And yes I looked it up and it was the game’s fault, elite dangerous odyssey can be fickle even when I had Windows 🤷♂️
I’m gonna get shit for it, but gaming on Linux really isn’t great imo.
My experience is that it’s a pain in the arse to get anything running, performance is worse, vsync is fucked, no HDR, doesn’t work with Hue Sync, and then a hundred other miscellaneous problems.
Proton is an incredible achievement from a technical standpoint, and if people are happy to put up with issues to protect their privacy then good on them, but I think people oversell how good the actual Linux gaming experience is.
P.S. I don’t need suggestions on how to fix the issues I listed. I’m more than able to resolve them if I had the time, I just don’t want to have those problems to start with.
People always paint Mint as a “beginner distro”. That’s just so dumb. Mint is perfectly fine for anybody who just wants stuff to run in their computer with minimum hassle. If you like tinkering, by all means install Arch. But if you just want something that works, use Mint.
Isn’t that what they mean by “beginner distro”? Something that just works?
But it implies that if you use it, it means you’re not that knowledgeable. As if knowledgeable people need to recompile their kernel every day just because they can.
Eh, I think knowledgeable people know better than to trust such implications. If you’re savvy enough you can do everything you want on any distro, but if you’re just getting into Linux there are some better, less challenging entry points and Mint is one of them.
I can see that perspective, but I think the word ‘beginner’ still makes it sound like people want to paint Mint in a poor light. It sounds elitist ya know? Perhaps a better word for it is reliable.
I run both windows 10 and linux on different machines, I legit had a nightmare last night that my windows machine updated itself to windows 11.
The liquorix kernel has done wonders for me on that front. Your experience will vary though.
The most dangerous curl sudo bash on the internet :P meh it’s probably fine…
Linux mint is an amazing distro and it was the one that really got me into Linux 10 years ago. It just works!
Having this issue with Dyson sphere program, strangely enough, changing graphics settings does nothing, changing the fps-ups slider only changes ups, and the only way I can raise fps is to use a mod to disable rendering of almost everything, making the game unplayable
heys guys
how to add threads?laughs in linux
Still has performance issues
See post text, turns out it wqs elite dangerous’ fault.
Oh i did i just found it funny enough to comment either way
Mint is an excellent “daily driver” option. I used it for years. Running EndeavourOS these days but nothing bad to say about Mint. If I’d have stayed with it, I’d have likely moved to LMDE by now though. Although, that’s more about my concerns with the direction Canonical is heading than Mint itself.
I used Linux mint back in the Mint 17.0 days and loved it. I have since gone back to windows and use Ubuntu for my headless server but haven’t tried mint in a while maybe I should go back especially with how much gaming on Linux has evolved. I really hate windows and only use it for games so it’s an exciting time to move back to Linux.
