It's always worth checking if MrChromebox supports your specific Chromebook. I got Debian running on an old Chromebook a few months back for fun, but I had to compile a custom kernel to get audio working because AMD Stoney Ridge is weird.

I don't know about other games, but it wasn't too terrible playing Civ 6.

I've been enjoying my Thinkpad E16 that I got brand new from Best Buy. https://startrek.website/post/13283869

I agree. I thought everyone already knew this was what Debian release names were based on.

Have you tried CoreCtrl? That has made life on my new Thinkpad much easier.

How old of Docx files are you talking? Something like Office 2010 might run quite well, and your father would have probably had to have used some very weird features for it to be incompatible.

Have you ever tried Box86/Box64 for Wine? I was wondering what the experience is like these days.

  1. Pain, torture, and screaming as your system slowly burns.
  2. No, definitely not.

I'm just as stumped, but my best guess is there's some application(s) that expect(s) the Windows Driver store to work and return an exception if it's missing.

I'm a Virt Manager guy, personally. The only thing is 3D acceleration is usually hard if not impossible in some cases without GPU passthrough. (Unless I'm wrong. I'd like to be wrong.)

This is my favorite strat. Back in 2022, I used this to move my install from a cheap 256GB SSD I had got to try Linux to my main 1 TB NVMe (which I had recently wiped of Windows). This install is still up and running today, granted it was ext4, but really, a dd clone shouldn't prove a problem for any filesystem.
