Hi there, I’m about to organize an install party for my local community with the help of two other Linux enthusiasts. Has anyone ever done that here? Do you have any tips on which distro to install or what people absolutely need to know before leaving the room?

On the distro side I’m thinking fedora or Linux mint buy I have no experience with the latter, it just seems very beginner-friendly.

I’m also planning to start with a quick presentation on what is linux and the basis (distribution, package manager, root, …).

Also, I don’t know how much time we need (I guess it depends on how many people show up but we’ll certainly limit to 10 or so per party).

Thanks for your help 🙂

    I’ll have my first Install Party next week. I will install Linux Mint because it is easy and well documented. I’ll bring a laptop with a clean install. So I can teach some basics while the installations are is running.
