# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
## General
* [Where does the name TERES come from?](intro_name-origin.md)
* [What makes this laptop so different?](intro_what-is-unique.md)
* [Why does open-source matter so much?](intro_importance-of-open-source.md)
* [Where are the open-source materials?](intro_sources.md)
* [How may I contribute to this project?](../../CONTRIBUTING.md)
* I have a question or feedback that does not constitute opening up a ticket. Where do I go?
* Check out the [user forum](https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?board=39.0)!
## Hardware
* Where are the design files for a 3D-printed laptop enclosure?
* None are currently available from the immediate developers, as they are less savvy with 3D-modeling. The boards were initially designed to fit an affordable plastic laptop enclosure for the time being.
* Are there alternative keyboard options available?
* None are currently available. Please test compatibility, design a 3-D printed keyboard bezel, and it may get implemented!
## Software
* Does the TERES-I have an upstream mainline kernel?
* The sunxi comunity is working on A64 mainline support. The results are documented [here](https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort), [here](https://linux-sunxi.org/A64), and [here](https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/30/288).
* How do I install operating system _____?
* Please reference the [software documentation](../../SOFTWARE/README.md) section for details. If your desired operating system is not listed, it is most likely not yet supported. We'd love your help getting it to run on the TERES-I!
