Tried mint ages ago following a guide. I failed at sudo apt-get update. Like, the command didn't work. How the FUCK. Ended up somehow getting wine to try to install stuff. Don't think I ever figured out tarballs. Just endless psychic damage trying to do stuff that isn't a problem in windows.

How long ago is ages? I installed it almost a year ago and had no noteable issues that I can remember.

Uhh, 15 years maybe? I use my pc mostly for gaming so I won't be trying Linux again any time soon. Too many horror stories.

You can play games on Linux now. One experience of one Linux variant from a decade and a half go really doesn't mean much.

Also a tarball is just another type of archive like a zip file, you can use a GUI to extract it. You don't have to use the tar command if you don't want to.
