# Join the Linux Party at ETSII UMA!
|
||||
# Free your laptop! Join the Open Bokeron Linux Party at ETSII UMA
|
||||
|
||||
On Wednesday, March 4th, at 5:00 PM, in the Coworking Room (Classroom 4.1.1) at the School of Computer Engineering (ETSII) of UMA, we are hosting our Linux Party. This event is designed to introduce you to the world of free software and help you take your first steps (or dive deeper) into unsing Linux.
|
||||
The end of support for Windows 10 is here, and the alternative they offer is a resource-hungry Windows 11, plagued with bugs, and cramming AI assistants like Copilot that you never asked for (and which compromise your privacy) down your throat. If you're tired of an operating system that treats you like the product, forces updates at the worst possible times, and decides things for you: **It's time to liberate your laptop from all that junk!**
|
||||
|
||||
## What will we do?
|
||||
From **Open Bokeron**, the free software student association at the University of Málaga, we invite you on **Wednesday, March 4th at 17:00**, in the Coworking Space (Room 4.1.1) of the Computer Engineering School (ETSII UMA), to our **Linux Party**. An event designed to rescue your computer, take back control of your tech, and learn from scratch.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🌟 Introductory presentation on Linux
|
||||
## What are we going to do?
|
||||
|
||||
What makes Linux different from other operating systems? We'll explain the basics, its advantages, and why more and more people are choosing it for their daily use.
|
||||
### 🌟 Presentation: The Power of Free/Libre Software
|
||||
Why settle for a system that spies on you when you can have one that respects your freedom? We'll tell you the basics of GNU/Linux, the huge privacy, security, and performance advantages it offers, and why it's the fundamental tool every computer science student (and digital citizen) should master.
|
||||
|
||||
### 💻 Installation of GNU/Linux distributions
|
||||
### 💻 Install Party: Say goodbye to Windows
|
||||
Do you want to install Linux but feel dizzy doing it alone? Don't worry! **We will have expert volunteers who use different distributions** (Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, Debian, Arch, Gentoo, etc.). We will help you choose the "distro" that best suits your level and your laptop (perfect for reviving those machines that Windows no longer supports!) and guide you step by step through the installation. Just bring your laptop with a backup of your important data, and we'll help you with the rest.
|
||||
|
||||
Want to install Linux but don't know where to start? No worries! Our team will hell you choose the distribution that best suits your needs (Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, Debian, Arch, Gentoo, etc.) and guide you step by step through the installation process. Bring your laptop, and we'll take care of the rest!
|
||||
### 🛠️ Learn and master your environment
|
||||
Linux isn't just an OS to "escape" Windows; it's an ecosystem full of professional and learning possibilities. We'll show you free tools for programming, office work, and design. Plus, we'll help you lose your fear of the terminal by teaching you your first basic commands so you can start feeling like a real *sysadmin*.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🛠️ Exploring tools and applications
|
||||
Linux is more than an operating system, it's a world of possibilities. We'll introduce you to free tools for programming, office work, design, and much more. Moreover, if you're up for it, we'll also teach you the basics of using the terminal.
|
||||
## Why should you come?
|
||||
- **Save your PC from the e-waste bin:** The EOL (End of Life) of Windows 10 doesn't mean the end of your laptop. Linux is much lighter and will give it a second (and better) life.
|
||||
- **Zero bloatware, zero forced AI:** Discover what it's like to use a computer that does exactly what you tell it to do, with no ads in the start menu and no hidden telemetry.
|
||||
- **Learn real skills:** Understanding and knowing how to use Linux will give you a huge advantage in your studies and your future career.
|
||||
- **Open Bokeron Community:** Meet people with the same interests, network, and solve your doubts with peers who are ready to help.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why should you join?
|
||||
- Learn something new: Whether you're just curious or a future expert, there's something for everyone.
|
||||
- Free software: Discover ethical, secure, and free alternatives to propietary software.
