Alright guys, I'm offering you linux pros a chance to make an easy 50 Fg. I have to do a short speech on something Linux related. Honestly, I don't know shit about linux and have gotten barely anything out of this class. I'd still like to pass it however. So, I'm offering 50 Fg to the best topic posted in this thread. Please don't give me something very complicated. I only have to drag this speech out for about 5 minutes or so. It's just a short speech and the professor isn't expecting to much but I'd like to speak about something slightly interesting.
Thanks.

Willing to give an extra 50 Fg for a simple outline for the speech as well.

SteamVR runs on Linux ooooo

Leads

Linux, an operating system, like windows or mac os, allowing you to manage all aspects of the hardware associated with your system. you also have
(then just speak about the options such as the kernel, bootloader, daemons, graphical server, the shell, and so on...
for example, compare the graphical server to the way a video card speaks to your screen. ramble on about the specifics and boom, essay done w/passing grade, just be better at punctuation than i am.

Talk about Kali Linux and about some of its tools it offers, talk about how it can benefit a company to try an penetrate their own infrastructure using it to test for gaps in their security.

You could also mention that you see linux as a candidate for the future OS'ssess It has grown a lot, it is encrypted and safe, it is very stable, lots of people are working on it/with it and its even free!

Requires less performance from the computer aswell.

Imo 5 minutes you could just rabble up a lot of its benefits and features. Google linux benefits and you got a lot to talk about

You could talk about Vulkan, which is similar to DirectX in windows and OpenGL. And the possibilities of Linux gaming in future.

Yeah this is like the end of a Linux class, so going over the basics and pros/cons of Linux is just kinda super stale and boring. Literally just going to go with the SteamVR.



This was second.

You can write an entire speech on Kali Linux as Derek suggested. The tools themselves could have a solid 30+ minute speech written about them.

Look it up and take some notes on it. The tools there are mainly used for penetration testing, which is super beneficial for companies.
Then, you can segway into what penetration testing is.


Or... you can take about the Linux kernel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel
