GNU-Linux Install Fest (B24) - August 31, 2024

FOSSCELL successfully conducted a GNU-Linux Install Fest for the B24 batch in two separate sessions held in the morning and evening.

The fest began with an informative talk on GNU/Linux by FOSSCELL members, aimed at helping students understand what GNU/Linux is and why it is important. The talk also served as an introduction to the world of open source software.

The install fest alleviated students' concerns about switching to Linux, making the transition smoother. Participants had the option to choose from a wide array of distributions, ranging from popular ones like Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora to more niche options like Alpine and Arch.

Additionally, the install fest introduced students to NITC's GLUG discussion forum, where they could ask questions and resolve any issues they encountered while using their devices. Overall, the event was a tremendous success, helping over 100 students transition to Linux.
