In the mid to late 90s and the early 2000s. PC gaming magazines and PlayStation magazines used to give away demo discs for you to trial new games.

Even they aren't as bad as the sites that ask for feedback as soon as they open >.<
I'll second this, especially if you don't mind 'cheating'.
I've got a Java world set up with cheats turned on, so that if I need to stop, I can make a note of my current location and teleport back to my base. When I next play, I just teleport back.
The downside is the temptation to just teleport everywhere instead of managing your resources, or to use the other cheats.
That's a good point. It's been so long since I had to buy a new copy that I can't remember what version I have.
Depending on your location and internet speed, you might be better off dabbling.
Some places let you own a backup copy legally, and if you've got decent internet, it might even be faster than ripping and converting it yourself.
Ass is very rarely used to mean the body part in the UK
I like them for the opposite reason. I'm still quite new to Linux, so I'm figuring out which software is best for me. I set up my server with Xubuntu and installed everything through Apt. I uninstalled a lot of software, but inevitably missed some things like libraries and config files.
Using Flatpak seems to keep track of everything, so uninstalling gets rid of everything that I would otherwise miss.
If it's doing what it says on the tin, Flatpak is making my life much easier :)
My wife and I have identical 7th gen i5 laptops, except hers has Windows while mine has Mint. I regularly use mine in front of the TV, and recently she tried to do the same. We had to turn the TV volume up and it took a minute to figure out why. The fans on her laptop were running flat out to keep it cool because Windows had so much going on in the background that the CPU was at 100%.
She was ready to scrap the laptop because it was so slow, thinking that it was normal.
"A big downside here is that as far as Windows is concerned, this is different "hardware" so it won't activate based on your physical device."
You can transfer a Windows licence from another installation, so in OP's situation, from the original installation. During Windows setup, select the 'I don't have a license key' option, then once Windows is installed, go into settings, click the Windows isn't activated option, and go through the activation troubleshooter.
I can't remember exactly where, but somewhere in there is the option to transfer the license from another installation. It has to be the same version of Windows.
You've been given a lot of good advice, especially about Nvidia cards, but watch out for wifi adaptors too. As far as I know there are no problems with fairly recent hardware, but I've been caught out when trying Mint on an old laptop.
The cube? Not wobbly windows, or the fire screensaver? I guess it takes all sorts... ;)
Just disconnect the internet connection before you start setup ๐
