to be earnest, although Apple has certainly a much better attitude in this regard, it's not really breaking new freedom ground either. OSS is the alternative if you don't want all the crap on your computer, if you don't want to be spied all the time, if you're sick and tired with people crippling the content you paid for with drm...
And lately I've got this feeling that really interesting new stuff often comes out of the open source field.
Apart from linux having some really nice apps I miss a lot on other plattforms.
you`re right.
my comment wasn`t elaborated in its content.
i am not a friend of monopoly in case of economic positions.
the idea of open source is great, because users identify them selfs with the product and also don`t get criminated by using free software, instead of downloading and sharing copyrighted software.
..keep in mind, that a lot of ppl today are able becauase of their intelligence to realize what they have in mind by using computers..like making tv, art, music etc..hardware is expensive, but to effort high end software..
this kind of autonomy is pretty much needed and appreciated. different people have different ideas and if they share their knowledge, they reach higher level and better results. vigilantness is a good indicator for making existing things better by optimizing them and all are happy, because they all
accomplish pieces of the puzzle.
Exactly!
anyway... I understood what you mean, I just wanted to add something to it.
Right now my aim is to get a somehow working ubuntu graphics workstation... let's see how far I can get... unfortunately there is some good tools on linux, but most of them are kind of not ready for production or lagging far behind their proprietary counterparts... but on the other hand... I'd like to see how far I can get by just using free software!
if i remember right i saw a car navigation system working with ubuntu on web.
so nothing seams to be impossible.
good luck, hope you succeed it and thanks for replying.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
