Minisforum UM700 Mint Installation Report

Post by BwingBob »

I have been looking to upgrade to my 7 year old i5 Intel NUC and have had my eye on the UM-700 for a while since it is offered with Manjaro Linux pre-installed and won't break the bank.

Yesterday I caught a flash sale on Amazon and was able to purchase one for $375 us. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QZ ... =UTF8&th=1.

The Manjaro version was not available on Amazon so my machine arrived with Windows 11 installed.

I installed a SSD that I already owned then installed Linux Mint 20.3 (Edge) to the new SSD and I am happy to report every thing is working perfectly. After the installation I changed the SSD to be the first boot device in BIOS the did a

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub 
to add the pre-installed Windows installation on the nvme drive to grub.
