+# Introduction
+
+This is a concise guide to install Linux. It can be used as a
+standalone guide, although we recommend that you attend our Install Events
+during the LinuxDays so that experienced users can help you with your
+installation.
+
+The guide help you to create an install stick, prepare your existing operating system
+and finally install Linux. We also included some links to distribution-specific 
+installation resources, for the most up-to-date instructions.
+
+At the end of the guide, we include some software recommendations.
+
+## Overview
+
+Installing Linux is done in three steps:
+
+- Flash an USB Stick with the Linux installer
+- Prepare your existing operating system
+- Install Linux
+
+We will help you at each step. If you encounter problems or have suggestions how to improve this guide feel free to reach out!
+
+## LinuxDays Install Event
+
+_You can skip this part if you do not physically attend the install events_
+
+Welcome to the LinuxDays Install Event! We are happy you could make it.
+
+### Staff
+
+Our staff is easily recognizable by their blue T-Shirts. Feel free to ask them
+about Linux, TheAlternative, Free Software or anything else.
+
+We will help you if you are unable to proceed with the install guide or have
+any other questions. If we do not have an immediate answer, we know who to ask
+or where to look it up.
+
+Also, feel free to stay and just chat :)
+
+### Demolaptops
+
+We have prepared some laptops with different distribution and desktop
+environments. You can try them out, and decide what you like best.
+
+If you do not really care or can not decide, we will try to recommend
+something based on what you want to use Linux for.
+
+### USB Install Sticks & Install Guide Copies
+
+We have prepared USB Install Sticks so you can get started right away with 
+installing Linux.
+
+Further, we have printed copies of the Install Guide if you rather have a 
+printed version than look at it on you phone. 
+
+### Anything else?
+
+We have adapters (like USB to LAN), hubs, mouse and keyboards, ...

install_event/20_flashstick.md

+# Flash Stick
+
+You will prepare a stick from which you can install Linux from.
+
+_If you are at one of our Install Events, we already prepared USB sticks. Choose a distribution (read on) then come to the welcome desk to get your stick._
+
+## Choosing a distribution
+
+In the words of Richard Stallman:
+
+> What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system > made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX."
+
+In simpler terms: Linux by itself is not a full operating system (rather than a vital technical part of it). You need to choose a distribution (a "wrapper" around Linux) which will define to a large extend how you as a user will interact with the operating system (like installing new programs, how the desktop looks by default, ...).
+
+As choosing a distribution is heavily opiniated, we describe it here very short. Feel free to reach out to us for a personal recommendation based on your specific needs.
+
+If you "just want Linux", we recommend you go with [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/). As a more open but also very stable alternative we recommend [Fedora](https://getfedora.org/). Truly Free (as in Freedom!) is [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/).
+
+For each of these distributions we give you starting points for a successful installation. If you want to install other distributions feel free to do so; and we will do our best to help you. If you are an enthusiast and want to try to install something more advanced (like [Arch Linux](https://www.archlinux.org/)) come join us :).
+
+## Download ISO
+
+You need to download an image containing the operating system installer. Visit the webpage of your favourite distribution and download it.
+
+If you have to choose from multiple versions, here some guidance of commonly used terms:
+
+- `amd64`, `i386`, ... refers to the architecture of your device. If you have a laptop / PC, it is very likely that you need `amd64` (else you'd probably know it).
+- `LTS` stands for long term support; meaning this specific version of the distribution will receive security updates for much longer than other versions.  
+
+## Create install USB Stick
+
+Get a USB stick of at least 8 Gb (make sure you do not need the data on it anymore!).
+Flash (="Put") the .iso file you have just downloaded on the USB stick.
+
+On windows, you can use [rufus](https://rufus.ie/). On macOS, you can use [etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/).

