Linux update: installed mint on old desktop. works fine. pleasantly surprised that it responds to windows key shortcuts but disappointed at lack of scroll wheel press to rapid scroll. sims 2 did not work via either wine directly or lutris, which is what I expected. will try Photoshop / office / flash player in wine tomorrow. seriously considering dual booting future frivolity laptop between mint and win7 for games

the vision is that after I move, I get a new, less sexy windows box for work stuff requiring win11 and a smaller laptop and use my current, a model year 2021 gaming laptop I got for when I entered university, on Linux mint for my personal stuff. best option methinks since I need windows and a new laptop for work but don't want 11 near my personal files, and have wanted to try Linux for a while
I am not by any means a gamer. I got the gaming laptop because it was the best option for futureproof specs for all 4 years of uni and USB ports.
the old desktop, if you're curious, was a Dell Optiplex 780, originally Windows 7. was my main computer from 2016 until 2021 when I needed a laptop for uni. was rescued from my dad's old office when they upgraded and were gonna throw out a bunch of them
