Need Advice - Linux gaming - Mint in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Great, glad to hear that Mint will be okay. I don't mind the slower kernel/driver updates. :)

2 quick followup questions:

  1. Should I set my filesystems to something other than ext4? I know some games in windows I feel like would benefit from a faster filesystem, but I don't know a whole lot about it.
  2. If I upgrade my videocard (I'm using a NVidia GTX something something), would it be better to go for an AMD card? Do they have better linux driver support?

Need Advice - Linux gaming - Mint (lemmy.ca)
 

Hi. I've been using Linux for decades on my work machines, but most of my knowledge is pretty rusty. However for gaming I've always used a Windows machine. I'm thinking of getting rid of microsoft entirely, since I've been hearing such good things about steam & proton lately.

I was going to just install Mint on my gaming computer, but since there are a ton of experts here, I figured I should check in to see if there is any reason not to use Mint for this? And if there is any other considerations or setup I should be aware of to keep my games running well?

Is it a good watch if you aren't into k-pop?

That does look pretty fun, I'll add it to my wishlist and see how it looks once its out of early access.

Man, I wish greens had a better chance. :( Feels like nothing is ever going to change for the better.

So I can find the platform's for green, liberal and conservative, but the NDP website doesn't seem to have one. Is it not out yet, or are we just not getting one?

Edit: Whoops, I was looking at the BC conservatives, I guess the conservatives don't have one either.

Nah, I agree 100%. I couldn't get into DF after those UI changes. Doing anything felt to awkward and slow because I had to keep switching to the mouse.

I like doing chili and spaghetti. Just make a big batch and freeze for tons of meals.

I got there first thing in the morning and I couldn't believe how long the lines were. Honestly it was great to see. :)

I wish more of these sites had RSS feeds. I know The Narwhal and CBC do, but most don't seem to use it.

Also, thanks for making this list! :)
