Do you have an old laptop or desktop sitting in the corner gathering dust? Don’t throw it away just yet — we can bring it back to life! At Lithgeek, we install Linux on old computers for customers in Katoomba, Leura, Wentworth Falls, and across the Blue Mountains.
Why Linux?
Linux is a powerful, free operating system that can make old computers fast, safe, and reliable again. Unlike Windows, Linux doesn’t need the latest hardware to run smoothly. It’s perfect for:
- Browsing the web
- Sending emails
- Watching videos
- Writing documents or using spreadsheets
- Learning basic computer skills
Many of our Katoomba customers are amazed at how quick their old computers feel after switching to Linux — it’s like getting a new machine for a fraction of the cost!
We Do All the Hard Work for You
If you’re not tech-savvy, don’t worry — that’s where we come in. We’ll handle everything for you:
- Check your computer’s health
- Install a lightweight Linux version that runs fast on older hardware
- Set up your web browser, email, and office tools
- Show you how to use it with simple, easy-to-follow instructions
We even offer ongoing support and classes so you can get confident using your “new” computer.
Perfect for Seniors and Everyday Users
We’ve helped many Katoomba seniors and families get back online without the frustration of slow, outdated systems. Linux is secure, simple, and free from most viruses — ideal for safe everyday computing.
