Learn how to install and use Linux, a free operating system that works on most computers and gives you full control over your device.
About this Event

Windows 10 is no longer supported—looking for an alternative to a costly upgrade?
In this class, we’ll help you install Linux, a free and reliable operating system that runs well on most computers and puts you back in control of your technology. You’ll learn how to set it up, get comfortable using it, and discover where to find ongoing support after the class.

No advanced computer skills are required—just patience, curiosity, and an interest in taking charge of your computing future.

Instructors: Jason and Dan are software professionals and advocates for Free and Open-Source Software. Jason specializes in DevOps, including deploying on-premises AI. Dan is a back-end web developer, fan of self-hosting, and more recently has focused on OpenStreetMap.

Please bring a laptop that you are prepared to FULLY ERASE and a USB stick!
