half an hour:
15 minutes: a little story
15 minutes: discussion or q&a
like Blender & InkScape
all free and open source!
sudo apt-get install firefox
sudo apt-get update
Customization: You can change anything.
Your File manager, your desktop environment, etc.
Not one way of doing things. Whereby the company decides.
Linux is Flexible. Gives power. btw: It's free
Linux treats you like an adult,
Windows treats you like a retard.
~ Amin @ev0k3d
VM's
you can run both
MacOS & Windows inside Linux,
if you need to.
Works great. Like native.
You can learn kind of everything. For example:
Window Managers
Shortcuts: almost everything is possible
Moving hard disk partitions to other PC's
Advantage: support
Anyone can help you.
You don't need to go to an Apple Store.
No need to upgrade badly (Windows 10 anyone?)
Always long term support & possible to extend even longer.
Bug? Immediately fixed.
If not with an available update, you can do it yourself.
Android: LineageOS
S2 -> Super fast, on Android 9
And really,
if you have IoT devices.
You want to know what's in it.
You dont want anyone to listen to your voice via your teddy bear, because it's closed source with the companies goal of earning as much as money as possible. Most closed source IoT solutions are not safe.
you can choose your own price
what is Free Software?
Freedom.
Permissionless innovation.
Advantages of Linux
Most of all: You are in control. You decide what you install and what not (in example: Android without Google Apps). No lock-in, or apps/features that you don't want. You are the basis for your choices.
Ideal world: coorperatives. Control.
Possibility to check what happens.
Choose what you want to implement.
Transparency.
Like in blockchain space: transparent collaboration.
Working together to a common goal.
Nice to know.
My company name is inspired on Tux, the pinguin that stands for open source.
Tux-ion.
Tuxion
top contributors to open source (github?)
companies do. it's in their advantage
"Linux is bad for games"
Not anymore.
"Can't do my work on Linux"
Web apps anyone?
Lot's of apps.
If not compatible, it's because of lock-in practices.
