Video Description

In this video, I’m building a powerful small form factor gaming PC specifically designed to run Linux Mint in the stunning Fractal Terra Jade Green case. Watch as I take you through the entire build process, from component selection and UEFI settings to installing Linux Mint Cinnamon and testing the gaming performance. Whether you're a seasoned Linux user or making the switch from Windows, this video covers everything you need to know to get started. Plus, stay tuned for a special giveaway featuring the Fractal Terra case and Mint-themed accessories! #LinuxMint #GamingPC #giveaway #SFFPC #LinuxGaming #pcbuild Products highlighted (Affiliate Links): Ryzen 5 7600 - https://amzn.to/3ADzM1m MSI MPG B650I Edge Wifi - https://amzn.to/3ySbNLe Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 - https://amzn.to/4eQXhmQ Crucial P3 Plus 2TB - https://amzn.to/3YWQNxu Noctua NH-L9x65 SE-AM4 - https://amzn.to/4724VHP Asrock Challenger RX 7700 XT - https://amzn.to/46YHbUS CORSAIR SF750 - https://amzn.to/4dCpnBt Optional: ARCTIC P12 Slim - https://amzn.to/3X2Mle2 120mm Fan Grill - https://amzn.to/3WY2m54 Thermalright AM5 CPU Holder - https://amzn.to/3SYyKTZ Keyboard - https://amzn.to/4dAl35L Mouse - https://amzn.to/4dAI48V Keycap Set - https://amzn.to/4fYaBGY Deskpad - https://amzn.to/4feVpEi Timecodes: 00:00 - Opener 00:21 - Intro & Agenda 01:38 - Component Selection 07:15 - The Build, Step-By_Step. 13:53 - UEFI Configuration 16:05 - Linux Mint Installation 18:56 - Setting Up to Game. 20:14 - Linux for Gaming? 21:48 - Conclusion Find me on Social Media Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/elevatedsystems Twitter: https://twitter.com/elevatedsystem1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elevatedsys/​ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@cj.elevated My Studio Equipment (Paid Links) Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K Pro - https://amzn.to/3tA6ScP Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 - https://amzn.to/2VjqKSR Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ300 - https://amzn.to/2WJnxw6 Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art DC HSM Lens - https://amzn.to/3quDgM0 Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens -https://amzn.to/3uv13Of Panasonic LUMIX G Lens, 25mm, F1.7 - https://amzn.to/3A9f9Vi Magnus REX VT-5000 2-Stage Tripod - https://amzn.to/3GxsGJH Neewer 72.4-Inch Camera Tripod - https://amzn.to/3fsRuqU SMALLRIG Parabolic Softbox - https://amzn.to/3Hyvbxt SmallRig RC 120D COB Light - https://amzn.to/3S9Grp4 Kshioe Softbox Lighting Kit - https://amzn.to/3A5vZEq Neewer Camera Slider Motorized - https://amzn.to/3ltX54e Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Mic - https://amzn.to/3fziRPv SAMSON Q2U Dynamic Microphone - https://amzn.to/3ikExBe Sennheiser XS Wireless Lavalier System - https://amzn.to/3ilSIpA PreSonus Eris E3.5 Studio Monitor - https://amzn.to/3CcVx4d Behringer U-Phoria UM2 USB DAC - https://amzn.to/3ZmyOOO Gator Frameworks Deluxe Boom Stand - https://amzn.to/3fs7Os3 Glide Gear TMP100 Teleprompter - https://amzn.to/3CdgIDy GLEAM Microphone Stand - https://amzn.to/3A4dth5 Davinci Resolve 17 & Speed Editor - https://amzn.to/3fsECRG AVerMedia Live Gamer ULTRA - https://amzn.to/3CCH5nV Apple 2022 Mac Studio - https://amzn.to/3GXW6mS LG 40WP95C-W 40” 5K2K Display - https://amzn.to/3ZtiiN6 INNOCN 15.6" OLED Portable Monitor. - https://amzn.to/3jEOqgu BenQ ScreenBar Halo - https://amzn.to/3XpUZ52 Audio file(s) provided by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com
