CPU sounds OK but memory seems tight and GPU surely (?) won't cope.
https://amp.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/8e9ec5/x200_external_gpu/ is a thread on an external GPU, but I'd imagine you'd get more value with a newer base machine.

Linux install: Steam or https://zero-k.info/Wiki/DownloadLinux

@Kurosei you can download the itch.io 'semi-portable' here:

https://zerok.itch.io/zero-k

and then you need to unzip and run the shell script. You may need to adjust a few things to get it to work. I would suggest Ubuntu (if you want an easier life) or ArchLinux (if you are willing to learn as you go it is more powerful and you never have to go through lengthy updates or reinstall as it uses a rolling release model).

That said, can I encourage you to just use Windows 10? I have wasted countless hours of my life messing around with commands on Linux either just to get something to work or to get it to work nearly as well as in Windows.

In which sense Arch is more powerful?
You van learn on Ubuntu as much. During the years, I almost stopped using GUI for administrative tasks, even on Desktops.
What reinstalls and lengthy updates? I put all my family on Ubuntu/Debian and they don't even know it's been updated, since I configured unattended-upgrades, and it sends me messages in case there are any problems (like once an year).
Arch has one amazing thing though -- its wiki. Much better than Ubuntu/Debian documentation, and is mostly applicable to other distributions. But for this you don't need Arch to be installed...

You need to do this, as explained in the itch.io semi-portable instructions:

Install the following libraries (execute in terminal):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0 libopenal1 libcurl3


Then, say you extracted the files to
/home/user/zero-k-portable
folder, you do
cd /home/user/zero-k-portable
./Zero-K_linux64.sh


Later you will probably want to create icon/shortcut for this, but first see if it works the basic way.

P.S. why Mint?

you could also get flobby

https://github.com/cleanrock/flobby

start it with flobby -z after compiling. I could provide full package list or .deb for .deb-distros.
So you do not need the mono shit. Also with flobby my spring runs much faster as with chobby.

also Linux Mint is not really like Windows. It ist just very user friendly but still Linux. You could try to go with any Ubuntu....

Looks like x200 has GPU=Intel X4500 and its max opengl is 2.1
Use
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./spring --safemode

to run spring. :)
Or compile your own spring with opengl 2.1 support. I'm actually using such engine and it works with --safemode OKish for me. But then i don't know how good intel driver for old integrated graphics (mine is AMD). Probably not worth the time.
Fascinating how devs (engine and ZK) maintained compatibility and engine with opengl 2.1 support still somehow playable.

run in the terminal the following two commands and post here their output:

glxinfo | grep -i opengl


and

lspci -k | grep -A5 -Pi "(vga|display|3d)"
