What is the GNU/Linux help workshop
The GNU/Linux help workshop at Las Naves is an install party starting at 17:00, open to all levels—from those wanting to move away from Windows or Mac to users already familiar with Linux who have specific issues. The idea is to bring your own device and work on it with support from the organisers.
During the workshop, you can:
- Install GNU/Linux on your computer (remember to back up your data first).
- Discover free software and block ads and trackers.
- Create an account on the fediverse and get started with Mastodon, Pixelfed, or PeerTube.
- Resolve technical doubts or system issues.
What is the FediFiesta
The FediFiesta is a talk about the fediverse starting at 18:30, right after the workshop. It explains, in simple terms, what this network of free social media platforms is and how it works. The session covers how different platforms like Mastodon, Pixelfed, and PeerTube connect, what federation means, and why there’s no single owner of the network. There will be time for questions and assistance for those who want to open an account.
Who organises it
The event is organised by the GNU/Linux València Association, returning to Las Naves with their usual format of help and installation workshops. More information on their website: https://gnulinuxvalencia.org/2026-11-27-fedifesta-es
