# Installing Linux Operating system

In this documentation, I am writing to brain dump the things each time I do installation.<br>

### My preffered OS

#### &#x20;I usually prefer to install debian. I prefer to install debian because of it's stability, people I know and the core philosophy of the project. That's why I install it.

I have two free bootware USB sticks. With this it's pretty easy to install anything. The first one was gifted by Abhijit P A, Debian Developer and second one I got it during Debconf.

### Add user to sudoers

Edit: /etc/sudoers\
\
Add username in that file as:\ <br>

```
username ALL=(ALL) ALL
```

### Displays in Linux

For screensharing - How to use two monitors or share when giving presentations??

It wasn't as complicated as I expected. Just press function key and then press the key for screensharing in laptop.

> In my case it was: FN+ F7 key
