Omaha Linux User Group

OLUG Presents the Linux Installfest 2025

by Jon on Jun. 4, 2025, under Meeting

The Omaha Linux User Group presents the Linux Installfest 2025!

Did you know that support for Windows 10 is going away? If your computer was made in 2010 or later, the hardware is not obsolete! You can install linux and get many more years of use. (Did you know Linux is under the hood of Android and Samsung smart phones?)
Join us on Saturday, August 16th 2025 from 10 AM to 4 PM at the AIM Brain Exchange located at 1902 Howard Street.

Linux hobbyists and professionals will be available to help you install linux on your computer or laptop. We can help you breath new life into your current or legacy hardware.

RSVP HERE!

A downloadable flyer is available here.
