I had a Fujitsu Lifebook T900 (with the same stock CPU as the s710 lifebook) running Windows 7. The overall graphics capabilities was pretty bad when it came to applications made in 2015 or newer. If you install linux mint on it then I don't recommend you run games that were meant to run on Windows via something like wine. I would think that using the xfce version of linux mint is less resource intensive and would give your games more leeway. Separating your root, /home, /var, /tmp, /usr/local directories into partitions as well as having a /swap partition may increase your performance.

Gaming on Mint is fine, I ran mint on my gaming rig as my primary OS for a good year, games ran smooth, even windows games using steam proton. Mint runs pretty well out of the box, however if you're looking to improve it further, you may be better off asking on forums dedicated to Linux and gaming.
