What is Linux
Tired of Windows ?
What Is Linux? A Friendly Introduction
You've probably heard people mention "Linux" and wondered what it actually is — and whether it's something you'd ever need. This class answers that question in plain terms: what Linux is, why it exists as a real alternative to Windows and macOS, and why it might be worth a second look, especially if you've got an older computer that's started to feel slow or unsupported. We'll finish with a live demonstration on an actual Linux computer, so you can see for yourself that clicking around, opening programs, and finding your files works in a way that will feel familiar.
- Small classes, capped at 6 people, so there's time for your questions
- No quizzes, no tests — this is about curiosity, not grades
- No jargon and no command-line typing — this is a plain-language introduction, not a technical course
- Paced for seniors, with nothing assumed and nothing rushed
- We work together in a small group rather than sitting through a lecture
- Drawing on 20 years of teaching seniors about their technology
You'll leave with a real answer to "what is Linux," a look at how a basic install works, and a live look at it running — all without needing to touch a command line. If you're curious whether there's life beyond Windows and macOS, especially for an older machine, come see for yourself.
