Desktop Linux Standards Learned Windows Compatible

  

The Free Standards Organization (FSG) has just released a new Linux Standard Base (LSB) 3.1 standard that incorporates compatibility requirements for desktop Linux systems and programs for the first time.


The purpose of LSB is to develop a unified starting point for Linux publishers based on standardized Linux operating system core modules. LSB's commitment to simplification of certification and the promotion of Linux allows software developers to run programs that run smoothly across all LSB-compatible Linux distributions.


The incompatibility of various versions of Linux is one of the important reasons why Linux can't occupy the mainstream of the desktop operating system market, and FSG thinks this is the advantage of Windows. Linux is here. Aspects need to learn from Windows.


LSB 3.1 also implements the compatibility of KDE and GNOME Linux graphical user environments, that is, software that conforms to this standard can run in both graphics environments.


FSG claims that the LSB standard is even more important in the desktop space than in the server space, because it allows software vendors to completely open up the operating system and concentrate on software development. .


IBM, HP, Novell, Red Hat, Sun, RealNetworks, Xandros, Debian, Ubuntu and many other Linux publishers and software developers have expressed their strong support for the LSB 3.1 standard. And plans to launch related products to challenge Microsoft and its Windows in the desktop operating system market.
