LinuxWood is a project that transforms an old laptop into a modern, flexible Linux workstation.
It combines hardware recycling, CAD design, and digital fabrication to give new life to unused tech..

LinuxWood is a custom-built workstation made from reused laptop parts — the screen, motherboard, and internal components — integrated into a slim, laser-cut wooden body.
It runs Xubuntu Linux, a lightweight OS perfect for old hardware, giving it a fast, clean, and modern experience.

Old laptops often end up unused or thrown away, even though their components still work perfectly.
LinuxWood was created to::

• Recycle and upcycle old electronics into something useful and aesthetic
• Learn and experiment with CAD, fabrication, and Linux systems
• Build a custom workstation that can act as a main computer or a portable second screen

You can build your own version of LinuxWood using the provided files and your old laptop.

• 5mm MDF or plywood sheet
• Old laptop (with working screen and motherboard)
• Screws, glue, and small brackets if needed
• Wireless keyboard and mouse

• Laser cutter (or CNC/3D printer)
• Basic tools for assembly (screwdriver, soldering iron, etc.)

1. Download the DXF files from this repository.
2. Laser cut or 3D print the 5mm parts.
3. Assemble the pieces according to the model.
4. Install your laptop screen and motherboard inside the new body.
5. Install Xubuntu or any Linux distro you prefer.
6. Connect a wireless keyboard and mouse — and enjoy your modern workstation!

The project uses Xubuntu Linux, installed using BalenaEtcher to flash the ISO to a USB drive.
You can also customize the theme and backgrounds to make your system look more modern..