install_event/30_prepare.md

+# Prepare Windows / Mac
+
+If you want to keep your existing operating system (Windows or macOS) you need to prepare it.
+This will allow you to "double-boot", hence choose at startup which operating system to run.
+
+If you do not want to keep your existing operating system, you can skip this section.
+
+## About Partitioning
+
+Disk partitioning is the separation of different regions on a hard drive or an SSD. 
+This separation is used to install two different operating systems on a computer or 
+simply to have different regions for different purposes (like a partition for your data and one for the programs).
+
+We recommend to have at least 40GB of space partitioned for Linux. If you know you
+need programs for your studies (e.g. Matlab, which is around 30GB), please have enough free disk
+space to install the desired programs and probably some extra, just in case.
+
+Be aware that repartitioning later is practically impossible, so try to be on the safe side.
+If you do not have space constraints, with 100Gb all you wildest wishes should be fulfillable.
+
+## Windows 10
+
+If you have Windows (and want to keep it) follow on.
+
+### Making Space for Linux
+
+Shrink Windows partition:
+
+- Open `create and format hard disk partitions` or `diskmgmt.msc`.
+- Look for the large Windows partition at the bottom.
+- Right-click on it and select `Shrink Volume...`
+- Shrink it so you have enough space available.
+
+If you are unable to shrink the partition, use a tool like `EaseUS Partition Master`
+or try it in the Linux installer. Ask a helper for assistance.
+
+If you do not have enough space, you can free up disk space with these tips:
+
+- Open `Disk Cleanup` and click on `Clean up system files`. Select all that apply.
+- Open `Add or Remove Programs` and remove unneeded programs
+- Download `WinDirStat` from https://windirstat.net/ and find where the large files are hiding
+
+### Disable Bitlocker
+
+Bitlocker encrypts your disk, but unfortunately it is not compatible with Linux
+boot loaders.
+
+Disable Bitlocker:
+
+- Open `cmd` as administrator: Press Windows Key, type `cmd`, then 
+  right click on `Command Prompt` and select `Run as administrator`)
+- Type `manage-bde -status` and look for `Conversion Status: Fully Decrypted`
+- For any drive which is not `Fully Decrypted`, type `manage-bde -unlock C:` 
+  (replace `C:` with the drive you need to decrypt), and press Enter. 
+- Wait for decryption to end (execute `manage-bde -status` for status
+  updates)
+
+You can also try to disable Bitlocker over the UI (look for `Manage Bitlocker`)
+but it has been confusing to do so in the last few years.
+
+### Fast Boot
+
+`Fast boot` allows Windows to boot faster, but when it is active, the windows 
+file system will be inaccessible to other OSes (like Linux).
+
+You can avoid the `Fast boot` mode by explicitly choosing to `Restart` (rather than `Shut down`)
+in windows.
+
+Alternatively, you can simply disable fast boot:
+
+- Find the battery icon in the task bar
+- Right-click and select `Power Options`
+- Select `Choose what the power buttons do`
+- Select `Change settings that are currently unavailable`
+- Remove the check mark at `Turn on fast startup`
+
+### Booting the installer 
+
+Make sure your Linux install stick is plugged into your PC.
+
+Click `Restart` in the Windows start menu, while holding down the `Shift` key.
+A `Please wait`-text appears, after which Windows should enter the troubleshooting
+menu.
+
+From this menu you can choose a startup device, or enter the UEFI settings.
+
+- To choose the startup device, select `Use a device`. As we want to boot from the
+  Linux USB stick choose `USB FDD` or similar.
+- To enter the UEFI settings, select `Troubleshoot`, `Advanced Options` and then `UEFI
+  Firmware Settings`.
+
+If none of this works, you can try to change the startup device immediately after booting.
+This guide will explain how in the next chapter.
+
+## macOS
+
+<span style="color:red">
+Note that on modern Apple computers it is generally not advisable to install Linux
+(MacBooks after 2016 simply are not very compatible with Linux.)
+</span>
+
+Up-to-date information on the status of Linux support on MacBooks can be found
+[here](https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux).
+
+### Shrink your OS X partition
+
+On OS X, we will resize your existing partition to make
+space for your new Linux system.
+
+- Go to `/Applications/Utilities` and open the `Disk Utility`.
+- Select your main disk in the list to the left (usually the first or the largest).
+- Select the tab `Partition`.
+- On the left side there is a white rectangle with some blue threshold indicating the space consumed by Mac OS X.
+- Click and hold the lower right corner of that rectangle and draw the cursor upwards, to shrink the volume.
+- The text on the right will give you information about the freed memory.
+- Once you are satisfied, click `Apply` to confirm the shrinking operation.
+
+### Install rEFInd
+
+We will install the bootloader on OS X before the Linux
+installation. *rEFInd* will boot your USB Install Medium as well as your
+operating system later on.
+
+- Browse the web for [http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/getting.html](http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/getting.html) and scroll down a bit to click the link *A binary zip file*.
+- Once the download has completed, go to the *Download folder* and extract the file.
+- Open a Mac terminal by going to `Application/Utilities` and opening `Terminal`.
+- Type `cd ` (with a space afterwards, but do **not** press *Enter*  yet) and drag the extracted folder into the terminal.
+- Now, hit *Enter* and then type `./refind-install`.
+- When prompted for your password, enter it. (You won't see what you enter at the password prompt at all. You have to enter your password blindly.)
+
+### Troubleshoot
+
+In case you get an error message saying *ALERT: SIP ENABLED*, you need to do the following:
+
+- Turn off your Mac and start it again, pressing `Cmd + R` immediately after turning it on again (you might want to hold it for a while).
+- Your Mac should boot in `recovery mode`. Go to `Utilities` and open up a terminal.
+- Now type: `csrutil disable`.
+- Then reboot back into your normal system and try to install *rEFInd* again.
+- After installation, feel free to go once more into recovery and type `csrutil enable`.
+
+### Booting the installer
+
+We will now boot from your USB Install Medium.
+
+- Plug your USB Install Medium into your laptop.
+- Reboot your machine and *rEFInd* should see the USB key.
+- Your USB installer may have several ways to boot. They all will show up and have a little USB icon to the bottom right.
+- Usually the first USB installer is correct. If it doesn't work, reboot and try the others.
+- If your USB installer doesn't show up, hit `Escape` to refresh the list. It should show up now.
+- If you see multiple USB keys, try each of them until you find the Linux installer.

