%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ORDER OF EVENTS:
First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements,
and then you can Call For Help during our Questions and Answers period.
Sometimes we will watch a video or have a slide show presentation,
after which there will be general discussions that usually lead to
additional topics.
Sometimes, there can be a live demonstration of a Linux distribution
(distro) installation, updating, changes, features and applications.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
TOPICS:
Whatever the newest user needs to know.
The newest user in the meeting may select general and specific topics.
We won't pick just one ahead of time. We will accept suggestions and
requests, as the course of the meeting will be entirely up to those
that attend. Join us to share our knowledge, learning experiences,
problem solving, techniques and troubleshooting.
We can mostly explore the traditional Graphical User Interface (GUI),
as it is easy to use, often familiar, and friendly to use. We will NOT
focus on the Command Line Interface (CLI) as it is seldom required and
generally optional for day to day use. However, it has many benefits.
We have access to many formal slide show presentations; but, we use
them only to present information and encourage discussion. We encourage
and prefer lively interaction and user questions. We always want user
questions to be asked. We never think that any question is too dumb.
A selected topic will NOT restrict the course of our meetings. These
topics are tentative. They are only suggestions.

TOPIC: Migrating to Linux Keeping My Games by Tyler Rudie
Migrating from a MS-Windows desktop to LinuxMint, and keeping my games!
Last month I was able to get my hands on a new Ryzen 5900X processor
and decided to rebuild my workstation. I decided that this time
around that I would attempt to move my workflow to Linux. This is
the story of my migration.
BIO:
Tyler Rudie is the Senior IT Support Engineer for Siemens Industry
Software Accounts Department. Yes his code touched your user
account when you got hired at Siemens.
He currently spends his days abusing Python and Powershell so
he can take long naps at work. So far, no luck. Management and
Coworkers keep finding him things to do.
Overkill is his middle name, the code bends to his will, and he
has curated a particular set of skills over the last 5 years. If
there is bad data; he will find it, and he will fix it.
One of these days he will get back to his Photography and
Astrophotography hobbies.

*Migrating from an MS-Win desktop to Linux Mint, and keeping my games!*
Last month I was able to get my hands on a new Ryzen 5900X processor and
decided to rebuild my workstation. I decided that this time around that I
would attempt to move my workflow to Linux. This is the story of my
migration.
Of course, there was the need to get stuff from work to work...automated
scripts sftwr, cmds to replace MS-Win cmds. But also wanted to get games
to work!
That focus will be around games in the Steam, Epic Game Store & Good Old
Games stores. I will also test the Blizzard Battle.net games.

enduring, continuously meeting personal computer organization active in
the Greater St. Louis Metro Area.

month from 6:30 PM until 9:00 PM Central Time, USA. We hope to maintain
that timeline into the future by using ONLINE sessions. All physical
