I recently installed Linux Mint on my old computer, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting things to work. My graphics card is really outdated, so the Nouveau driver is currently in use, and I can't install the video driver. More importantly, Wine doesn't seem to open any .exe files from Microsoft, which is making it impossible for me to create a bootable USB drive. I tried using Ventoy, but when I run it from the terminal, I get errors, and even when I try to refresh the drive, it doesn't show anything inside. I'm downloading a Windows 10 ISO to see if that works, but I'm not very hopeful since I don't have access to another computer. Is there anyone who can help me troubleshoot this? My setup includes a GT730 4GB graphics card, an Intel i5 2400 processor, and 16GB of RAM. I'm really frustrated as I just want to play Albion, but I feel stuck with this Linux system that won't cooperate.

I did a quick search on how to fix a broken Mint install. You can try running these commands in the terminal:
* `sudo apt update`
* `sudo apt --fix-broken install`
These should help with any package dependency issues you're facing. If this doesn't solve it, you might need to reinstall Wine, either the stable or staging version.
Are you looking for help getting your drivers to work on Mint, or have you decided to switch back to Windows altogether? If it’s the latter, I recommend checking out WoeUSB-ng to create your bootable USB drive!
Yeah, I think I'm leaning towards going back to Windows since my drive just isn't functioning well in Mint. I'll definitely check out WoeUSB. Thanks for your help!
