The Security Professionals Guide To The Linux Desktop
Wednesday June 4, 2025 3:10pm - 4:00pm EDT
Upstairs, Grand Ballroom F/G
Want to learn how running Linux as your desktop OS can make your life BETTER? This talk is for you! Every year the Linux nerds say, “This will be the year of the Linux desktop!”. If we put Android and ChromeOS aside for a moment, there has never been such a year. However, I switched to Linux on my laptops in 2016 and fully converted all my desktops in 2019. I’m never looking back. Many of you reading this are already thinking/voicing your opinions. I’ve heard for so many years, “I don’t want to run Linux as my desktop because [blank]”. This talk will dispel the myths and hopefully getting you on team Linux desktop!  If you are open-minded about Linux as a desktop, haven’t tried it in a while, worried about Windows 10 going end-of-support in 2025, and want to learn about the benefits of the Linux desktop, this talk is for you. Maybe you even use Linux as your desktop OS and just want some tips and tricks; this is the talk for you. If you’ve already decided that Windows or MacOS is perfectly fine and Linux is just annoying, this talk may not be for you.
