Howdy folks!

So on January 19th, we had a Zoom meeting to present some of these juicy facts to some people, but we had a scheduling conflict, had to switch to another account, and lost over half of the people who wanted to see this in the first place. It was a bit rough.

So in February I recorded the presentation again and managed to scavenge Jason's portion of the presentation because that turned out pretty great. I also added some additional information that was asked about, as well as some that wasn't asked about. The one question I didn't touch yet was regarding the program "W.I.N.E" which allows the use of some Windows programs within Linux. I think that subject deserves its own video or tutorial, including some other programs that put a lot more polish on W.I.N.E., and maybe even going into some detail on Steam's "Proton" project for gaming compatibility.

In the meantime, here's the newly remixed Linux Presentation!
