Linux on your hardware.
Old devices get slow, Windows licences get expensive, updates force replacement. Linux is the honest alternative: stable, resource-friendly, no licence trap. I install it on your existing hardware.
Four concrete reasons.
Devices 5-10 years old often run faster under Linux than they ever did under Windows — a good argument against buying new.
Linux is and stays free. LibreOffice instead of Microsoft 365, Firefox instead of Edge — all without subscription pressure.
No forced telemetry, no forced cloud sign-ins. You retain control over your data.
Security updates without forced reboots, updates that don't slow the system down, a clear update policy.
What happens during installation.
- ▸Advice on the right Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora etc.)
- ▸Backup of your existing data
- ▸Fresh Linux installation on your device
- ▸LibreOffice for documents, spreadsheets, presentations
- ▸Firefox / Chrome as browser, Thunderbird for email
- ▸Printer and peripheral setup
- ▸Transfer of existing data and bookmarks
- ▸Brief introduction & quick reference card for daily use
When switching pays off.
- ▸Older devices (5+ years) noticeably slow under Windows
- ▸If you want to reduce Microsoft Office subscription costs
- ▸If you want less telemetry / more privacy
- ▸Secondary devices, office PCs, simple workstations
- ▸Schools, associations, NGOs with tight IT budgets
- ▸Anyone curious to try Linux without risk
When Linux is not the right fit.
Linux is an excellent system — but not for every use case. For transparent expectations:
- ▸If you depend on specific Windows-only software (e.g. specialised industry software, some Adobe products).
- ▸For gaming workstations with the latest AAA titles and anti-cheat systems.
- ▸If you rely heavily on Microsoft 365 (e.g. SharePoint as central storage, Teams as primary system).
- ▸For hardware with very specific driver requirements (some printers, scanners, specialist peripherals).
