    Linux, the open-source operating system that uses a penguin as its symbol, offers plenty of advantages yet its only rarely seen on private computers.

    The reason why is easily explained. "The normal PC user usually buys his computer with a pre-installed operating system such as Windows and usually has no incentive to go to the trouble of installing Linux, says Keywan Tonekaboni, who writes desktop tips for an industry magazine.

    As you may have noticed, Raspberry Pi boards may get hard to get and/or be sold at excessive prices by some resellers. Eben Upton explains the reasons behind the Raspberry Pi Shortage and provides some recommendations to work around the shortage and high prices.

    [09:56] schestowitz

    Raspberry Pi Trading is still manufacturing around 500,000 Raspberry Pi boards or modules per month despite the global semiconductors shortage, and the issue they face is more of a demand shock than a supply shock with demand for Raspberry Pi products having increased sharply from the start of 2021 and remains unabated as the supply chain can not handle that extra demand at this time. That means distributors have backlogs in [09:56] schestowitz almost all products, and it takes time for customers to get their orders.
