Computers — Ubuntu
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.
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).
