So it does work on Win10 and Ubuntu.

Yes, thanks. And as of this very moment, I can confirm that an old Compaq Presario CQ57 laptop, with a fresh install of uBuntu 16.04 LTS, is running MagicMirror 2 without a hitch. And, more importantly, it’s running MMM-NFL and MMM-Voice for voice control of the module. Voice control was the important factor for me as it’s the only way to access almost all of the features on MMM-NFL As a super deluxe and surprising added benefit to the whole thing, MMM-Voice recognized, and is using, the built-in microphone of the laptop.

I’m dancing on air right now. This NFL machine is going to be a gift to my son-in-law who loves NFL football and Fantasy Football. I’m sure he’s going to love it and be the envy of all his friends.

@cowboysdude > I would format the laptop and install Unbuntu and run MM on that

Great peace of advice bro!
