And thats how you make people hate linux for no reason.
On linux to run old windows executables you will need to install Wine.
There is a step by step here: http://en.war2.ru/tutorials/setting-up-linux-ubuntu-to-play-warcraft-ii-bne/ (http://en.war2.ru/tutorials/setting-up-linux-ubuntu-to-play-warcraft-ii-bne/)
Mint is derivated from ubuntu therefore you should be able to do these steps :-)
To join discord you can install discord app from here:

yeah i cant install shit on this. its fked. gonna buy a win10 usb

I think you should be able to run WC2 in a VirtualBox VM on linux mint without too much trouble.
There should be pleanty of intrustions on the mint site for installing virtualbox.. it may even be standard, I cant remember. Then you will need any old windows installation disks ( I like XP .... but whatever ) and install that on your VM. Then install WC2 as per usual.
Also, depending on the brand and model, your laptop may have a hidden rescue partition with the original install files that you can access at boot time with a key combination (like ALT-F6 or something). Check the docs etc. for your laptop model.

they got sc1 working, so id say war2 would 2 and a bunch of other directx games...take time to learn how to set it up..its probably better than windows.
reactos war2 is playable now :o
igognito i believe uses linux to play war2.(not with a vm)
