Unique ask, but I hope some folks here will help me out a bit. I’m talking with a youtube creator who focuses on waste in society, and they are interested in doing a youtube video on Windows 11 and the planned obsolence around ending Windows 10, and requiring the TPM.
Part of this that I’m pushing is the “Don’t throw it out, install Linux”. While I can describe a good amount, does anyone have any good resources that you recommend that I can forward on about what Linux is, and why someone may want to look into it? This would be for someone who is non technical - think an average Macbook user.
Appreciate any links or youtube videos or anything you may have stored away for this teaching Linux!
From what I know, the biggest blocker for the switch is that they’re afraid they can’t do all the stuff they’re used to. While there are valid cases, it’s mostly FUD.
I think you can start by introducing popular FOSS tools that are available in Windows. With LibreOffice amping up on compatibility with MS Office, now would be good time to tell people they can try it out on Windows
If you use domain-specific tools like Krita, Darktable, Kdenlive, VSCode, Android Studio, KiCAD, or whatever, you can also go thru those. They don’t have to be FOSS as long as they’re available on Linux (e.g. Steam, Postman, Spotify, etc).
This is a good callout. I’m not sure how much of the video will be “There are alternatives available” vs “Try linux!”, but if we get into Try linux directly I want people to know that yes it works completely
