Install fests
An install fest is a session where volunteers help people install Linux on their own laptops.
What to bring
- Your laptop and charger
- A backup of anything important on it
- A USB stick of at least 8 GB (spares are usually available)
What happens
- A volunteer checks your hardware and helps you pick a distribution.
- You install it, dual-boot or on the whole disk, with help at each step.
- Before you leave, your system is updated from the Gulf mirror.
