Also wenn jemand im Südosten von #München oder dort in der Nähe Hilfe bei der Installation oder dem Betrieb von #Linux braucht, einfach hier melden. #GetLinuxed

I am offering my time to help Linux curious people. Can meet at a coffee shop between Beitou and Danshui and can help you get your machine setup... Or offer advice or tech support.

DM me if you need help.

@welshpixie We already are. Lots of #RepairCafes and #MakerSpaces are offering services just like this, including me, via Telford Repair Cafe where I volunteer. I'm also offering a pilot service via Freegle (a UK-only Freecycle platform) and have someone dropping a laptop off in an hour or so to #GetLinuxed!

For the Repair Cafe, we have to work out policies, procedures and how the service will work formally - planning to have a meeting with TRC chair next week to run through things. I'm currently in the middle of putting together how-tos on saving files to USB and migrating browser favourites and passwords. If all goes well, we will go live with the RC service in November.

I love the #GetLinuxed hashtag idea, however, I fear we are largely preaching to the choir on Mastodon at least. Definitely need people on *other* social media to promote this tag. Will definitely mention it at the meeting next week.

Seeing loads of 'you should try Linux! It's easy! All you need to do is (bunch of scary jargon)' and not much 'I'll be in (cafe/workshop/community space) in (town/city) on (date/time), bring your laptop and a USB stick and I'll help you get started on Linux'.

For a place that has such a HUGE Linux and FOSS culture, the Fedi would be a great place to organise a movement like this. I propose #GetLinuxed if someone wants to set up and organise this :P
