Linux installs & dual-boot setup in Prague.
First install, a distro switch, or Linux living alongside Windows on the same machine. Wi-Fi, graphics and printer drivers sorted as part of the job, not left for you to troubleshoot afterward.
What's included
- Distro choice: Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, or another distribution, matched to your hardware and how you'll use the machine.
- Installation: clean install, or dual-boot alongside your existing Windows setup.
- Driver setup: Wi-Fi, graphics, and printer drivers configured and tested, not assumed to "just work."
- Essential software: browser, office suite, and anything else you rely on day to day.
- A walkthrough: the basics of navigating a new system, so day one doesn't feel like starting from zero.
Dual-boot vs. full switch
Dual-boot keeps Windows installed alongside Linux, so you pick which one to start at boot, and nothing on the Windows side is touched. A full switch replaces Windows entirely, which is simpler day-to-day but means Windows-only software won't run without a workaround. Which one makes sense depends on what you actually use the computer for, and that's worth a quick conversation before committing either way.
Not sure Linux is right for you?
Describe what you use the computer for and I'm happy to talk through whether it's worth it.
What a Linux install costs
Frequently asked
Which Linux distribution should I choose?
Ubuntu and Linux Mint are the most beginner-friendly if you're coming from Windows or macOS. The right choice depends on your hardware and what you use the computer for, which I'll go through with you first.
Can I keep Windows and install Linux alongside it?
Yes, that's a dual-boot setup. You choose which system to start at boot, and your Windows files and programs stay untouched.
Will my Wi-Fi and printer work after switching to Linux?
In the large majority of cases, yes, once the right drivers are installed, which is part of the setup, not left for you to figure out afterward.
Can I switch back to Windows later if Linux isn't for me?
Yes. If it's a dual-boot setup, Windows is still there. If it's a full switch, a Windows reinstall is a separate, straightforward job.
How to get it sorted
- Tell me what you actually do on the machine. If you depend on one piece of Windows-only software, that changes the recommendation, and it's better known now than after the install.
- We settle on a distro and whether you're dual-booting or switching fully.
- Install, drivers and essentials get done in one session. You get a short walkthrough at handover so day one isn't a puzzle.
