Yesterday at my local masjid, a brother gave a great khutba about the incident that happened at Microsoft HQ with the Muslim woman quitting her job over the company's involvement in the support of the Israeli war machine.
I came up to the brother afterwards and asked him about getting off of windows and using linux instead, and why can't we all do our part and boycott Microsoft and all of these other tech corporations. He admitted that he hasn't thought about it, but he suggested that I do a workshop for him and other brothers to use Linux.
So I guess I'm being drafted to set up this workshop. I think I'll use this opportunity to get some brothers to think and adopt a cypherpunk approach to not just their OS but software in general. Might call it "making digital hijra".
I'm trying to make a draft now. I'll try to get brothers to think more about prioritizing FOSS over using Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. And I think I'll do a quick demonstration of installing Linux on an old laptop, just to show how easy the process is. And I'll also briefly go over FOSS alternatives to commonly used apps. Might even show how to run a VPN.
Does anyone have any other ideas for how I can go about this workshop?
