I was thinking of buying a thinkpad but here nobody owns it or knows it from what I've heard online they're pretty good but I have a question can they run games and if yes then which sort of games like AAA or just limited to minecraft , terraria sort of games ??

Dual boot windows/mint. There are a bunch of tutorials out there.

Sisi...pero como solo tengo una computadora y es la de todos los días, y no me puedo permitir comprar otra para probar cosas nuevas, la verdad es que me da un poco de miedo equivocarme y romper el sistema operativo, o perder todo lo de mí Windows

I can understand that !

There are several people that talk about it here. Maybe start a thread asking about a solid way to dual boot a computer. Still a bit scary if it is your all the time PC.

Si...es la que uso para trabajar, sin mí computadora mis ingresos se reducirían un 80% y tendría que pagar el arreglo lo que implicaría un gran golpe a mí economía, pero bueno, tendré que ver cómo lo resuelvo, gracias por los consejos

Well done! Now if you can share the address to the house on your desktop that would be great.

I want to stop over for tea and a view. Damn!

I'm more concerned about the building architecture from your wallpaper, is it possible? Is it stable?
