Linux Install Fest Docs

[harshkhandeparkar]

• Add suggested anonymous feedback form fields.

Special Laptops

• Intel RST: Sleep usually does not work but installation worke fine.
• Bitlocker: Have to disable from Windows settings. Takes a while to decrypt. HAVE TO CHECK BEFORE INSTALLING.
• Some acer and HP with secure boot option under "boot" instead of "security". NOTE: It requires a code to be typed and confirmed.
• Windows fast boot enabled laptops: It kind of hibernates thr laptop instead of fully shutting down. Mounting the hibernated Windows drive in Linux can cause problems. Better to turn it off.

"Why Linux?" Talk

• Hold a talk explaining why should students be bothered to use Linux?
• Document the rest
• Circulate a separate feedback form. Check previous form for fields.

Install Fest

• Ventoy: Flash a few drives of our own with Ventoy and add a few distros like Pop OS (both intel and nvidia isos) and Linux Mint.
• Deprecate/try not to recommend Ubuntu due to its many issues such as pushing snaps, driver and package issues, etc.
• Let the audience know that there are many distros and let them explore to choose their distro. The non-speaker KOSS members can give them advice. CLEARLY WARN THEM OF NON BEGINNER-FRIENDLY DISTROS.
