After the events of the last few years I realized dropping Windows was necessary. I set up dual boot with Linux Mint Cinnamon/Windows 10 on our family desktop. Then, my kids asked for Mint on their Windows computer. Much to my surprise, my kids LOVE โค it! They set up every single game and software they had on Windows. The difference in CPU, memory use, and speed is like night and day! My 13 year old had built a gaming computer that was running Windows 10. Once he saw how fast that exact same computer runs with Linux Mint, he never uses anything else now. Funny how kids will jump right in once they see how much better it is.

I saw an earlier post about an old scanner running on Linux. Have an old Canon which Windows stopped supporting when I upgraded to 7. Plugged it into an old computer on which I installed Debian and it works!

In concurrence with the Telegram channel, Bonesโ€™ Tech Garage (which Jeff.pro helped start! ๐Ÿ˜Š) We at Jeff.pro are excited to see advancements of the ARM processor.

It is an alternative to Intel and AMD in high tech manufacturing.

And, there are versions of the Linux O.S. that support ARM processors. So itโ€™s good news all around.

Anything that helps keep the development of our technology away from China, is good news. ๐ŸŽ‰

Friends, hope you are having a nice end of the week, where ever you are. Here are a few thoughts for you on this Friday afternoon.

We can be sure that as the world undergoes major changes, our faith will be tested and Godโ€™s Word will be proven to be the truth.

None of us can predict the future with precision accuracy. However, a few things we do know: Taking self-responsibility for ourselves and our families is the way to go.

What does this mean? Well, in many ways, our โ€œprepperโ€ friends have been right for a long time. Secure our own food supplies, shore up our surroundings and belongings, do as much as we can to act in our own best interests. No one here on Earth is coming to save us, especially not this โ€œgovernment.โ€ Thatโ€™s for darn sure.

What this channel teaches, the world of Free and Open Source Software and Linux, will get you moving in the right direction for your digital sovereignty. That means, staying connected to the online world while advocating for your own rights, the security of your personal information and your own files and records, in the ways that matter most.

If you are learning about Linux, keep learning. There is little doubt that what ever new world emerges in the future, people are going to be less willing to tolerate โ€œbig techโ€ abuses like intrusion, surveillance and spying. This is our way forward. People-driven technology, not โ€œbig tech.โ€

For online business and commerce, consider learning technical skills. Instead of waiting for economic opportunities to come physicially to us where we are, we can find ways to interact, whether they be with individuals or businesses, from many more places, faster, when we stay connectedโ€”in ways that work for us, not โ€œthemโ€โ€”while always protecting our own interests.

As for the Jeff.pro channel, God is on the move making incredible things happen for our organization. We appreciate everyone who has been with us through the journey of the past few years very much. You are a bunch of incredible, authentically Patriotic, great people to be connected with!

If youโ€™re one of the several hundred learners in the Linux for Beginners class run by this channel, your invitations for tomorrowโ€™s Weekend Linux Workshop are being sent out to your e-mail now!

This week, Linux distros, installations. Why switching to Linux is one of the most important, urgent actions you should be taking right now for your Digital Freedom.

A preview of Linux desktops, which have evolved in recent years to where they look and work just as well as the "big-tech" system you were previously using, such as Windows or MacOS. However, internally, Linux works even better--it's the better engineered software. It's true!

In a complicated world, learn how easy it can be to take back complete control of your computers and achieve Digital Freedom, with Linux, a complete replacement for the "big tech" Microsoft Windows on your computers!

See you online tomorrow @ 5:00pm Eastern!

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we are living in a time with overwhelming conflict and change. When we see injustice and corruption, it can stir up feelings within us. Remind us in those moments that Your ways are higher than our ways. You alone see the full picture.

Help us surrender our need to understand everything. Grant us the faith to trust Your infinite wisdom. Grant us hope that even in the darkest times, Your light and purpose will prevail.

Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Your ways exceed our ways. Renew our spirits so that no matter what storms we face, our hope and anchor is in You alone.

Lord, in the confusion of everyday life, be our compass. Guide us to always honor You in all ways.

We pray this in the name of our Risen Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
