Intro\nRandy covers some back-to-school computer options that you may not realize you already have.\n\nAnnouncements\n\t\u2022 I'm putting a slow-down on the Microsoft 365 trainings, and will do them on an as-requested basis.\n\nHere's why you may already own a "back-to-school" computer.\n\t\u2022 Linux\n\t\t\u25cb It's free and will likely more than do the job of paying for a "Chromebook" in the store.\n\t\t\t\xa7 I can't stress this enough - a Chromebook is a chrome browser. Turn an old PC into a Linux machine. It's so easy, I could walk you through it over the phone.\n\t\t\t\xa7 Install Elementary OS - The install is extremely easy and there are more than enough guides that walk you through the simple steps. I will help you with any questions you may have about installing it. It has a MacOS looking Dock bar at the bottom.\n\t\t\t\xa7 Linux Mint - This is my personal choice for a Linux distribution. I think it is perfect for beginners, but also very-easy access to the tools for more advanced Linux users.
