A home computer that minds its own business
The computer on your desk should work for you, not report on you. Windows and macOS both send a running feed of your activity back to their makers, and both increasingly push accounts, subscriptions and advertising into a machine you already paid for. Linux Mint does none of it. No sign-in demanded, no ads in the menus, no activity feed leaving your house.
This is a slim Dell desktop, small enough to sit behind a monitor or on a shelf, with Linux Mint installed and configured so it is ready to use from the first switch-on. For a home office, a family computer or a business front desk, it does everything the old machine did, without the commentary.
Three configurations: i5-14400 with 16GB and 512GB, i7-14700 with 16GB and 512GB, or Ultra 7 with 16GB and 1TB .
Familiar from the first click
Coming from Windows or a Mac, you will find your feet in minutes. A menu, a taskbar, folders and windows where you expect them. LibreOffice opens and saves Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, so documents from work and family still open normally. The hardened Brave browser handles the web including your banking, updates arrive quietly in the background, and system snapshots mean any problem can be rolled back in minutes. Plain-English guides come with it, and we are on email if you get stuck.
