Howdy there! I posted here a while ago sharing a script to a video guide on how and why someone might want to switch to Linux and I wanted to share the finished product now that it is complete. My goal with this script was to create something explaining why an average person might want to stop using Windows and what Linux can do for them in its place. It is able to be watched on Peertube and YouTube as well as read in its entirety on my website. If you give it a watch or a read please let me know what you think. Thank you for your time :)

    I looked on the topics of the video and all of them make sense. However, I think the biggest problem for average persons is that they don’t care enough to watch a video that is 80 minutes long (if they even find it). Also, I’m not sure if video is the correct format since I prefer text and some pictures. But I’m not an average user :) for a grandma a video might be better, I don’t know.

    For feedback of the video itself, the parts where you show Cinnamon, Gnome and KDE could benefit from showing the screen more and how to navigate in the OS. If I try to imagine how an elderly person would feel about changing OS to Linux from using Windows for decades then I’m not sure watching does short glimpses would convince them that they can handle it.

    Sorry if it sounds harsh, I’m trying to give constructive feedback. I think it is a nice initiative and from what I saw the topics are well chosen and you speak slowly and clearly.
