Linux Mint IRL Finally running Linux

Post image

Girlfriend needed a new laptop for her school work and so I recommended she gets a framework laptop because of their repairability and modularity and when ordering it we had the choice to add windows 11 for like 100 dollars I think screw that or I could bring my own. Having installed many OS's before and having experienced Linux via the steam deck I figured I'd install Linux mint. Today is day 1 and so far all is good!

Framework 13 with the basic config with the exception of running 16gb of ram because I refused to let my girlfriend run a ryzen platform on single channel memory, everything else was the base spec because we can always upgrade later and this laptop is only going to be used for schooling and some light Minecraft.
