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!
Yeah, I honestly think that, as fun as they are, having too many those tinkering and hacking with Linux videos are doing more harm than good for this cause.
If you’re trying to appeal to the common folks, you’d need to break that barrier somehow, and it’s probably easier to chisel it down bit-by-bit .
Exactly, there’s a saying that when you’re in a field you assume everyone else must know about your field too, and people just don’t. Not just the grandma’s either, but everyday people: friends, family, coworkers, people just want their tech to work. They need to know that they’ll be able to “use office” even if it’s a different program and “check their email” even if it means installing chrome at first.
