$30 · Curious about Linux? Let me demystify it for you!

In today's ever-more-digitized world, it is extremely helpful to at least have a foot in the door of the world of Linux. While getting started can seem daunting, many Linux distributions have become much more beginner-friendly than in the past! It's easy to try, too! You can install it alongside your current OS, or even just run it off a USB stick without needing to install. What does Linux offer? -It's a great option for turning an old, sluggish laptop or netbook into a reasonably-performing internet browser, video watcher, or otherwise casual-use, portable machine. -If your main computer has outdated hardware, a lightweight distribution of Linux can help squeeze some extra performance out of your machine without paying for upgrades. -The wide range of distributions and the flexibility and customization afforded by them means that you can easily adapt to specific use-cases that you may encounter. -If you plan to get into programming or especially web development, or already are, familiarity with Linux systems is incredibly helpful. So what exactly am I offering? As an introduction, for $30 I will do one of the following: * Set up an old or alternate computer or laptop with one or more Linux distributions. * Set up your main computer to dual-boot a Linux distro alongside your primary OS (meaning on computer start-up you can choose which operating system will activate for you to use). * Modify a USB stick, external drive, or SD card of yours (or one of mine for an extra cost) to allow access to a Linux distro. In addition to this, based on feedback you give me about what your specific use-case is, I will preinstall some useful software specific to your needs. Also included will be a manual of sorts about how to use your new operating system, specific to the distribution we have chosen. This manual will give you all the tools you need to install new software, customize your system, and start learning the more advanced features you can make use of. If you get stuck, I will also be available to help solve any problems that come up. The first hour of "tech support" will be completely free. So come see what the hype is about!
