As the title says. I am thinking about getting either Mint Linux (Cinnamon), Fedora Linux, or Windows XP Service pack 3. Which one do I get? I like Linux and I want to play on Steam and Minecraft. (Because I R NOOB). XD
To be honest, what kind of Support do you need/want with Windows XP?why windows xp?
Windows XP no longer receives security patches, and is wide open to 0days. Recommending that anyone use it outside of a virtual machine is idiotic. This has nothing to do with being a fan of something as this doesn't pertain to a hobby. I abhor Linux for its haphazard kernel, but it's definitely a better quality of life compared to XP. OP can't run newer iterations of Windows due to hardware limitations, so it's either buy a new computer, leave themselves open to constant attack (it's quite easy to scan the internet for XP machines with nmap), or learn basic Linux.To be honest, what kind of Support do you need/want with Windows XP?
If you are not a Linux fan, goes with windows, easy as that, Linux Mint its pretty, but always had trouble with the low speed on the wifi drivers.
I have an 8GB USB as my Harddrive...Why not all 3?
My friend suggests XP over Linux for some reason. IDK I don't want to use XPTo be honest, what kind of Support do you need/want with Windows XP?

It is decided. I will use Linux Mint. Now... I have a problem that bothers me...Linux Mint
It did it on normal Ubuntu as well. So, maybe I need official drivers. How do I install those?Probably because it's using an incompatible driver, after installing, you may need to install official drivers.
Or maybe the download is corrupt.

You don't know what GPU you have? It's quite possible that you just have on board Intel graphics, and if that's the case, there is no official driver. You'll just have to tweak Ubuntu's font renderer, or use something besides Ubuntu (Mint is Ubuntu). I recommend BunsenLabs, but that's just me.How do I check?
There's a window that pops up first boot after installing with a link to the driver manager.It did it on normal Ubuntu as well. So, maybe I need official drivers. How do I install those?
Not necessary to know, the driver manager auto detectsYou don't know what GPU you have?
