FOSSMeet 2019

A very beginner friendly introduction to GNU/Linux Desktop. Last year in FOSSMeet, I saw not everyone were using GNU/Linux OS and still sticking to proprietary OS. They just don’t know the awesomness of GNU/Linux.

2019 is the year of the Linux desktop for everyone ! :)

The aim of my talk is to convince people to switch completely to a Linux OS from proprietary OSs.

Outline

• Different Operating Systems & their differences (Point/Regular Release, Rolling Release)
• Different DEs & suitability to different users
• Cool & Fun Apps in GNU/Linux which makes life easier
  • KDE Connect
• Gaming on Linux

Additional : For students who want to start programming (beginners) :

• Setting up a development environment in Linux

Here’s the slides (I will update it to add more stuff) :
