Executive Viewpoint 2019 Prediction: IGEL – Linux Will Power Virtualization Growth
The rapid adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), continued transition of workloads to the cloud, and the enterprises’ ever-increasing pressure to protect data in a connected world are three key happenings that will drive the growth use of Linux in 2019 and beyond.
There are an estimated six billion IoT devices in use today, and the vast majority of these devices are running a Linux kernel. If analyst estimates are correct, the number of IoT devices will increase exponentially over the next few years, and all of these devices will be communicating with virtualized data collectors. According to Gartner, there will be 20.4 billion connected devices by 2020. Most of these will be running a Linux kernel.

What is QEMU in Linux?
QEMU is free and open source (FOSS) hardware virtualization toll developed by Fabrice Bellard distributed under GPL license. It supports a wide range of operating systems including Windows and MacOS. Bochs, PearPC, etc. are similar, but do not have many of its features, such as high-speed and cross-platform features. It is like VirtualBox and VMware virtualization software but natively it is command based tool unlike the two mentioned. To get the near-native speed of hardware in a virtualization environment one can use it with the KVM with the help of hardware extensions such as Intel VT-x.
qemu of 0.9.1 and earlier can use the kqemu accelerator. In the version after qemu1.0, kqemu cannot be used , mainly using the qemu- kvm acceleration module, and the acceleration effect and stability are significantly better than kqemu.

Best Free Virtualbox Alternative for Linux
Hundreds of different Linux distros are around over the internet and we cannot install all of them our PC for testing or learning purposes. However, one thing we can do is to run them on Linux as virtual machines to experience before actually switch to a new Linux Distro.
For Windows, there are lots of Virtualization software available those let you install almost any kind of operating system virtually but what about Linux the users? When we talk about Virtualization on Linux, Windows or MacOS, the first Virtual Machine creating software comes in our mind is Oracle’s VirtualBox. This virtualization solution is also open source and free to use but wait, does any other solution or software is available, especially for the Linux operating system. As I said, Windows and MacOS have a couple of good Virtualization options available but all these solutions are not available for Linux distros because of their sundry nature.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
