Desktop and All-in-One Arm Linux computers launched with Baikal-M processor

The last time we wrote news about Baikal Electronics, the Russian company was offering MIPS-based processors, but they've now announced that several iRU-branded desktops and one all-in-one computer had been introduced with Baikal-M octa-core Cortex-A57 processor with Mali-T628 GPU, and support for up to 32GB DDR4 RAM, up to 3TB HDD.

The computers target the Russian market, especially business to business (B2B) and business to government (B2G) customers, with the use of Astra Linux distribution that contains Russian "data protection tools" such as ViPNet SafeBoot, PAK Sobol, and others.

[...] The all-in-one version of the computer pretty much has the same features with up to 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 3TB HDD, and a 23.8-inch IPS display with Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution.

    Sure thing, we had the age of the Linux Desktop many times now. It's going to be this time, for sure, though.

    In reality, the masses are going to go with the dumbest solution. Linux requires you to rub two neurons together, thus the masses don't adopt it. I mean, Android worked and it's based on Linux. They assume people are stupid though, so it works.

    Perhaps it's not the case any more - difficulty I mean. A few years back I got tired of Windows issues on my wife's laptop and I gave her a Linux one. It was Dell and true it took me a day or so to set it up right even though Linux was preinstalled. Since then the only thing I do is remotely execute update command when she sleeps. Anyway, perhaps I am biased, but maintenance of a Linux system is way simpler for me. I am sure any reasonable company could do an initial install right.
