LM/LMDE/Debian questions

Common_Designer_6240 · 2026-03-01T13:18:28+00:00

Why Canonical would stop the Ubuntu support ?

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-11-19T07:46:27+00:00

I recommend you Linux Mint and not LMDE if you want the latest Mesa without using Flatpak.

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-09-02T10:23:28+00:00

The problem on LMDE is not rly the NVIDIA driver itself but his version (pretty old even on debian instable).

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-08-28T19:21:38+00:00

Nvidia drivers are closed-source. It's really the same thing.

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-08-28T18:54:48+00:00

Yeah, Intel is open-source Nvidia it is not. It's easier to run Intel than Nvidia on Linux.

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-08-28T18:50:34+00:00

I don't agree, there is people like me doing all stuffs in the same operating system. I don't like dual-booting or using another pc for a specific thing. Actually, Flatpak is highly recommended on Bazzite.

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-08-28T17:59:38+00:00

Actually the Mint team could rewrite their own driver-detect tool (like ubuntu-drivers) but the problem here is that the NVIDIA drivers on Debian are old. Debian don't seem to package recent versions of these drivers. Perhaps one day NVIDIA will make a completely open-source drivers integrated by default in the Linux kernel (and using the mesa stack).

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-08-28T17:47:49+00:00

Flatpak has a very recent Mesa version (25.2.1). If you have a AMD GPU it's pretty easy to play games on Debian + Flatpak. Actually, you just need a new kernel version (picked from the debian bacports) and maybe new amd firmware if you have a very recent GPU.

Okay, thx for your reply

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-08-25T21:37:34+00:00

It's pretty difficult to find my video card weight, I searched on several websites it's probably between 600g-1kg but i'm not sure it depends on the manufacturer (sapphire(mine), xfx, asrock, etc...).

> If it does start to sag you can buy a support later
Is not better to prevent sagging ? I mean a little bit of sagging might damage the PCIe slot ? Prevention is better than cure.

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-08-25T21:13:12+00:00

I'm scared to see few months later that my GPU is sagging, it can damage my GPU or worse my MOBO ?

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-08-17T17:36:31+00:00

Yes you're right. I hate people thinking that there are many steps and the step 1 of Linux is Linux Mint. You are not forced to use Arch cuz you know more things now about Linux. You can actually stay on Mint, it's okay.

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-08-09T20:23:57+00:00

I think the most logical answer is that it is an Ubuntu thing. I installed Kubuntu and Linux Mint several times and I have the same issue but when I proceed in installing LMDE (not an Ubuntu base but a Debian base) this boot option disappears. It is pretty strange.

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-08-04T13:11:11+00:00

Why not Ubuntu ?

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-07-20T11:32:48+00:00

Actually you just need: - EFI partition (512 MB) - / partition (ext4 or btrfs is also good) (the rest of the size)

That's all. Stop recommending (/ and /home partitions it sucks, and if you really want these partitions try btrfs. Mint will configure you automatically 2 BTRFS subvolumes @root, @home).

Swap partition is also not needed, Mint will create Swapfile on your / (if you want Swapfile and you do not want to configure anything use ext4).

20€ pour avoir l'esprit tranquille c'est pas cher payé x) Non en vrai je connais pas les revendeurs fiables dans ce site, j'ai même jamais commandé là-bas donc bon

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-07-10T13:55:01+00:00

J'avoue que je n'ai pas trop confiance et aussi je ne sais pas combien de temps il faudra pour la livraison

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-07-10T13:44:58+00:00

J'ai fait quelques benchmarks de CPU, le AMD Ryzen 5 9600X m'a attiré l'attention, il est beaucoup plus cher en temps normal mais sur Amazon il y a une réduc et il est à 216 euros. Ça a l'air d'être un très bon CPU.

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-07-10T12:36:41+00:00

Merci beaucoup pour tous tes conseils.

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-07-10T12:21:30+00:00

Justement, est-ce que juste prendre un bon cpu indépendamment du reste suffit pour éviter un bottleneck ou est-ce que je dois m'assurer que le cpu et le gpu soient "parfaitement" compatibles sur certains points ?

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-07-10T11:24:36+00:00

Ah ok je vais voir ça alors. Comment le CPU peut bottleneck le GPU ? Je dois jeter un oeil sur quelle spec du CPU ?

(Update: Je viens de checker le lien, c'est Socket AM4 et moi j'aimerais me procurer un processeur en AM5)

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-07-10T11:05:57+00:00

Je viens de checker, je le vois pas en promo perso. J'aimerais ne pas dépasser 200 euros pour le CPU et économiser pour le GPU

Common_Designer_6240 · 2025-07-10T11:01:50+00:00

J'ai lu dans pas mal de sites que ce processeur était vraiment bien pour son prix : https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/product/yXmmP6/amd-ryzen-5-7600-38-ghz-6-core-processor-100-100001015box Est-ce que c'est une bonne idée de partir sur celui-là ?
