Chapter 185 (1/2)

If you look back from 2013, you have to say a genie in the history of Smartphone development.

His name is Linus tovaz, a Finn who created the Linux system at the age of 21. He has the worship of countless enthusiastic designers and programmers. He is known as one of the top ten hackers in the United States, but he is the most visible person in it - the federal government of the United States dares to arrest several other hackers, but he dares not say what about Linus, Otherwise, designers and programmers across the United States will riot.

what?

You don't know what a Linux system is?

In a few years, you may be dazzled by a term called Android system.

This mobile phone and tablet operating system called ”Android system” in Chinese is a commercial version based on Linux.

In other words, without Linus, you can only use Apple's IOS or Nokia's Symbian in the future.

Moreover, Linux is not only the use of mobile phones and tablets, but also its kernel is widely used in routers, computers, supercomputers and so on.

In the future, the ten supercomputers with the fastest computing speed in the world, without exception, use the Linux system, which shows its leading technology.

Of course, Linux is an open source platform.

Linus' idol is Richard storman, the father of free software. After he created Linux, he allowed users to develop, design and sell system products designed based on Linux through universal free authorization. However, as long as you use Linux system, your products developed based on this must also disclose the source code, And it's free.

So now you know why Android is an open platform?

It's not that Android doesn't want to learn IOS to monopolize, but it can't.

Because Linus has asked to do so since the beginning. Whatever Andy Robin, the father of Android, forced him, he had to follow the original source code and open the Android system.

But it is precisely because of Linus' unselfish behavior that so many designers and programmers worship him, constantly gather under the Linux system platform, and constantly help improve and improve the functions of Linux, so as to make Linux more and more perfect.

Through the occurrence of some things in later generations, Xiao Qi actually doesn't agree with open source code. What he wants is a closed operating system platform.

There has been a constant debate on the two aspects of closeness and openness since the birth of electronic products. Neither side can convince anyone.

You can say that Android will occupy 70% of the market share in 2012, but you can't deny that the Apple phone created by others' IOS system accounts for 70% of the total profit of the mobile phone market!

Xiao Qi doesn't know which of these two methods is better or worse, but he knows what he wants is only a closed operating system platform.

In Xiao Qi's view, an open platform is the retrogression of society!

All the hardships of designers are destroyed by open platforms. Pirated software and games emerge one after another. They enjoy the painstaking achievements of design developers, but they don't have to give designers and developers a penny at all!

This is to make the cow tired to death and not feed on grass!
