[ Support Internet Freedom ]
The Internet faces more government and corporate regulations than ever before, this is why it's time to get organized and contribute in a smarter way.
In this post we will discuss some points that we consider a good starting point for this issue:
A linux dystro is free, while other products are available for a inflated price and become obsolete over time, Linux can also be installed on many computers, without paying extra costs. Also, Linux security can be more robust, ie if a vulnerability appears today there will be a lot of patches tomorrow, plus you can control all aspects of the operating system.
Linux works perfectly well for old computers with little processing power or memory, you can use those machines with linux for any purpose you want like PoS or a personal file server, etc.
In addition to this, the decentralized and consensus systems such as the steemit platform have been in direct business as well as freelancers, which means, as is already well known, new markets.
Similarly, counting all the advantages of blockchain is really difficult. Blockchain systems can gradually overcome any centralized political institution through a distributed consensus and create the conditions for an idealistic society.
For the first time in history, citizens can now achieve global consensus and coordination through cryptographically verified procedures, etc.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is always struggling, they are always defending the free web and the rights of millions of people. Like the end to end encryption and many other cases. EFF's campaigns are working to fighting patent fraud and digital rights to ensure web freedom. And they are a really small group of people. On the following video you can learn about the context that the EFF is living today. Enjoy
An finally, It is always a good practice to keep in mind the procedures of critical thinking, such as:
Searching from various sources
Knowing about logical fallacies
The good habit of avoiding cognitive biases
and so on. If you have read until this point, you should also consider the option of writing software or getting involved too.
What other ways to contribute to the freedom of the Internet comes to you to your mind?

Will Linux work well on newer laptop machines made by Lenovo?
Do you mean the issue of merely booting Linux distros? I bought my Laptop in winter of 2016, with preinstalled Widows 8. Not Lenovo but Acer, though. It turned out to be necessary to disable safe boot first in order to boot any Linux distro.
I have a Lenovo with Windows 10. Can I remove Windows 10 and replace it with Linux?
You should be able to do this. Before installing Linux you should disable UEFI secure boot,
I reckon you are a beginner with Linux. If that is the case, choose a popular and easy distro like Linux Mint or Ubuntu Mate.
If I follow the steps in the video and then install a distro like Linux Mint will this give me more security and privacy?
It depends what aspects of security are important to you. Free and open source software in general gives more economic securityas it provides you with acces to a PC even when you do not have money for buying a next version of a proprietary OS like Windows. Moreover, by not relying on centralized corporations like Microsoft you limit the likelyhood of your failure when they fail.
When it comes to anonymity, it is Tails OS which is recommended by Wikileaks for sources, https://wikileaks.org/-Leaks-.html#submit_help_tips
