+## General Info
+
+LUG hosts a quarterly installfest on Friday of the 2nd week. We will start by
+giving a presentation on Linux to get newcomers up to speed. Then, attendees
+will be provided a USB drive and guided in dual booting their computers with
+Linux (most likely Ubuntu, Debian, or Linux Mint). However, you are welcome to
+bring your own flash drives and install any distro of your choice. Or if you
+don't feel comfortable with the possibility of losing their data, you can set
+up a Virtual Machine instead.
+
+This time around, there will be a demo of a Linux install on a 2014 Mac Mini,
+recently plucked from the e-waste.
+
+The officers will also be doing a show-and-tell of their own hardware which
+they have installed Linux on. Experienced users are also encouraged to show off
+their own setups.
+
+At the end, we'll have a SuperTuxKart LAN party with our freshly installed
+Linux machines.

+## Past Installfests

+
+## Note on M1 and M2 Macs
+
+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!
