<h1>Linux Install Fest</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Where and when</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Linux Install Fest will be held on December 9, 2025 in the JAG3
|
|
classroom of the Faculty of Mathematics, at
|
|
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3807078606"
|
|
>Jagićeva 5, Belgrade</a
|
|
>. Entry to the classroom is possible from 6 pm to 9 pm.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Jagićeva street is located between the
|
|

|
|
><em>Pijaca Đeram</em></a
|
|
>
|
|
station where trams 5, 6, 7L and 14 stop, and the
|
|
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1693535022"
|
|
><em>Crveni krst</em></a
|
|
>
|
|
station where buses 21 and 83 stop, as well as trolleybuses 19, 22 and
|
|
29.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Program schedule</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The goal of the gathering is to help interested install the Linux
|
|
operating system on laptops. Several people with working Linux
|
|
experience will be present at the event. In addition, depending on the
|
|
interest of those present, short trainings related to the command line,
|
|
git, web services, C programming, etc. can be held.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
After 9 p.m., we can continue socializing in one of the nearby bars.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Linux distributions</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Linux is the core of the operating system, on which other programs are
|
|
installed. All of these together make up a particular
|
|
<em>Linux distribution</em>. There are many distributions, but we
|
|
recommend the ones with a long tradition like the following:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>The Debian</strong> distribution is probably the most suitable
|
|
for Linux beginners. Known derivatives of Debian are Ubuntu, Mint and
|
|
Zorin.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Fedora</strong> is also suitable for Linux beginners. It
|
|
differs from the Debian distribution by the faster release of new
|
|
versions, which in practice means that users have newer versions of
|
|
the program.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Arch</strong> is a Linux distribution that allows the user to
|
|
easily configure all parts of the system. This distribution is
|
|
intended for people with significant Linux experience.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are a beginner and haven't decided which distribution you want to
|
|
install, we recommend Fedora or Debian. Regardless of which distribution
|
|
you have, you will be able to run all programs intended for Linux.
|
|
</p>

<h2>End of 10</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This year's Linux Install Fest is organized as part of the global
|
|
<a href="https://endof10.org/">End of 10</a> campaign, which promotes
|
|
the Linux operating system as a replacement for Windows 10.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For a long time now, the Windows operating system has become
|
|
increasingly unfriendly to users. On the contrary, many Linux
|
|
distributions have improved the user experience to the maximum, and
|
|
today we can claim that Linux enables significantly more pleasant work,
|
|
regardless of the user's technical knowledge.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Windows imposes on users functionalities that users do not want to use,
|
|
such as: cloud integrations, AI, advertisements, mandatory accounts, and
|
|
the like. These functionalities serve above all to increase Microsoft's
|
|
profits, and have no benefit for most end users. Also, basic programs
|
|
such as calendars, calculators or text editors have become slow and full
|
|
of bugs. With useless functionalities, Windows becomes more demanding
|
|
every year and requires the purchase of better hardware, leading to an
|
|
increase in electronic waste. Unlike Windows, the latest Linux
|
|
distributions work very well on computers that are more than a decade
|
|
old.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The choice of an operating system is no longer just a technical
|
|
decision, but also an environmental attitude.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Installation methods</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>We can install Linux in three ways:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Inside a virtual machine on Windows.</strong> In this way, the
|
|
user retains his existing operating system and the data on it. Linux
|
|
in a virtual machine will be significantly slower than an installation
|
|
without virtualization.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>In addition to the existing operating system.</strong> If it
|
|
is possible to shrink one of your partitions and free up at least 10GB
|
|
of space, you can install a Linux operating system in addition to
|
|
Windows. When booting the computer, the user will be able to choose
|
|
whether to boot Windows or Linux. With such an installation, there is
|
|
a certain risk that one of the subsequent Windows updates will reset
|
|
the bootloader settings, after which a small intervention is required
|
|
to make the Linux system accessible again.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>By completely removing the Windows system.</strong> In place
|
|
of the Windows partition, a new partition with the Linux distribution
|
|
will be placed. Additional partitions that exist may or may not be
|
|
removed.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Before arrival</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In order for the installation to be effective, before coming to the
|
|
Linux Instal Fest, it is necessary to make a backup of the data from the
|
|
system partition if you decide on the second or third installation
|
|
option. If you have two partitions (for example, C and D), move the data
|
|
from the system partition (C:) that you want to keep to the non-system
|
|
partition (D:). If you don't have an additional partition, you can use a
|
|
USB flash drive. Pay attention to the files inside the user directory
|
|
(Desktop, Downloads, Documents,... ), and export bookmarks and passwords
|
|
from the browser.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Also, before your arrival, you can familiarize yourself with the
|
|
appearance and way of functioning of various Linux distributions. You
|
|
can try some Linux distributions through the browser, without any
|
|
installation, on the
|
|
<a href="https://distrosea.com/">DistroSea</a> website (sometimes it is
|
|
necessary to wait a short time to free up resources on the site). Please
|
|
note that the operating system on this site is many times slower than
|
|
the system installed on your computer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Organizer</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The organizer of the event is
|
|
<a href="https://dmz.rs/en/">Decentrala</a> - a group of enthusiasts
|
|
gathered around the ideas of decentralization and free dissemination of
|
|
knowledge. So far, we have organized more than
|
|
<a href="https://dmz.rs/en/events_archive">300 events</a>, and we
|
|
regularly announce the next events on the
|
|
<a href="https://dmz.rs/en/events">Events</a> page.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the following period, two more events for Linux beginners will be
|
|
held at the same location (classroom JAG3):
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Tuesday December 16</strong> - Introduction to the Linux
|
|
command line
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Tuesday, December 23</strong> - Introduction to Git</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Events start at 6pm.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Ponovo</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can bring defective devices to the Linux install fest: laptops,
|
|
phones, desktop computers, monitors... We will deliver them to the
|
|
organization <a href="https://ponovo.rs/">Ponovo</a> in Kikinda during
|
|
January. This organization will repair these devices and thereby prevent
|
|
the increase of electronic waste.
