David Z., the man himself who revived UCLA LUG in 2022, who has worked at Tesla and Apple, is visiting from the Bay Area. You can ask him about UCLA LUG history, what distros he recommends, how Linux is used in industry, how to get internships, or just joke around.

Free Pizza will be provided!!!
The Linux Users Group (LUG) at UCLA invites you to attend the quarterly Linux
Installfest! Please fill out the [RSVP form](https://forms.gle/Y13NJVaecBGSsP5X7)
to indicate your pizza preferences.
* Date: 2024-10-10 (Friday of Week 2)
* Time: 6-9 PM
* Location: Engineering IV, Maxwell Room (57-124)
* RSVP: [link](https://forms.gle/Y13NJVaecBGSsP5X7)
## 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 data, you can set
up a Virtual Machine instead.
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 and do a giveaway of some Dell Optiplexes.
## 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!
