If you are one of the several hundred learners enrolled in our Linux for Beginners course, your invitations for tomorrow's Weekend Linux Workshop (to be held Sat. June 4th @ 5:00pm ET) are being sent out to your email right now! (If you can't be there live, the wekeend workshops are always recorded so you can watch them later on the LMS!)
This week: How will my computing change when I move my Digital World to FOSS and Linux? What you gain, what stays the same, and what's different after you finally recognize the abuses that were happening to you when your computing life depended on Microsoft Windows, and how Unix-like Systems such as Linux truly are the safest, most secure for you today and the future of your Digital life.
Installation methods: We explore installing your favorite email reader apps with the most common methods: Snaps, flatpaks, and appimage. What are the differences? How installing software in Linux is easier than the old method of "downloading .exe files" in Windows.
If you can't make it to this weekend's live workshop, don't worry, it will be recorded (as always) and posted in our LMS system, for you to view with your login and password, any time you like!

O God the King of glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph unto thy kingdom in heaven: We pray, leave us not comfortless; but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same place to which our Saviour Christ is gone before, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
