Ah. Thank you!! I was planning to disconnect the computer from wifi next month until I got around to setting up Linux. Nice to know there is more time.

I used Mint like 15 years ago trying to set up retropie on a cheap netbook. It felt really smooth, but I couldn't get something to work and just never had time to research a resolution.

I'm sure it's more user friendly now or at least the tools are more successful on first install. Going to find out sooner or later. I really just use that old PC to store pictures and play retro games, so it shouldn't be hard to convert with a little time for research.

If you're coming from Windows I recommend Fedora KDE Spin. If has a similar look and feel and is very up to date while remaining stable.
