It has taken efforts of "we the people" to tell the truth.

Apparently, more or less all commercial media is unwilling to investigate or report the truth.

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. July 23rd @ 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, we welcome new Linux learners to the class! We review why switching your computer from a big-tech Operating System like Microsoft Windows, to Linux, is one of the most important steps to protect your personal information and data today. We re-trace the history of this Jeff.pro Telegram group, how it started, where we've been, and where we're going!

Then, we revisit one of the topics you ask us to cover the most: The latest about LibreOffice for Linux. This well reviewed, completely FREE and open source software package is a complete replacement for Microsoft Office, on your new Linux system. Never pay another license fee to Bill Gates or his friends again! Even more important--get the power you need for your word processing or spreadsheets, and it's compatible with all popular file formats, including Word.

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!
