[PLUG] [plug-announce] Wed Jan 1 - PLUG Central - "Will 2025 Finally Be the Year of Linux on the Desktop?" by Will Christensen (7pm online)

[Walt Mankowski via plug-announce via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

PLUG Central will be meeting on Wednesday, January 1, beginning at 7pm
EST (midnight UTC). The meeting will be online. Details are at the
bottom of the email.

This month, PLUG welcomes back Will Christensen. Will will be leading
a discussion on why he thinks 2025 might finally be the year of Linux
on the desktop.

  Considering that the latest changes to the policies of Windows 11
  might actually mean this might become the proper year of Desktop
  Linux. I think that might be the discussion topic.

  Considering that Steam has lots of linux support for games,
  Microsoft is pushing a web model that free's all users from using
  Windows for Office. There are many reasons why we may actually be
  looking at mass Linux adoption that isn't a joke. Further discussion
  can be around issues outstanding.

We'll be using Jitsi Meet, a free and open source videoconferencing
platform, for the meeting. The meeting will start at 7 PM. The talk will
start at 7:15. Q&A and general chat will follow the talk.
