Your computer should answer to you.
Replace Windows or macOS with a private Linux system that’s genuinely yours — no viruses to chase, nothing watching over your shoulder. And we set the whole thing up for you.
What changes for you
Windows and macOS are products sold by companies that also profit from watching you use them. Linux is built by a worldwide community with nothing to sell — it answers to no one but you.
Viruses stop being your problem
The overwhelming majority of viruses, ransomware and malware are written for Windows. Linux is a far smaller, far harder target — no antivirus subscription, no annual scare, no machine grinding to a halt.
Nothing is watching you
Windows and macOS keep reporting back even with the privacy settings switched off. Linux doesn’t phone home. What’s on your computer stays on your computer.
Your old laptop feels new again
Linux is light. Machines that crawl under Windows boot in seconds and run smoothly for years more — no forced upgrade just to stay usable.
Free — the software and the future
No licence fees, no subscriptions, no forced accounts, no ads in your own menu. The whole system and its everyday apps are free, and stay free.
It can’t be conscripted to spy on you
In 2026 California passed a law requiring operating systems to collect users’ ages during setup and expose that to apps. Windows, macOS, iOS and Android are all covered. Community-built Linux was specifically exempted — because there’s no company behind it to order around. That’s the difference in a single headline: when nobody owns the system, there’s nobody to compel your data out of it. The same reason it can’t track you is the reason it can’t be made to.
Yes — your everyday things still work
- Documents, spreadsheets, email, photos and video all have free, capable apps that open the files you already have — nothing gets left behind.
- It can look and behave just like Windows or a Mac — a taskbar, a menu, click-to-install apps. Most people never touch a command line.
- We match the look and feel to how you already work, so it feels like home from day one.
One honest catch: a few Windows/Mac-only programs (some Adobe apps, certain games) don’t run natively. There’s an excellent free equivalent for almost everything — and we’ll tell you straight if anything you rely on is affected before you commit.
You don’t need to become a tech expert — that’s our job. We source the machine (or convert yours), install and harden Linux, migrate your files, and hand it back working.
