Had to reformat and reinstall everything.

[Ravenshire]

A Three year old release of an enterprise OS? Yeah, there's going to be issues with Wine because an enterprise OS has little use for Windoze compatibility. Did you ever try an actual desktop distro? Or, did you just give it up as "too hard" when the wrong type of software didn't do what you wanted it to?

If you're really fixated on Red Hat, Fedora (you know, the desktop version) may work for you. Really, any desktop version of any Debian based OS (or desktop versions of any Arch based distros) would probably work for you, if you're willing to put in a bit of work for the rewards Linux can grant. But, I'm guessing that "bit of work" will rule you out. You seem to be allergic to it.

Seriously though, it really exposes your deep ignorance when you keep insisting something doesn't work to someone who has it properly working.

I tried installing Ubuntu on my laptop (Acer Nitro 5), but it Kernel Panicked when I told it to format my hard-drive. Oracle Linux worked, it only logged a bunch of ACPI errors.

So, you quit at the first hurdle?

Fucking sad...
