## Why should I use Linux & Open Source?

Whole countries around the world are leaving Microsoft Windows & other proprietary software platforms because they are tired of US Governments and/or western companies data-mining them and their customers/citizens.

• "We're done" - major government organization slams Microsoft Teams as it drops Windows for good
• Yet another European government is ditching Microsoft for Linux - here's why
• Governments and large institutions across Europe, Latin America, and Asia have adopted LibreOffice as part of digital sovereignty initiatives. Government bodies in Germany, Denmark and France, and national ministries in Italy and Brazil, have turned to LibreOffice to reclaim control over their digital infrastructure.

## The LINUX Operating System

### is an Alternative to:

Microsoft Windows & Apple OSX Operating Systems. That's right, there ARE alternatives to big tech's tech! Linux doesn't spy or data-mine you, your family, or your customers!

• Bring a laptop and/or desktop PC if you want to follow along. This workshop uses a live-boot feature (USB drive included in price), so no install will be required, however, it's always a good idea to backup your data! Do that before the class if you have important data.
• Where Mac and Linux are cousins in the back-end, and it is possible to run Linux on some Apple hardware, it is beyond the scope of this workshop.
