Don't Gamble on Operating System Switch

[@SyberPrepper]

Good intro into your series! It sounds great. One small point I would make is to not use the term OS too much when talking about Operating Systems. People who are thinking about switching operating systems may not be attune to some of our jargon. Our industry is riddled with 2 , 3 and 4 letter jargon that can confuse folks. However, I think a series on why and how to switch to Linux is very needed and all people could benefit from knowing alternatives to Microsoft. Thanks!

Thank you for your recommendation. I will definitely try to steer clear of the jargon. Bad hold over from the days I was writing technical manuals. The first few times, I used an acronym or abbreviation (jargon) I spelled it out with the jargon in parentheses. There after just using the jargon term. But you are correct, this type of format does not work well in a videos. Thank you for pointing that out.

I'm computer agnostic; they all suck, just in different ways. :-) You may want to talk a bit about why you are choosing Debian over other distributions, since the first thing the average person will trip over is the large number of options out there for linux. You aren't choosing the OS as much as you are choosing the philosophy of the way it's managed. Which package manager, which window manager, etc are all impacted by the choice of distribution and can be very confusing.

[@retiredtechie]

I take your point. Probably should have just said Linux. I do plan to spend at least one session (3rd or 4th one) discussing Linux Distributions. For new Linux users it is one of, if not the biggest, choices that will affect their initial overall experience.

black screen is the best it has no bugs

Interesting idea. A person could literally solve all their Operating System issues by turning the computer off and leaving it off. Like all things it is a personal choice, and I am not sure how many people would be willing to do that!
