The month before we both installed the .NET updates and not much else.

That's my status. I am interested in RRobbins walk-through - Skybirds too, getting SH4 & SHCE running (also the forums) and learn about Linux with Win 7, however I hope that's in the distant future.
You can see . I haven't installed U-Boat Missions yet because I'll have to go through the begging Ubi for permission to use the add-on I purchased process. I should do that and then post a complete tutorial.

I can't notice any difference between how SH4 runs on Linux from Windows 7. There is no "unfortunately" to the fact that I'm running it in Linux.

Now some don't like Ubuntu. But they are mostly running derivatives of Ubuntu or Debian. Linux Mint, Peppermint Linux, Elementary OS, and a couple dozen others are completely compatible with Ubuntu. There are a bunch of people who down Ubuntu and use Mint. They ignore the fact that Mint is essentially Ubuntu with a different GUI and they can't agree on whether to use Cinnamon or MATE. And they have XFCE and KDE editions now as well. The fact is you can take any of the Ubuntu family Linux installations and install the Unity, Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon, MATE, LXDE, OpenBox or even other GUIs to be selectable at boot-up or log-on.

It as if you could actually have Windows 10, but were able to pick the Windows 3.11, Windows 98SE, Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows 8 GUI to work with any time you wanted. Linux is SO FAR ahead of Windows on implementing user choice. They know what an operating system is. Microsoft has entirely forgotten.
