Windows to Linux
●   How an ex-Microsoftie made the switch
    ●   After 11 years programming
    ●   I forgot more about Windows than most ever
        learn
●   Now uses Linux 100%
●   Do you realize the benefits?


    Keith Curtis

Why not Mac?
●   Lenovo is a better deal and better machine
●   Apple laptop keyboards suck and mice
    have one button
●   Keystrokes are unlike Lin/Win
●   The Mac OS is proprietary
    ●   Depend on a free kernel now
    ●   Yet they don't understand it
●   DRM, appstore policies, etc.
Experimenting
●   If you made it to instructables.com, you
    can install Linux
●   Start anywhere...
●   Use Firefox, OpenOffice, GIMP, Audacity,
    Python, etc. on current OS
●   I started with dual-boot
●   I've reinstalled many times till I found
    what I liked
Ubuntu
●   Download an Ubuntu Live CD and install
    it
●
Partitions
●   If you have tons of space, no problem
●   Otherwise, do some planning
●   Create a Linux partition big enough to hold your
    data
    ●   You will move it over eventually
●   Put system and home directory on separate
    partitions
    ●   Let's you easily wipe the OS
●   Can dual boot or use VirtualBox-type VMs
    ●   Faster / more reliable to dual-boot
Biggest Linux benefit:
Free Software
●   1,000s of applications
    ●   Apple / Microsoft will never have this
●   Built by a million-man army
    ●   Army grows one person at a time
●   Each project is gaining steam
●   Linux is a Ferrari: Incredible power but
    still missing cupholders
Blender
Blender issues
●   The UI is considered time-consuming to learn
●   But the power is amazing
●   In a program as complicated as Blender, learning the UI
    will not hold you up
    ●   Look at the complexity of the UI for a Boeing cockpit
●   Several great tutorials
●   Blender uses the free language Python, the free physics
    engine Bullet, etc.
●   Use free software so you can join the community
Python
Python
●   Python has the richest set of class
    libraries for all aspects of computing
●   There are multiple workaround for the
    perf issues
What can you do?
●   Donate $ or time for faster progress
●   Every group needs programmers
●   Don't need to join Microsoft to learn
    about your computer
The Future
●   The key to cars that drive us around is
    more free software
●   There are enough programmers today,
    but they are not working together
●
    About to enter a 21st century renaissance
●   Read my (free!) book to learn more:
