Korora 26: A pretty elegant Fedora remix In the search of distributions of Linux with a good aspect I have found with Korora, already in previous occasions it has been spoken about this distribution based on Fedora here in the blog. Personally I did not know her, so when I read about her I decided to give her a chance. Initially Korora was born on the basis of Gentoo, which ceased to have support because the creator decided to abandon the project. But some years ago the project was resumed, but this time I take Fedora as a base and since then Korora Linux has been updating with each new release of Fedora. Korora to be based on Fedora without a doubt is a fairly robust and stable distribution, so it is distributed with the official packages and repositories of Fedora. The creator of Korora catalogs it as a Fedora Remix, but its approach is to provide a stable and simple to use system because the approach it has is to capture new users and that these do not have the greatest comp...

Manjaro 17.1.7 has been released We have not talked about one of the most alive rolling release distributions of the Gnu / Linux panorama. But that did not stop it from developing, much less. Today we can say that a new version has been launched with great improvements: Manjaro 17.1.7. A distribution based on Arch Linux that has been characterized as a distribution with versions with different desktops and window managers. This is not exclusive to Manjaro but it is true that Manjaro offers ISO images with the different desktops configured by default.

And we will also have with this new release an optimization for the Intel KabyLake chipsets. An optimization that other distributions do not have, not even Arch Linux, the mother distribution of Manjaro. Manjaro 17.1.7 incorporates the latest great updates of the Gnome and Plasma desktops. So the editions with the...

Oppo A73    The best budget smartphone? Oppo A73 has arrived on my desk, and I found this is, in fact, a “budget” phone. That should be the biggest selling point of the Oppo A73, you could use it for weeks and never feel like this is a phone you snagged for half the price of its competitors. To start with, the A73 has a classy feel to its design; like an iPhone and a Galaxy made sweet, sweet love, and this was the result. It feels good in the hand, it feels good in the pocket. Speaking as someone who likes a big screen, this is pretty much the perfect size. 6.0" FHD+   Full screen, exquisite body, larger screen. The A73 touch screen provides an almost boundless vision. A virtual home button is also available. Its 6.0” FHD+ full screen fits perfectly into a frame. The 2160*1080 pixel screen provides you with an immersive visual experience be it for surfing the web, browsing your photo albums, watching videos or playing games. The camera is one of the big sell...
