Thanks!

Great picture! I might use that as my new phone wallpaper, if that’s ok with you.

That’s not too hard a question for me, I’ve been using the same DE for years: KDE

Glad you got it sorted.

A Doctor Who fan immediately thinks of Vashta Nerada.

I don’t think that’s distro related. I’ve played GW2 on Mint with an Nvidia card and it worked just like on Windows. I installed the Steam version though and linked my account.

What Proton version are you using in Steam to play it, did you try some different ones? Without knowing what your issue really is, there are some tinker steps mentioned on ProtonDB, maybe have a look. It’s really hard to recommend anything without more info.

This is a very wholesome post and picture. Thank you for sharing this and encouraging others.

Boot times - I have an old and weak laptop, but it still works fine for some purposes. Boot times are so much shorter with Linux and I don’t sit around waiting anymore :)

And here’s KDE’s: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/design

There are a couple of other posts, you’ll find them quickly if you search for Pewdiepie.

LineageOS has instructions for Windows/Mac/Linux: https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide

Where would one find that?

Same. The dev is very active and open to suggestions. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and it’s working great.

KeepassXC is great, but I realised very late in the process of setting it up, that the browser extension does not support Flatpak based browsers: “Please note that in general Flatpak and Snap based browsers are not supported, Ubuntu’s Firefox Snap being an exception.” (https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser/wiki/Troubleshooting-guide)

I hope this might change at some point.

A well devised plan.

Their easy installer is why many people I know installed it, but it only supports 21 devices and mine wasn’t one of them, so I can’t say much about usability or security. If yours is one of them, there’s also a Linux guide on their website: https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer

You have to read further. To quote some of it:

“You use steam-installer from Ubuntu repos. There is also the official .deb installer from Valve Their differences: a) Valve’s Steam & steam dependencies get updates. Ubuntu package does not. For now in Mint 22 this is not a problem. Both packages are in the same version or they were the last time I checked but this was quite recently. b) Ubuntu package still uses an obsolete folder layout in your “home” that official Steam doesn’t follow any longer. It was creating some problems.”

This is an older thread but as I said, it was just an example. There’s tons more on that forum.

In Mint most people recommend installing Steam directly from the website as .deb. There are dozens of informative threads on the official forums, which also explain some differences of the installation method, for example: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=427582

How come I’ve never heard of Roboquest, that looks fun too!

Thank you for the elaborate response, I appreciate it. It sounds like I would enjoy the game.

Oh my Gaige, I haven’t thought of that for a while… “and I reloaded early… again.” Still played her a lot!
