About This Workshop
Join Owen for this free, hands-on, 2-hour workshop designed to help you take control of your computer and explore a third option beyond Windows or Mac. Ideal for people who want to become more technical but are unsure where to start.
We will guide you through the process of installing Linux on your PC — covering BIOS unlocking, booting from a flash drive, full installation, and a test drive. The focus is on physical PC installation, not a VM or macOS.
What You'll Do
- Learn why Linux is a powerful, free alternative to Windows and Mac.
- Unlock your PC's BIOS and configure it to boot from a flash drive.
- Walk through a full Linux installation step by step.
- Take your new Linux setup for a test drive.
Mandatory Prerequisites
- Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC): You must bring your own working condition PC/laptop. MacBooks are not supported.
- Data Backup Required: Installing Linux will remove all existing data from the computer. Back up everything you need before attending.
