Good afternoon, I’m <insert name here> of Go2Linux.
Today, I’ll be narrating my proposal for Faster Computing.
I’ll present my recommendations for migrating Faster Computing to Linux.
1
Benefits
<insert narration>
There are a number of benefits for Faster Computing in migrating to Linux, to include:
It is an open source because users with programming knowledge can customize it (Yalta & Lucchetti, 2008). It is also free fro use as the users do not need a license to use it. Moreover, its download is easier compared to other systems (Yalta & Lucchetti, 2008). The Linux system rarely hangs and the users do not have to reboot their devices making it the most suitable for use. It is flexible because it can be used in different platforms. For instance, it can be used on desktop applications, embedded system and server applications and that explains its flexibility. Linux does not ask a lot of private information from users.

Recommendation: <Ubuntu>
<insert narration>
Go2Linux recommends <Ubuntu> for Faster Computing. <Ubuntu> is a <most preferable distro because it comes with security, support and sustainability features >.
Be specific on the version of Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Redhat, CentOS, Kali) and give specific reasons for your choice (e.g., security features, support, updates, user interface).
In terms of security features, nothing can be accessed without passwords. The users are required to set strong passwords. Also, it does not require much information from the users like other platforms making it more secure, and lastly, it does not require anti-virus to function.
Support <For the support feature, Linux has different forms of support it offers for its users including developmental aid for the new users (Yalta & Lucchetti, 2008). It has a strong network platform and its installation process is simple>.
Suitability <In terms of suitability, it can support multitasking, can be integrated with different files and it can work using different programming language including C, Python, C++ etc .>.

Migration Steps
<insert narration>
The migration process to the Linux OS will start from the very basic, communication. The Faster Computing group has to inform its staff of the migration to the Linux to prepare them psychologically. After communication, training of the employees sets on. The company has to train its staff on the new Linux OS. After training, the testing of the Linux system should be done. The testing will determine whether the Linux OS has the desired benefits as highlighted after which the company will establish a backup before finalizing with migration. The back process will ensure that essential information is stored in a safe device where it can be retrieved.

Tools to provide file sharing, services, and printing

<insert narration>
Among the tools that are used for file sharing when using Linux is Dropbox and Nitroshare. Dropbox is used for file access, synchronization and sharing of files (Hasan, 2021). Nitroshare has simple and user friendly design interface for file sharing (Hasan, 2021). For printing, Linux provides different printing options such as KDE print which enables the users to access printing systems.

Summary
The benefit of Linux is that it is secure, flexible, stable, compatible etc.
The most appropriate distro is Ubuntu because of its suitability, support, and security
Can share files, print documents, and provide different services
Migration will start with communication and training
In summary, my proposal has demonstrated why Faster Computing should migrate existing computers to <Ubuntu Linux Distro>.
The Linux OS is more flexible, secure, provides supports and suits different types of users. The Ubuntu distro is further preferred because of its ease of use. Linux, like windows, provides file sharing and printing options alongside the support services. Therefore, Faster Computing should move to the Linux Operating System. Before migration, the company should train its staff of the new OS and distro after the communication process to ensure the best results. Be sure to enjoy the simplicity of Linux and its secure features!
