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 an HP Elitebook +laptop, obtained from a corporate e-waste pile... + +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 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.
