G'day Frens,

Like many, I am giving big tech the two-fingered salute and moved from Win10 to Ubuntu a couple of weekends ago.

Despite building a solid Win10-based gaming PC, this poor simple Aussie is swimming up s**t creek without a paddle when it comes to this. Way over my head! :rofl:

Thanks to those who have formed this forum and community on such a short time frame, i'm sure Linux is going to get a lot of attention in the coming months.

Reading telegram, making notes in Cherrytree, playing solitaire all at once - with the Vivaldi browser ready in the background. All this would bog down this desktop in no time when it was a Windows Machine. Linux is a beautiful symphony of code. 😍
And that disk cover is Transport Tycoon Deluxe (I am heavily into simulation games).

Wow!! Fabulous interview!! I am one month into this adventure--a granny who is doing this--and the freedom feels amazing! I converted two old laptops in the first week, started digging in to all the learning resources, bought a Linux OS cell phone, and all this from zero Linux knowledge! Its a journey, but I keep making progress day by day! An amazing support and encouragement group of very nice, regular folks @ Jeff.pro! So grateful my sis forwarded an intro to me! Congrats Jeff on this great podcast interview! Don Jr's words were so kind and encouraging too! Thank you!!

I tried both of them & Mint gave me graphic issues, would install then restart and failed, then tried Kubuntu which is Ubuntu with the KDE desktop & other software pre-installed like Libreoffice & that worked a treat & got this running on 3 computers now. So if you find one flavour of Linux doesnt work there are plenty of other distro's that could then work instead & best bit is they are all free, so easy to go-ahead and try.

Yes. I think people are ready to purchase or work with any OS that is Linux with freedom from data capture. People want ease and convenience. If there was an easy and convenient and private OS, what would happen to the OS industry.

Back Market is great. Just had an instance this week where their customer service went above and beyond.

What about Linux for phones?

Ubuntu touch is my daily Driver on a Pixel 3a XL.

I like your attitude. You might try Ubuntu 21.04. I have seen that solve NVIDIA driver issues.

I bought a PinePhone64 Any thoughts?

Happy Saturday, Friends! Join me at 8:00pm EST today for a special Live Stream (audio). We will discuss 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 the plans of this Jeff.pro community to make a difference in the future of the technology industry in America.

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

I just installed Linux Mint 20.2(uma) on my MacBook Pro retina 2015. There is no way back. love it !

Has anyone looked into the raspberry pi kits? I wanted to buy one but not sure if I should buy the extreme, starter, or max kit. The only thing about the extreme kit is that it doesn’t have a fan but it has a bigger MicroSD cardboard
