Indeed, though it did take a few upgrades before it ran smooth enough for my tastes. Ironically I’m using mint over a more lightweight distro because it’s the only one that ran correctly. All the lightweight ones I tried refused to recognize the GPU I shoved in it (which is reasonable, it’s a very bizarre PCI version that wouldn’t even run on XP without hacking the driver.)
It even runs a few old games via Lutris. Got Starseige: Tribes running on it smoothly. My goal is to use an XP partition on it to run most offline games, and use the linux partition to play any online games since it’s more secure than XP.
