First of all I've chosen to post this in speedway rather than progress or intro, because I don't want the terms being cached by Google here and leading the target market here and causing confusion for the audience.
I hope that's okay, I can't think of a better way to share without changing the link juice.
This will mostly be a hobby level project,but it's better than not starting at all.
I've decided to add in some execution in which I try to increase the uptake of Ubuntu,by providing it for free.
This has a few advantages;
I can't be a money chaser, if I'm giving away a value add for no charge.
The product is already built and has lots of smart programmers.
I get copywriting/marketing portfolio experience, Ubuntu gets exposure, and users get a need met. If I'm going to work for free, I can work for anyone at that price. I choose Ubuntu.
No worries about VAT, and other complications, since I'm not making any money.
I'm convinced there is a demand for it which can't be reached currently. Here's a chance for me to prove it.
I've always been a fan of Debian based distros and now Ubuntu has moved away from unity back to Gnome it's rapidly gaining my heart back. I still think it's the most user friendly Linux version.
If this works it could be a great way of providing an action orientated mindshift opportunity. No product, no capital? Well here's a product, now go get users.
While the people here can give real feedback, after all something is being executed. I'm trying to introduce a product to a new audience, in a fastlane manner. The only difference is I don't want to make money.
I could inspire others to do the same and their will be more people spreading it, even when I'm not.
The whole community is way too tech orientated and badly nerds an injection of sales/marketing dna.
The lessons learnt, and tapping people here could be really valuable lessons for them and anyone wanting to learn (since I'm not making money personally, I don't need to worry about competition if I'm detailed)
So who do I want to use it? I want your average user who has never heard of Linux. They don't want a better OS or distro. They want cheap windows/Apple.
So I wrote some copy, and went to put it up somewhere. I think I chose bad places (gumtree,craigslist) or sounded too scammy as I got blocked. I think i also need to learn to write copy so I don't sound like a bad infomercial writer who has moved on to buzzfeed.

The one weird trick with badgers that software companies don't want you to know about.
Hello guys and gals (and others)
Do you use a computer? Are you using one right now to read this? (If not who printed it out?)
Do you find it too expensive? Are you buying new software?
Are you constantly looking for a cheap windows alternative?
What if I told you, you didn't have to pay £50 to use proper office software, instead of dealing with the poor quality on the free apps?
There's even more though.
Not only is there a cheaper alternative, but it comes with lots of add one avalibile in the store, including free alternatives to popular office and image editing software!
How much is it worth now? Well it’s below £30. But wait that's not all!
You only need to replace once every 5 years, rather than each time the CEO wants a new Ferrari! Why should you pay for their bling bling?
But wait there is even more.
Free support from the builders through the online forum. Do you get that with your current provider?
It just gets better and better, want multiple copies? Well you can have as many as you like! Feel free to copy it!!!
It's not hundreds of pounds, it's not tens of pounds, it's not even ten pounds. We won't even charge you a hapenny.
Get your free windows alternative now. It is called Bionic Badger Ubuntu, and you can download it right at the link below. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)
