And somehow every single time the problem was so easy to solve, but apparently crying about it is the better solution.
Funny, this sounds an awful lot like people who complain about the fediverse

Why switch to second person in the last panel?
Because I wrote this while in class.
I gave up on switching to linux after losing 2 entire evenings setting it up (linux mint) just for my games not to run and not a single solution I could find working.
I'll give it another try once I buy my new PC and set that up, but Linux is not as plug and play as windows and I totally understand that non-IT people want to stay away from it now. The community makes it sound as if everything is almost out of the box simple but that is not the case at all.
Don't give up before you have tried using memes to get support!
The only way to actually get support with linux issues huh π
Your plan sounds good, then you can take your time working on the old PC and re-install as needed, especially because the newer windows versions are happy to kill a dual booted Linux.

OkΓ© lets see how good crowd trouble shooting is...
Nobara on Fedora can not have the exact same mouse being plugged in multible times. They seem to merge into one and all but one will be ignored (at random).
Okey, without joking*. I have seen quite some people who are unable to Google anything. But I guess that's why LMGTFY was made.
[*] this is actually a bug, not a joke. If you happen to know the answer. Please share it, it's driving me nuts
Follow up question - why do you have multiple mice plugged into your computer?
Trackball mouse for work, regular mouse for gaming. This is peak and you cannot convince me otherwise.

i tried linux once but there was one command that made me not want to use it anymore
What command?

Luckily this is being addressed, and it's being renamed to "Copy Something And More" (CSAM for short)
