Well, as I said in the "What's Up at Home Today" forum, I have decided to phase out Windows and switch to a Linux distribution. It has already been done since yesterday for my main computer, and that was my first goal. At the moment, and next to this computer, I still keep Windows 7 on a pair of old enough computers that are linked and that i use for running old games, including H&D2, on a PvP configuration. I also run Windows 7 on another reserve computer that i keep, also old but enough to browse the net and also can be used for storage. That is for now.
The Linux distribution that i choose is Linux Mint 20 Ulyana, Cinnamon edition. I'll see later, with some more experience, if i stay with it or if i try anotther one, as Arch. Of course, i make it step by step because Linux is new enough for me, but it seems to work pretty well and also pretty fast. One of my next steps will be to try to install and run a full H&D2 setup on this Linux, that's why i post here. I've read some about Wine, used for running Windows apps on Linux, i'm going to try it and see what it gives. I'll report here about the evolution.
