• The Time the UI is up on screen

Getting started with Linux:

1. Obtain the Ubuntu Install image from ubuntu.com

2. Write the Ubuntu installation image to a USB flash media device. On PC use Etcher or Rufus & on a mac, use Etcher. Be careful to make sure the flash drive is chosen in this step.

3. Once that is finished, eject the drive and insert the drive into your PC/Mac

4. When booting the PC/Mac press F2 (or your computer’s hotkey to access the boot menu), or if you’re running a newer version of Windows such as 8 or 10 boot into Windows, press start, go to advanced start options, choose UEFI Settings, Disable secureboot. Boot back into Windows repeat the steps to get back into UEFI and choose to boot off of the USB device.

5. Play around with the live demo system and if you enjoy it, follow the on screen instructions to install Ubuntu either as a secondary option to MacOS X or Windows, or as the only option, whichever you prefer.

Hi to all @ JBHQ!

I created some wallpapers in anticipation of the new show (howtoLinux) that I\’m very much looking forward to.
Thought I\’ll share with you all. –> https://imgur.com/a/fs6N5
I am thinking of doing more wallpapers for some other JB shows.

Is it possible for you to release some sort of \”JB fan package\” including logos, templates etc, so that viewers/fans/people could create some cool wallpapers? I would love to see what the JB community could come up with.

Keep up the good work!

Peace, love & Linux,
Surya