install_event/50_install.md

+# Install
+
+You are all set to install Linux on your device.
+
+If you have not yet done so; ensure you have backed up all your data!
+In the (unlikely) case something goes terribly wrong, you can recover your data.
+
+## Boot from Stick
+
+You now want to boot from the USB stick (if you have not already done so, depending on your existing operating system).
+
+This step can be tricky, as the way to accomplish this is different over different devices and brands.
+Generally you need to look for something like "BIOS" or "startup device". 
+You then need to choose the USB stick as the startup device.
+
+You can enter the BIOS or change the startup device usually with the function keys (such as F1, F8, F10, F12) or with other keys like ESC or Enter.
+
+The most common keys by brand:
+- Lenovo: Enter
+- HP: Esc
+
+## Partitioning
+
+This can either be done automatically by the Linux distributions
+installer, or manually if you want more control over your setup. If you are
+unsure about what setup you want, it might be best to follow the automatic setup.
+
+![Example partitions for a system with Linux only](images/partitions.png)
+
+![Example partitions for a dual boot system](images/partitions2.jpg)
+
+### Automatic setup
+
+The various installers usually offer an option to either install alongside an
+existing operating system (Windows/Mac), or to use the entire disk and erase
+previously installed systems. If you choose to install alongside something
+else, there is usually an option to choose how much space you want to allocate
+for the new system. Note that the partition for the old system will also have
+to shrink by this amount.
+
+### Manual setup
+
+If you want a manual setup these are some partitions you might consider:
+
+- `/boot`: This is the boot partition for EFI. This already exists and will be reused when installing your new operating system.
+- `/` (root). A root partition is required for all installations. This is where
+  all the operating system files live.
+- `/home`: Some users like to their home directory on a different partition.
+  This can make re-installation of a distribution easier. However, this is
+  entirely optional.
+- `/swap`: A swap partition is used as an extension for your machines memory,
+  if it ever fills up. Nowadays, a lot of people omit this on personal computers.
+
+You will also be able to choose a file system for `/` and `/home`. Almost
+always the `ext4` filesystem should be used. If you know what you are doing,
+you can of course also choose something else.
+
+## Ubuntu
+
+We recommend to follow the [official install-guide](https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop) for installing Ubuntu.
+
+As further resources, we recommend the [Ubuntu Wiki](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/) and the [askubuntu StackExchange](https://askubuntu.com/).
+
+## Fedora
+
+The top-level documentation for Fedora can be found on the official [Fedora
+docs website](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/docs/).
+
+The following links are a good starting point:
+
+- The Fedora [install guide](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f31/install-guide/Introduction/)
+- The [usage and customization guide](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/)
+- The guide for upgrading to a new [release](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/)
+
+## Open SUSE
+
+For getting started with OpenSuse we recommend going through [Unofficial
+openSUSE Guide](https://www.opensuse-guide.org), since it gives a good overview
+and can save you some time.
+
+Also check out the [Start-Up Guide](https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/single-html/book.opensuse.startup/index.html)
+from their website and the [documentation](https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Documentation) if you have
+further questions or want to work with the official material.

