At Pikes Peak Makerspace, we maintain one Ubuntu Workstation, one Ubuntu (Apple MacBook Pro) laptop, three Windows 10 Design Workstations, other Windows computers in most of our work areas, and multiple printers for all our members to use without any additional required training (Level 1).
What Is Ubuntu? Ubuntu is a free and open-source (FOSS) Linux-based computer operating system.
It is often installed on older computers, or computers with few resources, to extend their useful life.
