Love your current laptop but hate Microsoft/Windows and Apple/MacOS all up in your business all the time? Install Linux!

What is the make, model and year of your device?

Is there anything else we should know about this device or what you need installed?

Description

Ditch Microsoft’s Windows and/or Apple’s MacOS… GO LINUX!

If you have a laptop that you wish to run Linux, and do not feel confident enough to install it yourself, our service is the perfect solution for you. Most laptops ranging 2 – 10 years old are excellent candidates to run Linux. 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.

Step 1 – After your order has been placed, you’ll be asked to fill out a web-form asking for the specific make/model/year of your device. Please send us this info ASAP so we can confirm there will be no issues with the install. We will reply quickly with relevant details such as where to ship the device and let you know if there are any issues anticipated with the install (there rarely are, but there is always a chance based on the make/model/year of the device).

Step 2 Backup your data! We can not and will not be liable for preserving your data on the device while the device ships to us or from us.

Step 3 – Safely package the laptop and ship it our way! If you can send us the tracking information when you ship, that would be very much appreciated. When the package arrives, we will send you a notification as well. We are working to streamline this process, but for now, this is the best system we’ve got.

Step 4 – Once received, we will get to work and let you know when the device is configured and back in the mail on route to you. Our turn around time from when the item is received is usually 2-3 business days. If this takes longer for any reason, we will let you know via email and/or phone depending on the severity of the delay or issue we are facing with your device.

Linux Install Service on Your PC (Dell, HP, ASUS, Lenovo, etc.)

Nearly all standard PC’s can run Linux. We try and standardize on running a Ubuntu based Linux distribution called Zorin, however, some laptops may not be compatible with this option. Please check out Zorin.com to learn more about this operating system! We believe Zorin is the simplest and most user friendly Linux based operating system available with established documentation and support to help customers and our own team troubleshoot as//if needed.

Linux Install Service on Your Macbook (You must select this above prior to checkout)

Our Linux Install Service provides you with the opportunity to run Asahi Linux on your Macbook, featuring the KDE Plasma desktop environment. This service focuses on delivering a versatile and privacy-focused computing experience.

It’s important to set realistic expectations about hardware compatibility and functionality. Due to certain hardware limitations, particularly with M1 and M2 chips, some features like full Thunderbolt 4, USB 4, and high refresh rate displays may not be fully supported. The ports themselves will work, but the additional features that Thunderbolt and USB 4 provide will not be available. Other functionalities such as Touch ID, Touch Bar, and local dimming displays might also have limited support or require additional configuration.

We will let you know what specific limitations apply, if any, based on the information provided in the web-form received after checkout.

We aim to offer a reliable Linux experience on your MacBook, tailored to optimize performance within the constraints of your device’s hardware. This includes professional installation, customized setup, and ongoing support for OS specific issues you may come across. Despite the limitations, our service ensures that essential features like display, keyboard, trackpad, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth are well integrated and functional.
