Recently I purchased a CyberPower PC (Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 4060 8GB) to play games, and run AI work loads (images, LLMs).
Unfortunately there was alot of Windows bloatware on it which made me feel sad, so I decided to install Linux Mint Cinnamon1 on it.
The install algorithm was something like this:
- Download Mint .iso
- Flash2 image to drive
- Reboot PC and press alot of F keys (as the B550m only shows the load screen for a second)
- Boot from Mint
- Wipe Windows out
- ???
- Profit
It’s nice to see the source code3 of the software. I was surprised to see that 41% was written in JavaScript. For example here’s the code for the clock applet.
I might add Windows as an option later for gaming but only if I need it. It would be cool if the world used more open source software instead of being forced by e.g .Windows / Apple / Google or whomever to run software or pay for things they didn’t ask for.
