Abingdon-EndOf10

Windows 10 is ending support on October 14th 2025. This will lead to over 250 million computers vulnerable to hacking and will become incompatable with modern software. As most people replace their computers at this point, many computers will end up in e-waste. E-waste is incredibly toxic and harmful if not safely recycled. Just have a look at the inforgraphic below! However, instead of replacing your computer, you can install a version of GNU/Linux (called a distro), this is often percieved as a more complex process than installing Windows (which often comes pre-installed), but we can help! We are offering to help you install a GNU/Linux distro and help you get up and running with using it.
Please come along, we don’t bite! 😄 Infographic

When?

We are running from 10am-3pm on Saturday the 28th of June.
