Going to reformat my machine that has Cinnamon Mint on it - just curious, is anyone here running a Linux desktop that:

1) Can play games on Steam


If you can get the NVidia drivers working, it should be no problem.

2) Can run Chrome and Firefox


Any Linux can do that.

3) Can keep connected to WiFi constantly. I need for it to NEVER disconnect, or at least reconnect if it disconnects.


It's really all down to the hardware. If what's in the box is giving you a problem, then just buy a USB adaptor (or PCMCIA, if they still have that?)
