Week 3 Materials - Intro to Linux

Hey folks, I was pleasantly surprised to see that some videos I created before detailing the install are still available. I recommend giving this a shot before class next week and we can see how we do. I can provide intermittent support via email or on Discord.
First, the videos, especially if that's a good way for you to learn. Note that while the in the video I use Linux Mint, these days I actually prefer MX Linux — try the first link available here: https://mxlinux.org/download-links/
