It’s time to finally build the ticket to my well-deserved freedom from Windows! Join me as I desperately try to make this new Linux PC work, and who knows, it might even end up amazing!

Thank you! I ended up adding more fans after the build was done, so I think I fixed whatever issues I was having. I'll definitely try those two programs tho, as Wine still refuses to work...

Awesome! I haven't had a need for it, but Winboat supposedly uses actual Windows code and not just translation layers; since it's new, it's not yet suitable for gaming, but it's supposed to be a good option for problematic Windows software.

Another thing you might look into is Cooler Control for managing your fans. Heat seems like it's a bit more challenging to manage on SFF builds, so it's handy to be able to control how and when fans are active.

I'll definitely give Winboat a try, since I need to get MP3tag and Clip Studio Paint working at some point. I'll also install Cooler Control, just in case. Thank you so much for the help!
