Here is a recording of tonight's Live Audio Stream for Monday, October 25, 2021, for those who could not be there. (Telegram titled the file name as October 26, but it is actually for October 25.) On tonight's audio stream, JP started by describing this Jeff.pro Telegram channel and what it is all about. Then, one of our original Jeff.pro channel chat admins, Well Welker, answered Linux questions for several of our chat room members and finished by talking about the chicken farm hs runs in Idaho!

I listened to the entire conversation this evening, it's fun to hear everyone who's excited to switch to Linux. I hope more questions come as the community grows!

I've dabbled with it these last 5 years, and am pretty comfortable installing Linux on many different devices, (except Arch Linux).

Listening to Susan/Susie having problems with installing Linux on her Lenovo brought to mind an issue I had when I tried downloading Mint on my friends Lenovo.

Depending on what iso image creator she used, could cause the boot issues. I found I had problems using Rufus for some versions of Debian and Ubuntu distros with Lenovo hardware. I've had the most luck using balenta etcher creating bootable iso's. Yumi is my second go too, but I have had some success with Rufus. Mainly when creating bootable Fedora iso's.

Hope this helps someone in the community! Keep it growing, FOSS is the future!

I finally did it!

Two months ago I succeeded in installing Linux mint cinnamon on my 2008 MacBook. That creates a monster. Now I’m taking free programming classes on Edx, starting up classes in a month for Comptia Security certification and it’s all JP’s fault!!!

I have successfully installed Mint on my 2010 iMac. The Mac Bluetooth keyboard is not work so I used a USB Windows keyboard. To enter the boot selector originally, I held down the Mac Option button. Now that Mint is installed and the Windows keyboard is in use, any ideas which key will enter the boot selector on startup? I’d like to test out other distros live.

sudo apt purge Brandon

Nice! Working on Network+ and Linux+ myself.

If I can do it, anyone can. You guys got this

What are peoples opinions of Freedom Phone

No dumb questions here. You can check out System 76, Star Labs for computers, and Rob Braxman for phones. Dell also offers a laptop with a Linux distro on it I believe (maybe Ubuntu). Sorry for not providing links, I'm on a roof at the moment, but will gladly find it and link it here in a bit. 👍

I would love to change, but I have so many questions. Will it work , for example, with Office…..spreadsheets, Word,etc. Or is it proprietary?

Same. I was excited to buy the freedom phone but once I looked into it more, didn't like what I saw. The silver lining is that it turned me on to other options. I'm happy with the de-googled phone I got on eBay.

I am looking for a new phone but it’s a bit overwhelming.

Great place to look is Back Market. They sell refurbed electronics and are very reasonably priced. Also, their customer service is second to none. I had a great experience with them about a week ago. What I purchased from them was rated "good" condition but it looks and operates like a brand new phone.

Tomorrow evening join jeff.pro founder Jeffrey Peterson for a special Live Audio Stream @ 8:00pm EST, where Jeff will provide details about what is sure to be one of the most talked-about tech projects for the new year, Mobile Linux and the Mobile App Store!

I got an old Pixel 3a from Swappa for $100 and switched it to Calyx this week.

IMHO Linux is the future. As soon as my Pixel 3a arrives will put Ubuntu Touch on it.

I have a pretty dumb question: when I want to put a distro on my computer, I download it onto a thumb drive and then install it. No problem there. My question is if I want to install programs like neofetch or word ops where do they come from? Do I go to a website to find them?

Linux is used on about 75 percent of servers I believe. Ubuntu and others are eventually going to take over the market. People are becoming disenfranchised with the other Operating Systems out there.
