[QUOTE="user 997, post: 1120544, member: 997"] I think I was able to play Starcraft using Proton on Linux. You can check that out, it allows you to add non-steam games. [URL]https://www.protondb.com/[/URL] Office should install just fine using wine. Personally I prefer using Pop OS! over Ubuntu, but it is a bit heavier on the resources so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for your laptop, but preferred the UX and support out of the box for Nvidia drivers. I was able to play games quite niceable on that, but I have a more recent laptop. For an old laptop, I'd probably look at an older distribution of Ubuntu, or a newer Ubuntu distro not using Gnome. You can also register your old CD keys with Battle.net and use the installer downloader as an alternative to your CDs. [/QUOTE]
