Social Switch – Linux Instead of Electronic Waste
The gathering for digital independence at display.
Is your current laptop no longer able to run Windows 11? Do you still have an old device that you hardly ever use because it’s just too slow? Don’t let it turn into electronic waste—stop by Social Switch: We’ll show you how to get your laptop back in shape!
Linux often requires fewer resources, runs on older devices, and will continue to receive security updates for a long time to come. (However, it can’t fix broken hardware or magically make up for insufficient RAM.)
Have you always wanted to know what Linux is all about, but think it’s only for tech experts? At Social Switch, we’ll dispel these misconceptions, show you the benefits of Linux, and explain just how easy the switch can be!
Who is this session for?
Whether you’ve been thinking about switching to Linux for a while, want to deepen your knowledge of operating systems, or are simply curious and want to check it out, come on by!
What you need to bring
- An old laptop you want to salvage
- An interest in Linux
- Your questions about operating systems
- P.S.: Don’t forget your data! If you have lots of photos, videos, or other important files on your laptop, please back them up beforehand. Don’t have an external hard drive or USB flash drive handy? No problem—we’ll have some available for you there.
