Description

- Add suggested anonymous feedback form fields.

### Special Laptops
- Intel RST: Sleep usually does not work but installation worke fine.
- Bitlocker: Have to disable from Windows settings. Takes a while to decrypt. **HAVE TO CHECK BEFORE INSTALLING**.
- Some acer and HP with secure boot option under "boot" instead of "security". NOTE: It requires a code to be typed and confirmed.
- Windows fast boot enabled laptops: It kind of hibernates thr laptop instead of fully shutting down. Mounting the hibernated Windows drive in Linux can cause problems. Better to turn it off.

### "Why Linux?" Talk
- Hold a talk explaining why should students be bothered to use Linux?
- Document the rest
- Circulate a separate feedback form. Check previous form for fields.

### Install Fest
- Ventoy: Flash a few drives of our own with Ventoy and add a few distros like Pop OS (both intel and nvidia isos) and Linux Mint.
- Deprecate/try not to recommend Ubuntu due to its many issues such as pushing snaps, driver and package issues, etc.
- Let the audience know that there are many distros and let them explore to choose their distro. The non-speaker KOSS members can give them advice. CLEARLY WARN THEM OF NON BEGINNER-FRIENDLY DISTROS.
