Anleitung zur Selbstinstallation

We recommend getting in-person support for the best experience. However, if you feel you're technically versed enough to do it yourself, here's a general guide with the three main steps needed to install Linux.

Once you have picked a distribution, their website will have more detailed guides you can follow.

Before you start, make sure to back up any important data from the computer you're about to reinstall!
  1. Download a new OS
    Download the operating system you want to install. Search for Linux distributions for beginners to get some suggestions.
  2. Flash to a USB key
    Flash the operating system to a USB stick using a standard tool, such as Rufus. This will overwrite all data on the USB stick, so make sure to back up the files you want to keep.

  3. Boot and install on your computer
    Boot your computer from your USB stick. You will need to know the correct keyboard combination beforehand. At this point you will overwrite all data on the computer, so have a back up of the files you want to keep. Follow the instructions, and voilà! Welcome to your new, old computer!