install_event/90_software.md

+# Software
+
+These are software recommendations for Linux. Most of these are graphical
+programs, but there are some programs that run in the terminal only. Note that
+these programs have various licenses, some might not even be "libre" software
+(due to them becoming closed source at a later point, or this list having
+errors)!
+
+Some programs are annotated if they are best used on GNOME or KDE. This does
+not mean they cannot be used on the other environment, but the visual
+integration might be lacking in these cases.

+# Troubleshooting
+
+A chapter for some advanced troubleshooting. If you need something contained 
+in this chapter, better ask some advanced user for help (or one of our helpers if you are at our Install Event).
+
+## Microsoft Surface
+
+### Something doesn't work
+
+Microsoft Surface devices usually require a patched kernel.
+[See this project](https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface) to install
+such a kernel.
+
+## Wireless
+
+### Broadcom on Ubuntu doesn't work
+
+[See this.](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx)
+
+### Installing Broadcom Firmware
+
+*openSUSE:*
+
+`sudo zypper install b43-fwcutter`
+`sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware`
+
+[See also this site.](https://www.opensuse-guide.org/wlan.php)
+
+*Ubuntu:*
+
+`sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer`
+
+[See also this site.](http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/)
+
+## OpenSUSE
+
+### Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers (broadcom-wl)
+
+-   Add the packman repo: YaST -> Software repos -> Add -> Select community -> repos -> Next -> Select packman -> Finish
+-   `zypper ref`
+-   `zypper install broadcom-wl`
+
+## Graphics drivers
+
+## System hangs at boot (NVIDIA present)
+
+Boot with `nomodeset` kernel parameter, then either install proprietary NVIDIA
+drivers or disable the NVIDIA graphics entirely.
+
+## I want to disable the Nouveau driver
+
+`echo 'blacklist nouveau' | tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf`
+
+## Acer
+
+Some types of newer Acer notebooks need special settings for Secure Boot in order to boot an installed GNU/Linux system at all. If you installed eg. Ubuntu but it directly boots Windows without giving you a GRUB selection screen, try the following guide:
+https://askubuntu.com/questions/771455/dual-boot-ubuntu-with-windows-on-acer-aspire/771749#771749
+
+## System
+
+### chroot into an installed system
+
+To chroot into an installed system from a live iso, do the following:
+
+- `sudo su`
+- `mount /dev/sdaX /mnt`, where `sdaX` is your root partition
+- If you have EFI: `mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi` (assuming `sda1` is your EFI partition)
+- `mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc/`
+- `mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/sys/`
+- `mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev/`
+- `chroot /mnt /bin/bash`
+
+### Cleaning up boot entries
+
+-   `efibootmgr` prints all boot entries.
+-   `efibootmgr -o XXXX,YYYY,ZZZZ` sets the boot order.
+-   `efibootmgr -b <number> -B` deletes an EFI boot entry.
+
+### Drives are not found in the installer
+
+Especially newer laptops (2018+) have options to switch between RAID and AHCI
+boot mode.
+
+If the laptop is running in RAID mode and Linux does not recognize its drives,
+it will have to be switched to AHCI. Unfortunately, this also means Windows
+needs to be reconfigured, otherwise it won't boot anymore.
+
+1. Click the Start Button and type `cmd`
+2. Right-click the result and select *Run as administrator*
+3. Type this command and press *ENTER:* `bcdedit /set {current} safeboot minimal` (ALT: `bcdedit /set safeboot minimal`)
+4. Restart the computer and enter BIOS Setup
+5. Change the SATA Operation mode to AHCI from either IDE or RAID
+6. Save changes and exit Setup and Windows will automatically boot to Safe Mode.
+7. Right-click the Windows Start Menu once more. Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
+8. Type this command and press ENTER: `bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot` (ALT: bcdedit /deletevalue safeboot)
