I've been thinking about how I can use my skills to help fight fascism. I keep coming back to helping folks #selfhost and move to #linux which helps us all be more #resilient and less reliant on Big Tech (which funds and drives fascism). I'm a #sysadmin by day and I have lots of experience with #helpdesk tasks like supporting end users with #tech and I think hosting a local #linuxinstallparty might be a great way to help my community. Anyone else in the #twincities of #MN have similar thoughts?

I'm not sure I'm as experienced with #linux as I'd like to be in order to fully run such a thing by myself, or even if there's that much interest by my community. But I'm willing to give it a shot with or without some partners I think.

@pmbrandvold@techtoots.com I would be interested in helping in an event like this. I've used Linux for 10+ years and I'd like to get more people using Linux. Located in Minneapolis
