There is another tool that you can use to brute-force the wallet passphrase it was developed by Coding Enthusiast.
You can check that tool from his thread below

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5214021.0Once you downloaded it just go to Missing Mnemonic Passphrase and try to brute-force your wallet just make sure that you remember some parts of your passphrase to speed up the process.
FinderOuter is great tool/software and more user-friendly. But with lack of GPU support, btcrecover is better choice on most cases.

In my opinion, you should use Debian or at least Ubuntu! A Linux distro will be way more secured than Windows. Maybe, it is just my pro-linux propaganda which is talking right now

but it is never too late to start using Linux, and you won't regret it for sure
More importantly Linux distro use less resource which could slightly increase brute-force speed and let btcrecover (or other software) use more RAM if needed.