+9. Reboot once more and Windows will automatically start with AHCI drivers enabled.
+
+### 32-bit EFI is used
+
+- No provided install image will boot.
+- Windows is installed in 32-bit mode.
+- Some older Macbooks have this configuration.
+- To install 64-bit Linux (we never encountered an actual 32-bit CPU with this problem!),
+  manually replace the bootloader with a grub standalone.
+  [See the Arch Wiki.](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#Booting_64-bit_kernel_on_32-bit_UEFI)
+
+### I need to turn off Bitlocker
+
+**Do not change any BIOS/UEFI settings before disabling BitLocker!** You will
+have to provide the decryption key otherwise, which the user typically has no
+access to.
+
+- Launch a command prompt with administrator rights and use `manage-bde -off
+  C:`, where `C:` is the drive you want to decrypt.
+- Use the command `manage-bde -status` to query the decryption status.
+- You will need to wait until decryption is complete, which can take a long
+  time.
+
+### Unlock BitLocker Encrypted Devices
+
+If you change any UEFI settings on a BitLocker encrypted device (typically
+Surface devices), you will be prompted for the BitLocker key on next boot.
+
+Since Surface devices come encrypted out of the box, the user does typically
+not have that key and Windows will refuse to boot. If this happens, resetting
+the UEFI settings to factory settings should fix the issue.
+
+Alternatively, you can just enter the correct Bitlocker key. This works only if
+the user has a Microsoft account linked to the device. You can get the
+BitLocker key as follows:
+
+* On another device, google for "BitLocker Recovery Key". You should find
+  several Microsoft Support or FAQ pages on how to recover the key.
+* Search for a link saying "To get your recovery key, go to BitLocker Recovery
+  Keys" or similar. Go there.
+* Ask the user to sign in using their Microsoft account. The website will then
+  display their recovery key, which can be used to unlock the device.
+
+### System will not boot under any circumstance
+
+Some very bad firmwares just refuse to boot GRUB, however you configure it.
+This "bootloader hack" can be applied in these cases.
+
+- Try to boot the actual distro that has been installed by "using a device"
+  to boot. Do so by holding shift while clicking on "reboot" in Windows.
+- If that doesn't work, boot a live system and chroot into the installed
+  system.
+- Once booted or chrooted into the Linux system, become root (sudo su) and
+  go to `/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot` and locate a file named
+  `bootmgfw.efi`. Rename it to `bootmgfw-original.efi`.
+- Go to `/boot/efi/EFI/grub2` (sometimes also just `grub`) and locate the
+  file `grubx64.efi`. Copy it over to `/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/`. If a
+  file called `shimx64.efi` exists, copy that one over as well.
+- Find the file `grub.cfg` in `/boot/efi/EFI/grub2` and copy it over to
+  `/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/`.
+- Go back to `/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/`. If `shimx64.efi` exists,
+  rename it to `bootmgfw.efi`. If it does not exist, rename `grubx64.efi` to
+  `bootmgfw.efi`.
+- Now go to `/boot/grub/`, or `/boot/opensuse/` (the exact folder path may
+  vary). Find the file `grub.cfg` and open it. Find the `menuentry` block
+  for Windows (usually called "Windows Bootloader (on /dev/sdx)" or 
+  similar). Copy the entire block.
+- Uninstall the package `os-prober`.
+- Now go to /etc/grub.d. If a file with `os-prober` in its name exists,
+  delete it.
+- Find the file `40-custom.cfg`. If it doesn't exist, create it. Paste the
+  menuentry block you copied earlier in this file.
+- In the text you just pasted, look for `bootmgfw.efi` and change it to
+  `bootmgfw-original.efi`.
+- Save the file.
+- Run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`. Make sure the file path
+  matches the path where you originally found the `grub.cfg` you copied the
+  menuentry from.
+- Reboot and verify that grub now loads properly. Also test whether Windows
+  boots!
