Choose Your Operating System
ChromeOS Flex or Bazzite Linux
Your refurbished desktop can be set up with one of two operating systems depending on how you plan to use the computer.
ChromeOS Flex – Simple and Easy
ChromeOS Flex is designed to be simple, fast, and secure. It turns your computer into a Chromebook-style device where most things happen through the web browser.
Very easy to use: If you can use the internet, you can use ChromeOS. The layout is simple and uncluttered.
Safe by design: ChromeOS includes strong built-in security and automatic updates that help protect against viruses and malware.
Fast and responsive: ChromeOS is lightweight, so refurbished computers often feel quick and responsive again.
Perfect for everyday use: Email, web browsing, YouTube, Google Docs, online learning, and video calls all work smoothly.
Bazzite – Powerful Linux for Media and Gaming
Bazzite is a modern Linux operating system designed to be powerful, flexible, and easy to maintain. It is based on Fedora Linux and is built to support gaming, media, and general desktop use.
Great for gaming and media: Bazzite includes built-in support for Steam and other gaming platforms, making it a popular Linux system for games and entertainment.
No license fees: Like most Linux systems, Bazzite is completely free and open source.
More control and flexibility: It works more like a traditional computer system where you can install many different applications and tools.
Stable and secure: Updates are designed to keep the system reliable while protecting your data.
Graphics capability: These computers use integrated graphics built into the processor. They are excellent for everyday tasks, video playback, and 2D games. They can also run lighter 3D games, but they are not designed for modern high-end or graphics-intensive games.
Important hardware note: These refurbished desktops use mid-tower cases. They can support many standard components, but they cannot fit full-height graphics cards. If you plan to upgrade graphics in the future, only smaller or low-profile cards may be suitable.
