If you have a laptop that you wish to run Linux and do not feel confident to install Linux yourself, our service is the perfect solution for you. Most laptops ranging 2 - 10 years old are excellent candidates to run Linux on. We can install Linux on most laptops and even Macbook computers. So if you have a device that you would like to run Linux on but just do not wish to tackle the process yourself, ship us your system and we will take care of it for you.
For you MacOS users, if you just really like the look of MacOS and prefer to keep that look, we can for an extra $50 make your Linux install look like MacOS. Just choose the variant drop down on the right side to select that option. There will still be differences in operation because it is Linux but it will help you feel at home with its familiar look.
Before you send your laptop to us, please insure that all of your data is fully backed up to a safe and secure location. We will not be responsible for any data loss. The system will be wipe clean in the process and all data will be permanently deleted and unrecoverable.
We will ensure that your laptop is free of Windows or MacOS and securely running a modern user friendly Linux operating system.
Our standard Linux install is ZorinOS due to how simple and easy it is to use, however we can also install other “flavors” of Linux such as POP!_OS, Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition, and Ubuntu... which are also very easy to use.
Occasionally, for hardware compatibility issues, we may install a different Linux based operating system. We will let you know if this is the case prior to returning your device.
For MacBooks we stick to Linux Mint and Ubuntu. If you selected the “look like MacOS” option at checkout, we will specifically install Ubuntu as it has the closest interface comparison.
If you have a preference or request related to the above, or there are specific applications you would like us to install ahead of time for you, please send an email to support@mark37.com ASAP or reply to this message and we will do our best to accommodate.

Before you send your laptop to us, please insure that all of your data is fully backed up to a safe and secure location! WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR DATA LOSS THAT MAY OCCUR DURING THE PROCESS OF YOU SENDING US YOUR DEVICE.
