Description

We’re excited to host Unlocking TUX - GNU/Linux Installation party!

Join us as we dive into the world of open-source computing and explore what makes Linux so powerful, customizable, and just plain awesome.

Our session will be led by experienced Linux users who’ll guide participants through installing Linux on their own systems - step by step. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already tinkering with the terminal, there’s something here for you.

We’ll also cover:

  • What is GNU/Linux and Why Use It? - Understanding the open-source philosophy and the story behind the penguin.

  • Linux Basics - Distributions, package managers, and the Linux filesystem hierarchy.

  • Desktop Environments & Window Managers - What they are, how they differ, and which ones suit your workflow.

  • Essential Commands & Tools - Navigating the terminal, managing files, and getting comfortable with the shell.

  • Customization & Next Steps — Tweaking your setup, exploring community resources, and contributing back to open source.

By the end of the event, you’ll have Linux up and running on your system and a solid understanding of the ecosystem that powers everything from servers to supercomputers.
