If I would like to give away computers to youth who need it I must also make sure that the computers they are using will be in good condition and with right programs. That will cost money because I have to get a computer expert to see all that through. Thankfully there are websites online that will help me with that. One of them is called pcmech. This website allows a person to go online and find out about there computers in simpler terms. It also lets us understand the development of technology since it is moving in a rapid pace.
I searched on this same site for open source software. I do not know if I will find any computers without Windows but I want to know other options. So I found an article that explains open source software called What does Open Source Really Mean? . In a summary it said that a code is allowed to change without any legal restrictions. Then I went on another search about Windows and Linux. For now I do not thing running on open source as I thought it would be because in the article called Can Linux replace Windows I saw what was happening inside computers. Microsoft has made the rules since it began. When Microsoft came out battles came tout on court. It was also good software at the time. The reason that it will be hard for Linux is because it needs software for Linux. The market has been in favor of Windows and have not thought about Linux in their machines. Ther is Wine which is an open source implementation like API in Windows that could be used for Linux Unfortunately,it is not perfect. The support as it says in the article is “spotty”. Virtual machines is another option but it is also hard to do.
