Thank you! I know enough of linux to use it but install will be an experiment for me. Fortunately I still have an old Toshiba laptop I can futz around with...will have to learn more b4 tackling the macbook...

I was going to ask Jeff what's your thoughts on degoogling a pixel phone with GrapheneOS or CalyxOS.

If you want to understand the CHIP shortage please share & read this article! Important to understand.

The great computer chip shortage of 2021 will likely get worse before it gets better. This conclusion was reached following brief study and anecdotal review.

Moreover, while COVID lockdowns may have initially triggered the shortage, several decades of shortsighted decisions and simmering geopolitical tensions make it much more than a matter of fixing a few broken links in the supply chain.

The world’s top two leading chip companies are Taiwan’s TSMC and South Korea’s Samsung Electronics. These two Asian firms, combined, control more than 70 percent of the semiconductor manufacturing market.

The U.S., which was once a leader, lags behind in chip manufacturing after major and shortsighted shifts in the business models in the semiconductor industry over the last 15 years. But this could change…

This is Negative Nate. He knows a lot about computers. But instead of helping Patriots get away from the "big tech" overlords, he uses his knowledge of computers to write complicated things that confuse and distract Patriots in our new technology community. He knows enough to know that learning about Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and the Linux Operating System empowers Patriots, but he hates our country, and he hates you. We don't know where Negative Nate comes from, bit we suspect it might be an ANTIFA camp in Portland. Negative Nate is not your friend. Watch out for, and don't be, a "Negative Nate!"

If you see a "Negative Nate" on our channel, report him to a chat administrator, so we can ban and delete him!!

it is a wonderful place to be exposed to all kinds of new information from people at all different experience levels!!!! ❤️ (J. Peterson says Rasberry Pi uses Linux)

People are definitely waking up.

This guy has 1.5 million followers on TikTok.

Glad to be a part of this group. My first computer system for Graphics were half million white elephants (Genigraphics Systems) back in the 80’s. I then switched to early Macs using Adobe, Aldus, etc… This is my first time using Linux on a MacBook Pro, so far I am very impressed

I am a SYSAdmin as well as a Web Developer. I run LinuxMint, as I know the team behind it and they are top notch and very protective over the code. As well I run Windows 11 in a Virtual Machine. So there you have it

This gives me hope.

I love Macs. Love them. Can’t stand Windows or Microsoft or Office (I also HATE that they control everything xbox).

I need a new computer - wondering if I shouldn’t buy a new Macbook and turn my old Macbook into my personal Linux computer.

Protection from spying, eavesdropping, data collection and much more… open source is the safest means of communication. You are in control with open source; not big tech.

Hey where did you get that picture of me? No not really. This is a safe place ! I’m glad I joined.

I certainly wouldn’t BUY anything from any of these godless commies like apple and google and microsoft! Improve an old device with Linux! Your dollars are your bullets!!! Don’t support these monopolies!

I have learned so much in this channel, from comments like this!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with everyone!! ❤️

Anyone else feel like this channel feels like drinking from a fire hose?

.............of good positive energy / information!!! yes!!!!!

If it’s too much just stay in the main room. It’s organized and provides space for answers. that’s what I have to do because the chat is overwhelming to me.

just pulled out two older lappies, going to add Linux Mint to them both later today.

it is multiplying itself.....Jeffrey now has 28K subscribers....in a little over a weeks.....you set the TRUTH free.....it will take care of itself!!! ⚔️

I saw NBC post that phone companies are gearing up towards vac-proof rollouts. Samsung, Apple, etc. Time to jump ship!
We can thank our lucky stars for Jeffrey. ❤️

Yes Thank you Jeffrey!!! I appreciate you and all the other people on this channel. I feel like I’m racing against the clock trying to learn all kinds of things at once. I need to start a notebook and try to copy the suggestions you all have made.
