## General Info
2024-04-03 21:37:45 -07:00
LUG hosts a quarterly installfest on Friday of 2nd week. Attendees will be
provided a USB drive and guide to dual booting their computers with Linux (most
likely Debian or Arch Linux). However, attendees are welcome to bring their own
flash drives and install any distro of their choice as well. Or if attendants do
not feel comfortable with the possibility of losing their data, they can set up
a Virtual Machine instead.

The officers will also be doing a show-and-tell of their own obscure hardware
which they have installed Linux on.

## Note on M1 and M2 Macs
2024-04-03 21:37:45 -07:00
Due to their custom Apple silicon, the only Linux distro which works on M1/M2/M3
Macs is the experimental Asahi Linux. You also have the option of setting up a
Virtual Machine to run Linux so feel free to come and chat with us!
