## 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 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.

## 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!
