And the .odt files I tried sending aren’t able to be opened on the other end. Kind of important when communicating with organisations.
I think what I’m going to do is break it down in steps.
I have to grab back all my pictures and files from the cloud to local storage before a deadline, I’ve got them off One Drive into a differently named folder so it can’t yoink it back but this computer is getting really full.
So I’ll back up my old desktop.
Install whatever Linux that has a legit iso.
Then get everything onto there.
Then I can try to use Wine or whatever to see if I can get Minecraft and online games working.

I strongly recommend Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition, I’ve been exclusively using Linux distros for years, Mint is the only one that for me just works how I want out of the box and stays working.

I was trying to sha the Cinnamon iso and none of the numbers matched for any of them despite trying different mirrors.
I might have to give up and try a different one
