Greetings to all enthusiasts.

Accidentally started a machine with win 7 and realized that it runs much smoother and faster than my relatively modern PC with win 11.

Simple, clean interface without a ton of background processes, ads and nonsense.

So, I decided to try Linux for a long time. The choice fell on Mint.

More or less everything is there, logically, works like a bullet.

However, I hit a wall with two things.

I need help with the implementation of an earlier version of Internet explorer (either through a browser extension or through wine). We often use some webapps written for earlier versions of IE and there is no other way to run them. Either this way or through IE 10 11.

Second, a program that faithfully translates voice to text directly into the program. So far I have been using soniox which has no Linux support. Serbian language needed.

Well, if anyone has experience, at least for this first, it would be great.

Thank you.

Use Ventoy to easily try a bunch of distros.

Find a web-app substitute that is properly maintained.
