Linux Support FAQs
How much does Linux installation or support cost in Ottawa?
Linux installation and troubleshooting starts at $30. Diagnosis is free and it's no fix, no fee.
Can you install Linux on an old laptop to make it usable again?
Yes. It's one of the best ways to keep using an older Windows laptop that's too slow for a current OS. We'll recommend a lightweight distribution (like Linux Mint or Ubuntu) suited to the hardware, migrate your files, and set up the software you actually use.
Can you switch my computer from Windows 10 to Linux Mint?
Yes. Linux Mint is the easiest move for most people leaving Windows 10: it looks familiar, runs well on older hardware and keeps getting security updates. We back up your files, install Mint (or set it up alongside Windows), move your files back and set up your browser, email and printer.
Can you set up Linux for my computer science or engineering course?
Yes: a dual boot, a virtual machine, or WSL on Windows, whichever your course and laptop suit best, with your development tools installed. See our virtual machine and dual-boot setup page for details.
Which Linux distributions do you support?
Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, Debian, Pop!_OS, and most other mainstream distributions. If you're not sure which one fits your needs, we'll help you decide.
Can you set up dual-boot with Windows and Linux?
Yes. We partition the drive, set up the bootloader and get both systems running side by side, without touching your existing files.
Do you help small businesses running Linux servers or NAS devices?
Yes. Linux file servers, NAS boxes and lightweight office machines are common in small businesses. We handle setup, software installation, networking, and troubleshooting as part of our business IT support.
