## 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, we have various Dell Optiplex workstations that we snatched
|
||||
from the med school's e-waste (lol).
|
||||
|
||||
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 Apple Silicon (M1-M4) Macs
|
||||
|
||||
Due to their custom Apple silicon, the only Linux distro which works on M1/M2
|
||||
Macs is the experimental Asahi Linux. There is no support for M3 or M4. You
|
||||
still have the option of setting up a Virtual Machine to run Linux so feel free
|
||||
to come and chat with us!
