Linux is the most widely used operating system among programmers because of its huge amount of tools.Their are many types of Linux versions that have specific functionalities like kali linux,ubuntu but today i am going to tell you how you can install linux mint 18.1 Serena on your personnel computer.
Step 1-Download latest version of linux mint from the given link https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
Step 2-Make a bootable pen drive using Rufus.I personally prefer rufus because it is an easy and fast tool to create bootable cd/pen drive.
It is recommended to create a bootable pen drive instead of cd as the installation process is faster in pen drive as compared to cd.
If you don't know how to create a bootable pen drive you can learn that from the given link-
