I just installed Linux Mint on my dad’s old laptop. He asked me to do it!

I checked and it could run Windows 11 with a RAM upgrade. But he wasn’t interested in that.

He was surprised at all of the software installed by default. And mostly just uses the browser to read his Outlook mail…

Same dude!

I got games to run too, using Lutris. I can give you a few tips if you want. I put it on a thinkpad T470p.

I can probably run pretty much anything using Lutris. It can read any iso file and presumably even .exe files though I haven’t tried it with exe’s.

Still, most of what we need is available just in a browser or from open source, like Libreoffice.

  Thanks for the offer! But I’ve been running Linux only since 2002 or so, currently with Arch on my laptop, because I’m not yet brave enough to try Nyx. 😄
