Thank you Jeffrey Peterson!! You are an amazing American/Patriot!! God bless you & your family!! I’m looking forward to learning from you!! LET’S FIRE BIG TECH/BILL GATES!!

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!

I`m not computer savvy at all. I down loaded mint today and installed telegram and a vpn. Thanks to all here who helped.

Linux is not in pieces. The typical Linux "distribution" comes as a whole system, just like when you install MS Windows.

It actually comes with more software, and more useful software than a typical MS Windows install.

If your hardware supports Linux, it is easier to install than Windows, and it is far easier to maintain. It might not seem easier at first, but once you learn it it's really hard to go back to Windows, at least for me.

Here are instructions on how to try out the Linux Mint distribution on a USB flash drive, and install it if you like it.

I dug an old puter out today and am having my friend install Linux on it. I cannot wait to get it back! Thank you for all the information!

Today I installed Ubuntu Linux on an old 32 bit machine I had. Completely scrapped windows which was so slow it was virtually unusable. Now it’s a great machine again!

Just heard the recorded call from tonight, thank you Jeffrey. Awesome info.

we should get all our kids off of iPads and on Raspberry Pis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. LibreOffice works just as good as MS Office, and it comes with most Linux distros.

Tried Ubuntu on my work laptop last night and it worked great! Now I am going to try Mint Cinnamon and convert our old desktop and all in one to Linux!

I think we have windows on our computer upstairs I would be happy to learn the new technology and fire gates I want to say you are fired Bill Gates

All options are liberal. I wish a patriot would start one!!!!

Friends, scroll up and look at the Search Engine poll. The trust many of us once had for Google, is gone. Totally gone. I agree with many of you, I like Brave Search. And there is a new one called Presearch that looks interesting. I think maybe we can do better, but it will take a little while to build a good one if we do. We can talk about that in the future. Today, we will start getting everyone on the free newsletter and blog, and we purchased 250 seats for our upcoming course. Details later today. Thanks everyone.

LibreOffice is not any more unstable than MS Office or anything else. I have been using LibreOffice for over 10 years, on all my person computers (including wife's & kids' computers) I also use MS Office 2016 at work, so I have good feel for that. They're both the same for all practical purposes.

Sure you could nitpick and say that MS Office does this and that. You could also go the other way, and nitpick, and say LibreOffice does this and that, and that MS Office doesn't do it.

For example, MS Office doesn't handle LibreOffice Basic macros, and MS Office (as well as MS Windows) doesn't recognize Linux file systems, such as ext3 and ext4. It's not like LibreOffice Basic and Linux file systems are top secret. They're open source, and they're used a lot. Microsoft is just pretending they're not there to keep you vendor locked in.

I just installed a new to me machine with it. It's an old HP Pavilion, had windows on it. I simply wiped it using Linux Mint 20 installed from thumb drive and it's working fine. So, for the most part yes. Only issue I had was the CMOS had been set weird and the wifi wouldn't work. I fixed that by factory reset on the CMOS. (There were other issues but all hard ware related to a mostly broken computer, but then I am an electronics engineer so I repaired all the hard ware things before proceeding.)

welcome to Freedom. I've been using Linux for more than 2 decades on and off. From way back in the 80s using slackware to Red Hat to other distros. I still keep a windows machine for things for the wife, but it's rarely used these days, and has old XP on it still. I think that the time has come to eliminate all the big tech out of our lives. As an electronics engineer, I know that there are still other ways to get at us, but this makes it more difficult. Good luck.

Here’s the thing about fear (just putting it out there). Fear is good, especially when one is in grave danger. It’s what tells us to run in the other direction or get out of the way. Yes, fear can stop us from doing something, but fear can also be good. This information and what Jeffery is telling us is the kind of “fear” that’s telling us to do things differently bc there is potential danger. Nothing wrong with being prepared. Thanks Jeffery!
