Large Conference RoomHave an old, slow computer? Bring it back to life with Linux. Or free yourself from Microsoft and Apple by learning the basics of installing and using Linux.
Windows is no longer fulfilling the needs of a lot of people, due to incessant advertisement, AI features, regressions in functionality, and much more. In addition, it can become very slow on old, otherwise completely fine computers. So what can you do? Go the way of the penguin of course! Linux is an alternative operating system that is just as powerful if not more than Windows, with a cute penguin mascot named Tux.
In this class, I will show you top to bottom how to install, use, and maintain Linux on your computer. Switching can be tough, especially for more novice users, but I want to help you bridge that gap.
Hi, I'm Malachi, and I've been using Linux as my primary (an nearly only) operating system for about a year, and have had a lot of technical troubleshooting experience all my life. I have been using Linux full time for complex software tasks like Network Attached Storage, Development, Professional audio work, gaming, and so much more. Let me show you how to use your computer the way you want to use it!
Free and open to the public.
Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
