  • UberStudent is a free and open-source computer operating system and collection of programs aimed especially toward higher education and secondary students and their teachers and schools. The lead developer of the Linux distribution placed the project on hold in May 2019 due to his son being amid a protracted battle with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Dubbing itself "Linux for Learners", UberStudent describes itself as "a cohesive academic success curriculum integrated into an installable, easy-to-use, and full-featured learning platform" aimed at increasing overall student learning and academic computer literacy, and lifelong computer fluency. Its additional aim is to increase the adoption of free and open-source computing platforms, like itself, within higher education and secondary schools. It is designed around a "core academic skills approach to student success," which it describes as "the research and writing, reading, studying, and self-management skills that are essential to all students regardless of their academic major." UberStudent's current release is 4.3, dubbed Heraclitus. The distribution uses its own dedicated software repository. It can be run from a live CD, USB flash drive, or installed onto a computer's hard drive from either of those mediums. Support for the last published version, UberStudent 4.3, based on Ubuntu 14.04, ended in May 2019. As of May 26, 2019, the distribution's website went offline, while the domains are still owned by Uberstudent's lead developer, Stephen Ewen. Prior that date and afterward, per official statements made by Ewen on Uberstudent's official webpage, and added to in its lone public internet outlet afterward, Facebook. According to him, the project has been placed on hold, not discontinued or abandoned, because his son has been in a protracted battle with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which he detailed. (en)
