I decided to not use a VPN, because I live in Greece and read online that, although piracy is illegal, no action is being taken for pirates.

Exactly the same thing had happened to me. I have used Debian for about a month now and I don't think I will change it.

I had checked and saw that FIFA 17 ran on Linux, so I told him that, and was not prepared for the troubleshooting nightmare that followed.

It has an NVMe drive and after my friend upgraded it, 16 GB of RAM. Yes, it has an integrated Intel GPU, but I think it is pretty decent.

Minecraft ran pretty well, the installation procedure was just difficult, because we were using this (which was a mistake).

This worked well before Roblox blocked the use of Wine. Sadly, we tried it and it didn't work.

My friend doesn't blame me. He blames Linux, which also isn't nice. Of course, it isn't Linux's fault that the Roblox developers patched their game so it cannot be ran with wine, but in his eyes, and the eyes of the non tech-savvy people, if it runs on Windows and not on Linux, Linux is doing something wrong.

I am trying to make him learn something by explaining what the commands do. For example, I say to them "run cd Documents which changes your current directory to Documents.". But I agree with you, I will tell him a little more about dual boot, and if he doesn't want to dual boot, I will help them install Windows.

The problem is not that games don't run smoothly. The problem is that games don't run at all or require major effort to run without issues. Will installing that distro fix the complicated installation of Prism Launcher cracked? I don't think so. But I agree with you for the fact that I chose the wrong distro. I wanted something easy for beginners.

Can you tell me the specs?

I found an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF at 100€ here. It has an Intel core i5 4th Gen and 8GB of RAM. Not exactly mini but cheap. Do you think it's worth it?

EDIT: nvm I found this used Intel nuc here with the same specs.
