I've been watching as a spectator and slowly moving over fully to open source since 1988. I grew up on a Zerox 100 or 200, can't remember. I have been an embedded engineering technician and had to know all of the operating systems since. I took a break from high tech for 5 years after watching computers reboot 😅 for many years. I have a few laptops that miss me. However, I have been challanged by Windows 10 updates to where my 2019 Asus laptop is not upgradeable. I tried everything, and Microsoft keeps telling me to reboot for 20H2 upgrade and loops continuously for 7 months plus. Today I successfully booted to Mint on my thumb drive. I am extremely upset with Microsoft windows and will continue with my slow migration to a Linux OS. Thanks, Jeff. I'm glad you have put this forum together it's helped me back into my old hobby.

What you'll find in here is that there is NO "cyber security" except a false sense of security using mainstream OS'es such as Microshaft or Apples close source operating systems.
Linux will bring me life to older equipment. Grab a flavor for your equipment and give it a "test drive". No need to install right away.

Was certified and supported Microsoft products for many years. I retired and let it all expire. Thanks to this channel I've converted to Mint and am absorbing like a sponge again. Next is the Android phone. Thanks Jeffrey!

The only thing left for me to get rid of is my iPhone! I have kicked windows off my laptop, bought an old Dell desktop and installed Linux on that, bought a second desktop and did the same and sold it. I just bought a cheap Dell chrome book 3120 as my next project. I sold my iPad, and am looking for an alternative still, iPhone is next. I have also done two other laptops for others who had issues with windows on older laptops. Even started a website to try to get more people to de google or do window their devices. Having a blast and learning so much!

I have a 2013 iMac that was basically useless. Installed Zorin OS today and gave it new life Its like having a new machine. It was so easy. Love it!

Hi All- who is your preferred Search engine and why? GO - JP, WHAT SAY YOU?

I’m dumping all things Apple. Evil. I often wonder if Jobs died from cancer or if he was slowly murdered. Was he a good guy? Did he know Pixel would merge with Disney? Jobs ran two corporations successfully at the same time. Who else was or is even capable of such a thing?

I like the Brave browser and the new Brave search. The founder, Brendan Eich, used to be the head of Firefox, but they kicked him out when he supported legislation to keep marriage between a man and a woman. He then founded Brave. I have been using his browser ever since.

I love being able to download new life into my old laptops!

I don’t expect it to work perfectly. I’m willing to sacrifice. Tired of giving my money to people who want to destroy me.

My 20 year old son and this 49 year old dad... both of us plumbers by trade... are on board and learning. We are excited for this new faith adventure and tech adventure. It is amazing! "If My people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land."
I perceive that this is occurring across our nation. His people have done what He asked, and now this is one of the many parts of how He is healing our land. I pray daily that God will stir up His people. This is evidence of God stirring us all up for His Glory! Love it!!!!!

I'll take mobile Linux on my Motorola V3 :)

Big problem and opportunity is not to have a free appstore with the apps everybody uses. How do you like an iphone or an android with Zero apps? Would you pay what they charge now?, I am 300% with Jeff: we need the system and an appstore enticing to developers( think ecosystem)

Thank you Sir. I just installed Linux Mint on a PC. Couldn't have done it without you and this channel. I'm 66 and not to techy. Thank You !! 😎😎😎

This all seems confusing to me, but I'm all about unshackling from Big Tech.

Converted allacbooks and older laptops to Linux Mint and have zero regrets. Thanks Jeff!!

I am ready. And participating.
