Device Refurbishing

Breathe New Life into Your Old Computer

With the passing of time, our computers start to show age or slowness, making everyday tasks a struggle. Eventually, support from the manfacturer ends or operating system updates stop altogether. Then what?

If this describes your computer, but you aren’t ready to give it up or can’t afford a new one, we can help!

We’ll work with you to create a custom refurbishing plan that fits how you use your computer – whether it’s simply for browsing the web and checking email, tackling office tasks, enjoying games, or getting creative. We’ll first back up all your important data, and then install an easy-to-use version of Linux – a powerful, open-source operating system supported by a global community of developers – to give your hardware a new lease on life.

Why Choose Refurbishment with Linux?

  • Save Money: Avoid the cost of a new computer by keeping your old one running, safely.
  • Extend the Life of Your Tech: Get many more years of updates and support for your existing hardware.
  • Boost Performance: Linux can dramatically improve the speed and responsiveness of older computers.
  • Eco-Friendly: Reduce e-waste and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Already Bought a New Computer?

We also gratefully accept donated devices. These devices are securely erased, refurbished and made available to individuals and organizations in need within our community, ensuring everyone has access to reliable technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the software I need compatible with Linux?

Absolutely! Linux supports many popular applications:

  • Web Browsers: Chrome and Firefox work seamlessly, giving you access to all your favorite online tools.
  • Desktop Applications: App stores like Flathub and Snap provide easy access to a wide range of software, including Slack, Discord, Zoom, and Spotify.
  • Gaming: Steam is fully supported, and many games run natively on Linux.

Is Linux difficult to learn?

Not at all! We aim to make the experience as familiar as possible and will take the time to make sure you are comfortable navigating and using your device.

  • The basic tasks – shutting down, logging in, finding files, installing apps – are just as intuitive as on Windows or Mac.
  • You can choose a desktop environment (the main interface you see and interact with) that feels familiar – for example, Gnome (similar to Mac) or Plasma (similar to Windows), both of which you can be customized it to your liking!
