About
In the spirit of friendly Halloween fun, we will be resurrecting more of your nearly “dead” laptops—working laptops you no longer use because their operating systems are outdated, or they are not powerful enough to run the latest versions of Windows or macOS. Bring in your laptop and we will resurrect it by installing Linux!
Do you have an old laptop lost in the netherworld of uselessness? Are you a Windows or Mac user in need of an exorcism to purge the spirits bogging your old hardware down? Sick of new AI assistants haunting your Laptop? Frustrated seeing older but perfectly usable laptops zombified because Microsoft or Apple no longer provide security updates? Then join us for this spooky and fun Linux install party, in a relaxed and supportive environment. Costumes encouraged!
