apologies if this isnt relevant, but similar idea though different supplier. got a ryzen 3400g based desktop from ccl over here in the uk. installed archlinux on it. as long as its not secure boot, linux distros will nowadays instal on most x86-64 based systems. only glitch i had was soundcard was card1 since hdmi was card0, was a bit ugg. had to ssh in and sort it. get cheap hdmi monitor and then u can ocr it if it hangs and thers no sign of life. same as u can ocr a screen capture on a vm. anybody who sells pc without os should be ok, just if its secure boot it can be difficult/impossible. ta neil foster > > >I purchased a computer from System76 and then installed Slint on my own.
