Why we're Townsville's Linux and homelab specialists
2026-07-05
Plenty of computer repair shops will quietly tell a Linux user to reinstall Windows and move on. That’s not how we work. Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, Debian and Proxmox are genuinely in daily use here, which means troubleshooting a Linux desktop or a homelab server gets treated the same way a Windows or Mac fault would: properly diagnosed, not shrugged off.
Homelabs are their own category. A lot of homelabbers reach a point where their Proxmox host, self-hosted services or storage setup outgrows a hobby project and starts needing the kind of decisions a production environment would need — backups that actually get tested, sensible network segmentation, or a second opinion before a risky change. That’s exactly the gap we sit in: practical help and training for homelabbers who want to move toward more reliable, production-grade practices without losing the parts of the hobby they enjoy.
If that’s you, this isn’t a sales pitch dressed up as a blog post — get in touch and describe what you’re running. If it’s a fit, we’ll say so.
