Looking back at our Linux Install Event
Equipped with branded "install-USB-sticks", we opened the doors for our first Linux Install Event. The sticks were prepared as bootable live USB for different distributions. Our demo-device served to test different desktop environments as well.
The day went on quietly, which allowed us to handle the installations without any stress and leave a lot of time for questions and trying out. In addition to successful Linux installations there were also discussions about settings, updates, applications and even Yubikeys. All in all it was a successful event.
As we announced the event at relatively short notice, the number of visitors was a bit limited. This was fine for us to start, as we were able to take our time and answer questions thoroughly. For future events however, we are considering how to attract more people and the right target group, in order to enable them to switch to Linux (from Windows 10, among others).
