Custom Linux systems. Built to your needs. Private by default. Handed to you ready to go.
Linux is the foundation of a private, secure computing experience. I build custom Linux systems tailored to your needs — whether you’re a complete beginner wanting a clean, fast, private daily driver, or a professional needing a specific workflow. Installed, configured, and handed to you ready to go.
Windows and macOS Are Surveillance Platforms
Every time you use Windows, telemetry data is sent back to Microsoft. Every time you use macOS, Apple is cataloguing your activity. Forced updates break your workflow. Ads appear in your own operating system. You don’t own the software — you rent it, under their terms.
Linux changes everything. It’s free, open-source, and doesn’t report back to anyone. It’s what privacy-conscious professionals, developers, and security experts use. And in 2024, it’s easier and more polished than ever.
The problem? Most people don’t know where to start. That’s why I build it for you.

FAQ
Most things have excellent Linux alternatives. During the consultation, we’ll go through everything you use and find solutions. For the rare exceptions, we can set up compatibility options.
In most cases, yes. Linux runs well on almost all hardware, and often runs better on older machines than Windows does.
We can set up a dual-boot system so you keep Windows/Mac alongside Linux while you transition. No all-or-nothing pressure.
I don’t sell hardware, but I can recommend machines that work well with Linux and help you purchase. Or I’ll install on whatever you’ve already got.
