Join us for a Linux Install Party!!!Tired of paying for another upgrade of Microsoft Windows?
Have an old laptop gathering dust that you'd like to see given new life?
Want a computer that doesn't spy on you or have AI installed?
Bring your laptop to the library and we'll install a modern, sleek, and user friendly Linux operating system onto your computer --- All for free!Not ready to install Linux on your laptop but want to come test it out? Try out our demo laptops and see what it's all about! Come, hang out, and ask questions!


For those bringing your laptops to get Linux installed on it, please keep in mind the following:

  • Please backup any files and photos BEFORE you attend the install party. (The Linux installation will erase everything on the hard drive and install Linux on top of it. After the installation, you can move your files and photos back onto the computer.)

  • You'll sign a waiver and release form before the installation process. While we are experts and have a lot of experience doing this, because of the variety of computers out there and the number of variables that exist, the installation may fail. We will do our best and due diligence to get it working. While we expect all installations to succeed, some may not and the attempt may break your laptop. Please participate at your own discretion.
