Linux Laptops
Computing without compromise. Pre-configured with Linux and privacy-respecting software—ready to use out of the box. No Big Tech. No telemetry. No surveillance operating system watching everything you do.
THE PROBLEM WITH MAINSTREAM
Your Operating System Is Watching You.
Windows 11 requires a Microsoft account. It sends telemetry constantly. It shows you ads in your own Start menu. MacOS is cleaner—but you’re still locked into Apple’s ecosystem, their App Store, their rules, their data collection.
These aren’t tools. They’re platforms designed to extract value from you.
Linux changes the equation. You own your system. You control what runs. You decide what data leaves your machine. And with the right configuration, you get a fast, stable, private computer that does exactly what you need—nothing more, nothing less.

PRO PERFORMANCE
Lenovo Thinkpad T16
w/ ZorinOS 18.1
The T16 is the one you buy when the work is the point. A full sixteen-inch screen keeps more windows open at once, so you scroll less and see more. The larger chassis runs a stronger processor with room to breathe, which means heavy spreadsheets, a wall of browser tabs, and a virtual machine or two stay smooth. If your laptop is where the day happens, this is the size that keeps up.

QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What Linux distribution do you install?
We install ZorinOS, which is a privacy-respecting Linux distribution. It’s easy to use while still providing all the features you need.
Can I dual-boot with Windows?
We recommend going full Linux for maximum privacy. Dual boot is also more complicated to configure, and typically Windows must be installed first.
What's included in the privacy software suite?
A curated set of applications covering web browsing, email, messaging, password management, file encryption, and system security. All open-source, all vetted.
Do these devices receive updates?
Yes. ZorinOS and the applications it includes provide regular security updates.
What if something goes wrong?
Reach out to us. We provide direct support for hardware and software issues.
Can I return a device?
Yes. 30-day return policy. If the hardware isn’t right for you, send it back in original condition for a full refund.
