1. Event description
Support for Windows 10 is ending in October, and many older computers cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Installing Linux on your old computer will prolong its lifespan and help reduce e-waste. Bring your computer (from 2010 or newer) and we'll help you install Debian Linux. We will also provide assistance installing additional software and show you how to keep your system updated. All skill levels are welcome!
1.1. Notice for attendees
- Please have your data backed up beforehand. It is likely that the storage drive will be wiped during installation. We are not responsible for lost data.
