I've been on Linux for 5 years. Love it.

Great encouragement Jeffrey, love your passion and commitment! Agreed, we must do this! It's really not difficult, especially given the alternative. Yes! Let's GO!!

For any new Telegram subscribers who don't know me--hi, I'm Jeff, I work with computers and technology. On tonight's voice call, we talked about taking back your digital freedom by leaving the "big tech" Windows/MacOS/Android operating systems and teaching yourself how to use free opensource Linux. It is cool, interesting stuff to learn that will help all of us in many ways you may not have first realized. God bless you and have a good night.

You have laid out a path to personal and collective independence-
Thank you for sharing your experience, ideas and encouragement!!!🙏
God bless you and your message.

Here is a audio recording of tonight's Telegram voice call for those who were not able to be there live. Best wishes to you, Patriots, as you set out to discover the very robust world of Free and Open Source technology. If you, like us, are ready to leave the spying and abuses of the "big tech" Windows/MacOS/Android operating systems, Linux is Digital Freedom!

Patriots, if you have not yet joined us in our Technology chat room, you can add it to your Telegram by clicking here -> @jptchat (Disclosure: Sometimes it gets very busy, it is a lot to follow. Turn off notifications there. It is best for people who want to learn fast, from watching what everyone is talking about...if you don't mind seeing 50 new messages on the channel every time you go back. Other chat rooms on Telegram work the same way.)

my MacBook took a red pill today, I moved from MacOS to Linux Mint

Yes!!

Linux is traditionally about FOSS. But I would submit that the reason windows and apple have been successful in growth in the pop culture is due to their for profit models. Money motivates.
Gaming is a GREAT example. Processing power has moved forward largely because of the need in the gaming industry. Profits move forward the development of faster and faster processing to facilitate high resolution 3D graphics at 60 frames per second.
In order to move Linux forward there is enthusiasm currently. It's a need because we know that the alternative is taking advantage of us.
But we must recognize the profit, model and it's success in moving things forward. Capitalism works. We need to find a way to implement free market capitalism to help grow the Linux systems.

Jeffrey. I think you may see it already... But your are at the forefront of something brand new. Not that Linux is new... But the upcoming mainstream development of it is.

Thanks for leading the charge, Mr. Peterson! This helps me fulfill on my commitment to ruin Google! I am all in!

Me too am going to try to go to beginning of thread and take this in! I need a new old computer cuz all I’ve worked off of us iPad and iPhone since my MacBook Air died years ago. Yikes I’m overwhelmed but gonna try!!

I am learning a lot! My 2009 Dell will be transformed. 🤓🤪

Thank you. I didn’t think it would. I am going to use an older laptop instead. My concern is preserving the windows files and programs that are on it. Not sure a full backup would work.
Switching to Linux I wanted to do many years ago. (I have always hated Windows, lol)

I'm enjoying it as well. I'm still dual booting with Windows to play certain games that I couldn't get to work on Linux. Rockstar Games games. Also, raspberry Pi's are pretty awesome.

Well, my old college toshiba was purchased in 2006! It runs Linux like a
Champ.

Wait, Ubuntu is Linux?

Geez, gone for a couple of days and there are 10k+ new messages! Keep it up folks 👍
