If I have a computer built for me at microcenter, can you install a Linux operating system in it?

Ian

Greetings, I am sorry, that is not a service we provide.

@Ian is correct here. We do not offer this in our service department, however, depending on the flavor of Linux that you're looking to install, the process is fairly simple.

Ubuntu offers installation instructions on their website.

If Microcenter builds a custom PC can the customer get the individual component boxes or packaging? Thanks

Hello @Dbee

When you do a custom build service with us, we will provide back all the boxes and packaging.
