General Info

LUG hosts a quarterly installfest on Friday of 2nd week. Attendees will be provided a USB drive and guide to dual booting their computers with Linux (most likely Debian or Arch Linux). However, attendees are welcome to bring their own flash drives and install any distro of their choice as well. Or if attendants do not feel comfortable with the possibility of losing their data, they can set up a Virtual Machine instead.

The officers will also be doing a show-and-tell of their own obscure hardware which they have installed Linux on.

At the end, we’ll have a SuperTuxKart LAN party with our freshly installed Linux machines.

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!
