There’s never been a better time to learn Linux; we give you a 60-minute Linux crash course! Discover just what Linux can do for you. We’re packing the ideal Linux starter pack with a bootable Live Disc that you can just insert and run, alongside a 9-page guide on getting up and running with Linux in no time! Amazing.

Linux doesn’t bug you for updates, snoop on you, there’s almost no malware, there’s no bundleware and you’re not locked out or in from playing, exploring and hacking the OS to your heart’s content. If you want to have fun with your computers again, give it a try – you might like it!
