How to easily switch your PC from Windows to Linux Mint - for free


I've used many Linux distros over the years, and this is the one I recommend the most. Here's why and how to try it.

Cinnamon 6.4, the newest version of the desktop, has a refined visual interface with a modern aesthetic, such as rounded corners, darker tones, smooth transitions, and clean themes. I've installed Linux hundreds of times, and it usually takes me about an hour to start my download, the blessings of a multi-gigabit fiber internet connection, to booting up and customizing my new Mint PC. You can, of course, also run many great Linux desktop programs, such as GIMP for photo editing, LibreOffice for office work, and Chrome or Firefox for web browsing.
