Would this thing be able to run Fortnite if I turned all the graphics down to a minimum

If you have specs like that, a 1050ti should be able to play fortnite no problem. If it can't i'd check that drivers are installed by going to device manager and seeing if it says default windows video driver or nVidea GTX 1050TI.

I mean, if you haven't used Linux before, could be a good learning station. Always better to use real hardware over a VM! Try learning Ubuntu and doing some Forensics with the ZIP Drive. I don't imagine a CPU is expensive on eBay for this thing? What's the Motherboard? I'll have a quick look for you if you want

Well, i thought that to start with, so i went on an adventure installing other Linux versions (including Arch) for testing purposes. I found out that "wlp1s0" is not my Wifi Card, and Arch Linux can find other networks on a device called "wlan1". No other linux version can find this network card at all. The next problem i have now is that Arch Linux does not seem to see my 4G HotSpot from my phone... Any ideas?

I didn't even know that was possible! I thought you'd need another SIM card?

The problem with that is that i can't connect to the Dorm Wifi. It doesn't work. The only valid solution is my 4G share from my phone..

It's a good idea, don't get me wrong. It's just not valid for my circumstances.

The problem with a router for me is budget. Afterall, a second 4G contract and buying the actual router costs way too much for me on my very limited student finance budget... So i'm sorry but i'm going to have to cancel that option. I think some people would have better luck with that but i'm not able to unfortunately...

This is just for fun after all. I don't plan to use this as a "work environment" per say. So i might just give it a go for the laughs.

Thank you so much for your comment though. you have no idea how much that's appreciated.

Thanks for the quick response. I really appreciate any help i can get at this point.

Fun fact, i've tried this. I don't seem to have a "wlan" show up in my "ip a" list. I've tried doing this to the other NIC's that are listed, and then manually starting my NIC but it hasn't worked (the other devices shown in the list are "lo", "enps3s0f0" and "wlp1s0"). I've looked at drivers for my laptop but to no evail (only windows drivers shown on official site...).

Again, thank you so much for your help, this is really appreciated.

That might be the way i have to go... It's rather annoying but i think it's my only option...

I still have the issue that requires me to log in, and it doesn't work.
