Title basically.

One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can't upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it's an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).

Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn't been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced...

I used it some years ago. It "just worked," but later when I tried to install it again, it didn't. I probably could've made it work again, but I didn't actually need it badly enough to bother.

So yes and kinda no
