Linux for the Layman: the Joy of Computing.30 Aug 2020

What Linux is and how it can help you.

In this episode, I go through a description of what Linux is, a brief history of Linux, what Linux can do for you and why not to get Linux.

I describe operating systems and kernels, distributions and interfaces and three reasons not to use Linux depending on your needs.

I give short previews of potential future episodes - how to use the terminal or command line interface and how powerful it is, differences between various graphical user interfaces (GUIs), Linux distros compared to other OSes and each other, and more.

Thank you for listening. Please share and feel free to comment on Anchor.fm where this podcast is hosted. I'll add more contact points in the future.
