Description:
Linux is cool — but where do you even start? For beginners, the sheer number of distributions, desktop environments, and choices can feel overwhelming. This session breaks everything down in a friendly, accessible way with no prior knowledge required.
Kevin will walk through what a “distro” actually is, how different desktop environments shape your experience, and why you might choose one distribution over another. If you’ve been dragged to LinuxFest by a friend and are still trying to figure out what’s going on, this is absolutely the session for you.
Target Audience:
- People who were dragged here by someone else and are trying to figure out what the heck is going on
