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 + +You can view pictures from past installfests [here](https://linux.ucla.edu/zenphoto/). + +## 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!
