Yes, thank the LORD most importantly!!🙏✝️🇺🇸🦅

I really want to leave GMAIL, but I am so used to all the office applications and storage. I am very well aware that if is is free, in the end we, the users, are the product. My question is, besides proton mail, which email provider is in your opinion safe nowadays? Even if it means paying for it? Thank you.

15 years old and still cookin thanks to Linux. Win 10 is on there only for a few apps I have lifetime updates on.

My specialty in the military was electronics repair, component level, 12 years, it's what I was doing when the "FIRST" MAC computer came out. Already had an ibm PC with a whopping 250 mb drive. Been building desktops ever since, My down fall, never learning the program side of things. Well until now, Thank you Jeff, I am trying a whole new angle here, it's rough with 30 plus years of bad habits using MS. 😎😎

I have a 2017 or so MacBook Pro. Is it possible for me to put Manjaro or Kali on it, or is it too Néw? Anyone know?

Ubuntu loaded on my Acer Spin-SP111-33. We now have no computers in our house tied to big tech.

I have a MS Surface Book 2 that I'd like to install Linux. What are the best options?

Everyday I read of another device happily disconnecting from big tech.
It is very refreshing to read about the numbers of owners who have learned how to install the various versions of Linux to allow them to put big tech behind them.

Unfortunately I'm forced to use Windows for college, but my personal machine is actually a Linux virtual machine within the windows laptop.

I run Oracle VM virtualbox to host the virtual machine. It's kind of nice because I can try many different flavors of Linux by just making a new virtual machine, I don't have to install it on a real computer to try it out, and it only takes about ten minutes to make a new one.

What happens when one of the World's most notorious advocates for Digital Freedom gets together with a bunch of Freedom-loving Digital Patriots?

Find out tomorrow evening, Wed. Jan 26th, 2022 as we host the co-founder of the GNU/Linux Operating System, Dr. Richard Stallman, in a special presentation on the Jeff.pro Telegram channel from 7:00pm to 9:00pm EST.

I'm ready to go Linux with my mid 2014 Macbook Pro. From what I've read, Ubuntu seems the way to go. My hesitation arises from the many pictures and important docs I have on this computer. I can save on external drive...but is there some kind of conversion process that I'll need to figure out? I don't want an OS that can't read my files. I'm not super tech savvy. Any advice is appreciated!

Exactly. Once you exit Windows, you are free and no operating system can contain you. There are no "wrong" choices with the various Linux distributions because none of them are designed own you, control you and prevent you from leaving.

Right on.
There is a storm headed your way big tech.

Can anyone on this channel suggest a laptop for someone who wants to get away from Microsoft etc al?

can I post a picture?

Starting in the 1980's, Richard Stallman (L) and then Linus Torvalds (R) created the GNU+Linux computer Operating System. Available in numerous distribution versions, called "Distros," GNU+Linux runs on hundreds of millions of computers worldwide, today.

In development for more than 30 years, GNU+Linux is "Free as in Freedom," returning Digital sovereignty back to the people, allowing you to operate your computer, your laptop, and in the future...your Mobile device, independent of 'big tech' OS's that lock you in and spy on you, like Microsoft Windows.

Stallman, for many years, has been viewed as the most recognizable "anti-Bill Gates" figure by the international technology community due to his stubborn, never-ending advocacy for Digital Freedom.

Thank you Stallman and indeed Jeff! Linux mint now running on an old laptop so bugged by Windows it barely ran. Now it's smooth and there's life in the old girl yet! Thanks to this telegram!

I installed Linux Mint on Original (1st) MS Surface and it runs great. Fast and smooth.

My dad was responsible for naming the mascot, TUX after Torvald’s Unix. He swore by Linux then and swears by it now.

Press Release just hit the news wires.

GNU/Linux Co-Founder, Dr. Richard Stallman to speak to the Jeff.pro Technology User Group, today Wed. Jan 26th, 2022, 7:00pm - 9:00pm EST.
