Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon Bootable USB — Live & Install | Beamo
Description
Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop is the distribution we hand to Windows users — start menu in the corner, taskbar at the bottom, nothing to relearn. This drive boots straight into a full live session so you can test Wi-Fi, sound, and feel on your own machine, then installs Mint permanently whenever you're ready.
Every drive is flashed from the official Linux Mint 22-series image and boot-tested before it ships. It's the easiest way to give an aging Windows 10 machine a fast, secure second life — no ISO downloads, no flashing tools, no guesswork.

Frequently asked questions
Will this bootable USB work on my computer?
Yes — our bootable USB drives work on most modern PCs, laptops, and Macs (Intel & AMD, UEFI & Legacy BIOS). If you're not sure about your setup, message us before you buy and we'll confirm.
How do I boot from a USB drive?
Plug the drive in, restart your computer, and tap your boot-menu key (usually F12, F11, F9, or Esc on PCs; hold Option on a Mac). Select the USB drive from the list and you're in. The exact key varies by make — we're happy to help if you get stuck.
Will my files and settings persist between sessions?
On a standard live-boot session, changes aren't saved after you reboot — perfect for privacy and security. If you want persistence (save files across sessions), message us and we can set up a persistent partition before it ships.
Do I need to flash or install anything?
Nothing at all. Every Beamo USB drive arrives pre-loaded and tested — just plug it in and boot. No downloading images, no Etcher, no command line required.
How fast does it ship?
We ship from the US with tracking on every order — often same- or next-day in metro areas, and a couple of business days elsewhere.
