Just finished my 3rd device upgrade -the 2nd with Ubuntu studio. However this one has a touchscreen, which ive still to get working. Only 2 more devices to go & im “Windows booted”

1. It took about 4 hours for me to figure out what to do and about 5 minutes to upload to the updated computer.
2. I got a computer with the os already removed. Got it from the local college surplus. That's true about the USB. You can also install from DVD.
The most challenging part was figuring out how to ready the file to upload to new device. My brother tried to help but he was more confusing. I ended up following a video and using etcher. I am going to have to do it again because I messed something up and couldn't open Libre programs after I took the jump five out. I am certain iits because of how I had the boot menu preference. Anyway, I'll share an update when it's working smoothly.

Happy Wednesday, Friends! Join me at 8:00pm EST today for a special Live Stream (audio). We will discuss where we go from here, the next 30 days! We will talk about what it takes to fix 'big tech' tyranny in America and how we the people must stand up and take action about 'big tech' abuses before the technology industry gets much further along its current path.

We will discuss our Linux for Beginners course. And, we will talk about future growth plans for our digital community!

Talk to you on the Live Stream at 8:00pm EST tonight, here on this Telegram channel!

Insane... I bought an old LG Nexus 5 phone and loaded Ubuntu touch... Put my SIM card in it and BOOM...WOW

Here is a replay recording of tonight's Telegram voice call, Wed Oct. 13th, 2021, for those who could not be there live. In the call, JP talked about where we go from here, after the first 30 days of our new Digital educational community for American Patriots. Then we talked about interesting messages in our technology chat room, and what Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and the Linux Operating System mean for the United States of America.

We discussed our new technology forum message boards, start connecting with other Patriots to learn how to take back your Digital Freedom with Linux and FOSS -> https://forums.jeff.pro

Learn how to leave 'big tech' behind, a lot of you are starting to see there's a better way to run your mobile device, your computer, with Free and Open Source Software, and Linux. It's the right thing to do, changing your technology devices to Linux is one of the best decisions you will make! 🇺🇸

I've been using Budgie for a few days now. I love it so much I don't want to turn my Mac on again. I'll probably only use that for tests I have to take online. It's such a great feeling to be on Linux. Thank you!

Front page, Washington Post, today. "You've decided to quit Facebook."

Don't ever let them tell you that things can't change fast with technology, because throughout recent history, in the tech sector, change has been the only constant.

If you are one of the 400 Patriots in our Linux for Beginners ongoing course, Course 8 is up and available on the LMS!

Course 8 is a more technical look at a scenario in Linux where you may want to expand the storage capacity of your Home folder.

Congrats to our chat admin, Vasileios Kontodimas, for his great work on Course 8!

If any of you find Course 8 "too technical," don't worry, we will be back to Beginner topics in the next course!

I got a new "factory unlocked" pixel 3xl on Ebay for about 200. They are not from any carrier, and can be rooted. There were 2 sellers of these, and might still be selling them.

That’s my plan as well. Once i get the hang of the phone I’m going to look for a degoogled tablet and ultimately switch desktop to Linux.

See Robert Braxman on YouTube, he's a phone & 'non traceable' wizard.

I also deleted FB and Twitter. I’m still amazed at all the people still on there who get shadow banned and are in violation of the rules made just for Republicans🙃

I took me a year to wean myself off, because I was concerned I wouldn't be able talk with friends. I have found them elsewhere. I'm glad I dumped those sites now.

Wow!

3 weeks ago I had heard of Linux before but knew ZERO about it…

And now…

I’m soaking up as much as possible! And today, I created my first input/output/if/then Shell script!

Elementary from what a lot of "vets" here know I’m sure haha, but I’m hoping to have my RHCSA, RHCE, then Ansible certs in the next few months.

THIS is life-changing and I am very thankful.

Thanks JP and Vasileios👊

Worth looking into options.

T-Mobile is very competitive in coverage and much better for International travel these days. Coming from a Verizon customer that has been overseas and throughout the US in the past 5 years. T-Mobile co-workers had great service for less $$ and no cost roaming overseas for short trips. Meanwhile Verizon was $10 a day for me. My new Patriot Mobile service is riding on T-mobile in my home area working fine. Google Store Pixel Phones are unlocked. I think most non-carrier phones are unlocked.
