Only beacuse there are a couple of softawares that I need that don’t run well in Bottles (Nitro Pro and an old app for anothere thing). It’s a laptop with CPU i7 and a NVIDIA graphic card 1050 ti. Which distro would be best suited for the task? Is Mint ok? Thank you.

    Take any distro you fancy, Mint is a good start. Create a bootable USB stick an try it out. This is does not modify anything on your computer, just loads linux and let’s you test it. I usually play a youtube video. This shows that wifi, video and sound work out of the box.

      Next step could be installing it in a virtual machine. Dual booting can be a pain in the ass due to Windows not playing nice.
