Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, software, materials and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into reality.
What Is Ubuntu? Ubuntu is a popular free and open-source Linux-based computer operating system. It is often installed on older computers, or computers with few resources, to extend their useful life.
We maintain one Ubuntu Workstation, one Ubuntu 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).
