Lenovo M93P Tiny Budget PC Linux Mint Install - Ditch Windows 10!

   / @techanobi  

Is your PC not compatible with Windows 11? Tired of Windows 10? Congratulations, you are in the right place! In this video, we take the Lenovo M93P Tiny — a compact and affordable budget PC not compatible with Windows 11 — and give it a new life by installing Linux Mint. Say goodbye to sluggish Windows 10 performance and enjoy a faster, cleaner, and more privacy-friendly operating system.

Windows 10's end of life (EOL) is on October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide free security updates, technical assistance, or feature updates for Windows 10. This means that devices still running Windows 10 will become increasingly vulnerable to security threats. Linux Mint benefits from the robust security model of the Linux kernel and has built-in security features like a firewall, package management, and various security modules like SELinux and AppArmor. However, no system is completely immune to threats, and user practices play a crucial role in maintaining security!

We’ll walk through:
• Downloading and creating a Linux Mint bootable USB
• Installing Linux Mint step-by-step on the Lenovo M93 Tiny
• First boot experience and system tweaks

Whether you’re refurbishing an old PC, switching to Linux for the first time, or looking for a lightweight OS alternative, this guide will help you make the transition smoothly.
