The latest crop of Linux PCs come with AMD’s Ryzen 7 7000 and Intel’s Core i7-13th Gen processors. These processors offer great performance for Linux users, as well as Windows users who want to use these machines in dual-boot mode. Linux has been gaining in popularity over the past few years, thanks to its open source nature and the wide range of software that is available for it. This makes it a great choice for people who want to customize their computer without having to worry about restrictions imposed by Microsoft or Apple. If you’re looking for a new Linux PC, be sure to check out the options available at your local computer store. You’ll be able to find a machine that is perfect for your needs, whether you’re looking for a powerful workstation or a versatile home computer. ..
System76 sells three desktop computers: the cheapest Thelio workstation (starts at $949), the more powerful Thelio Mira (starts at $999), and the high-end Thelio Major (starts at $3,499). Starting today, you can now configure the Thelio and Thelio Mira with 13th Gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen 7000 processors. Specifically, you can choose the Core i5-13600K at 5.1 GHz or the Core i7-13700K at 5.4 GHz on both computers, while the Mira is available with Ryzen 7 7600X, Ryzen 7 7900X, or Ryzen 7 7950X. The Thelio Major uses AMD Threadripper CPUs, just like before.
Pricing is still higher than what you might pay for a pre-built PC from a major PC manufacturer, but the Thelio has a unique customizable design, and it’s designed to run desktop Linux. Thelio computers ship with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS pre-installed, and System76 offers full Linux support, which is still shockingly rare with most PC manufacturers. Usually, if you buy a Windows PC and install Linux, you’re on your own if you run into technical problems.
At the same time, System76 is running a “Build Your Beast” sale for Halloween, which is reducing the prices for desktops across the board. Depending the configuration you go with, you could save up to $2,200 compared to typical prices, with the most savings coming from the highest-end builds. Besides the new CPUs, you can also pick builds with up to 88TB of storage, up to 256GB RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce GPUs.
