Love, I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon and I'm a total noob...... LOVE IT.... it's so simple you'll laugh sat yourself for ever fearing it! Believe me!

I found my old Mac Book Pro. Thankfully remembered the PW by using the hints. It’s super slow! I also have a Time Machine. How do I start on the path to converting it?

The words of Christ are fruitful seeds,
Springing up in loving deeds.

The words of Christ are shining goals,
Beckoning courageous souls.

The words of Jesus are a host,
Conquering foes that loudly boast.

The Saviour's words are skilful guides,
Leading up the mountain-sides.

The Saviour's words are gentle rain,
Freshening the arid plain.

The words of Christ our life shall be,
Here and through eternity.

PRAYER

Father, we pray that the Holy Spirit will descend plentifully into our hearts, to enlighten us, strengthen us, and scatter within us cheerful, helpful beams of light. We ask this in Jesus' holy name.

So I hopped on the lms to go through Jeff's videos and watching lesson 20 Desktop Environments. I have Mint installed and while watching, installed KDE Plasma. Restarted and selected that DE. Started up great so far. Kinda blown away actually. Gonna go finish watching the lesson now.

Arch with KDE

And here is Plasma KDE running on Mint on an Acer Asper given to me for free by my S.I.L

My MS Surface Laptop 2 running KDE Plasma 5.18.8 in Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS.

On this Telegram channel, we teach you how to eliminate 'big tech' spying and abuses from your life by learning to use Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and the Linux Operating System. Linux is the future, it is Digital Freedom!

Start your Linux journey in our Technology forums -> forums.jeff.pro

Doing my first Linux install on a desktop machine. Will I need a wired keyboard in order to get through the install or will a wireless one be recognized and allow me to progress through it?

Today we are welcoming a number of new subscribers to the Jeff.pro Telegram channel.

Your host on this channel is Jeffrey Peterson, a life-long technology enthusiast, sometimes technology entrepreneur and former founder and CEO of a top-20 Social Network in U.S. history, QP/MeetMe, which grew to 40 million active users and a market value of $500 million under Peterson's leadership.

QP/MeetMe was a well known technology company that traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market for about 20 years. The company was acquired by Florida Venture Capitalist Richard L. Scott shortly before Rick became Governor of Florida. In March 2020, QP/MeetMe was sold to the German parent company of eHarmony and went private.

Can I download multiple Linux iso for different distributions? I have a 64GB jump drive. Can I put multiple iso os distros on this to choose whichever I need?

ATTN New Subscribers This Telegram channel was started in September 2021 amid concerns about the increasing privacy and control abuses of 'big tech' computer Operating Systems like Microsoft Windows over our computers and technology.

What good does it do to have 'alternate Social Networks' and Patriot-driven technology, if Americans (and the world) rely on only two 'big tech' Operating Systems -- Windows and MacOS -- to run all of our technology? The 'big tech' companies, Microsoft and Apple, who control our Operating Systems, have a master key to everything we do with our computers. They can spy on us without us knowing, shut us down, lock us out, impose any tyrannical measures they want, at a moment's notice. Many of us don't trust 'big tech' any more, we demand independence from the "government-big tech" state that censors, deplatforms, and all around hates us.

Jeffrey Peterson started the Jeff.pro channel to educate Patriots about a better way to do our computing -- Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and the Linux Operating System. Linux is a complete replacement for Windows at the "chip and system" level. Learning about Linux means taking the most important steps towards completley divorcing ourselves from 'big tech' and getting on the right paths to restore our Digital Freedom.

@Jeffrey_Peterson

On the Jeff.pro channel, you can learn a little each week about what it means to switch to Linux. It takes some time. Some of our subscribers moved after two, three, or four months ... yet the success and satisfaction rate of those who have moved to Linux is extremely high. There are thousands of Patriots in our technology chat room who say learning to use Linux has changed their Digital lives for the better.

After years of abuse by Silicon Valley 'big tech' companies and Microsoft, America's technology must be rebuilt. Unix-like (*nix) computer Operating Systems and Linux are the future!

@Jeffrey_Peterson

When I was installing distros on an older iMac the wireless keyboard and mouse gave me a lot of grief. So I bought a used mac wired keyboard and mouse, and everything was so much easier after that. Sometimes the wireless worked and sometimes it didn't. I found it easier to learn Linux when you don't have something frustrating like connection issues.

With Social Media talking about movie stars today, the admins of the Jeff.pro channel decided we would also post a picture of a movie star, while reminding everyone:

Today is a good day to think about taking back control of your Digital Life from the spying and abuses of 'big tech.'

@Jeffrey_Peterson

Telegram has proven to be a useful resource for Patriots. We at Jeff.pro are excited to see other new platforms emerging. We assume what those platforms do to earn trust will sort out which are the most popular, over time.

We remind Patriots that none of the new 'Alternate platforms' will have true Digital sovereignty, however, while they rely on the Apple and Google mobile app stores for distribution.

That 'big tech' dominance and control of Operatig Systems is what we aim to solve -- over time -- by, among other things, educating Patriots about O.S. alternatives and truly independent ways to work with our technology. This is the theme of our Jeff.pro channel -- alternatives to 'big tech' Operating Systems.

When the day comes that 'big tech' starts cracking down with even more censorship, control and surveillance than they already are, you will be thankful for the knowledge you have gained by following our channel. You will be ahead of the curve, because you will not be like most people, 'stuck' with a computer that relies on the Bill Gates-designed Microsoft Windows to function...you will have already have achieved Digital Freedom.

I started on Windoze in the 80s. I really enjoyed computing.
All the endless hoops I've had to jump through over the years in order to make something work right for me, pretty much killed any joy I ever got from it.
Until I found Linux when my 'free windows 10 upgrade' failed on my relic machine. That had to be around 2014 or so I guess.
Linux mint 17.3 I think it was. Still running the 10 year old relic with Mint 20.2 but getting USB hardware failure messages on it now.
So today off to buy a new off the shelf best buy machine.
Bring it home and get rid of the Windoze and put whatever iteration of Linux Mint it is now on it and should be set for the next 10 years. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
