Been using mint for the last few months after messing with raspian on some pis for a few months before that and the only time i had to log i to windows (dual boot) since getting mint was to play the original dungeon keeper in a network game with my son because for some reason the lutris wine/dosbox install wouldnt start a multiplayer match with the windows installed veraion on my sons laptop. Otherwise i have got everything i wanted working on there and its a much more pleasant experience. It feela like my computer again. Something i havent said since the end of windows XP.
