New Linux Desktop PC – Performance, Ready to Use Out of the Box
This New Linux Desktop PC is a step up in speed and flexibility: a brand-new, airflow-focused desktop that we assemble, test and set up with the Linux distribution you choose, so you can plug it in and go. No hunting for drivers, no install media, no guesswork.
Why choose a New Linux Desktop PC from ArkPC?
- Linux installed and tested in Australia. Every system is built in-house, checked component by component and set up by us before it ships.
- Clean and private. No bloatware, no advertising software and no tracking. You get a fresh system and full control of what runs on it.
- Safe by design. Updates come straight from your distribution’s own software repositories, and the software you install is open source and open to inspection.
- Hardware chosen for Linux. Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, graphics and audio are recognised by the Linux kernel, so everything works from first boot.
- Local support. Real people in Australia, not an overseas call centre.
What is this New Linux Desktop PC good for?
The Performance model is built for people who use their computer hard: dozens of browser tabs, software development, virtual machines and containers, photo editing, video editing, 3D design and light gaming. A 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 with 16GB of fast DDR5 RAM and a fast 256GB NVMe SSD keeps everything responsive. Need more memory or storage? Choose a RAM upgrade, a larger NVMe drive or an additional hard drive in the options above.
Add a graphics card
Integrated graphics handle everyday work and two displays. For gaming, 3D, AI tools or heavy video work, add a dedicated NVIDIA graphics card from the options above. NVIDIA cards have excellent Linux driver support, and we choose models that fit this case and the included 650W Gold power supply.
Choose your Linux
Pick the distribution you want for your New Linux Desktop PC from the options above, such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian and more. New to Linux? Ubuntu and Linux Mint are friendly places to start. A dual-boot option is available if you need a second operating system alongside Linux.
Airflow-focused design
A mesh front, ventilated top and tempered glass side panel give this New Linux Desktop PC excellent airflow and a clean, understated look. The case has room for extra drives and fans, the 650W 80 PLUS Gold power supply leaves headroom for a graphics card, and the AM5 platform leaves room to upgrade the processor later. Rear connections include HDMI and DisplayPort video, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.2 Type-A, USB-C and USB 2.0 ports and audio jacks, with USB 3.2 Type-A and USB-C on the front.
