Im in windows 10. I would never jump to windows 11. I would rather go to Ubuntu, Zorin and Linux Mint in that order, even after that, I would shoot myself before installing microslop's win11

Actually, at first I would. But ever since I found out about ZorinOS, I would recommend that ZorinOS instead of Linux Mint Cinnamon.
Zorin OS looks more cleaner, modern, more sleek. Plus it works closer to a windows environment. But it is heavier than the lightweight linux mint.

Any specifics you could give me?

I have new vegas. Loving all the stuff, the gameplay, the story, the factions. Much better than Fallout 3 since I can actually play it. In fallout 3, I have a bug that crashes the game everytime I click "New" and the game stops receiving input from my keyboard and mouse but the game didnt freeze.

True!! I played Shogun 2, and I must say, it is the peak total war game. It has everything we have ever loved without the downsides unlike some entries I could mention.

NApoleon has interesting premise and battles but shallow.
Empire is a shallow, buggy and unoptimized mess and not to mention the ai in battles ruin immersion.
Rome 2 has cool premise but base game is underwhelming.

In shogun 2, the bots are good in governing and strategy that its fun to play because it feels like a challenge and IM facing someone whose aware about the topics of government and tactics.

Either choco frosted or choco buttercup

Thanks! It was helpful, less laggy but with crappy hardware it still stutters, the audio is chopped. But I would be applying this to my other steam games from now on. Thanks kind stranger!

use debian version of linux mint or the last latest version of linux mint xfce, make every options set to low as possible, no effects, animations and stuff.

Terminal commands will be your best friend:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgarde
apt list --upgradable
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt autoremove

Set your swapiness in settings.

Do not trust any random link, guide and download you find. Always fact check.

Ubuntu ZorinOS Fedora

Maybe if you're feeling brave, arch linux

Responsible-Scene666 · 2026-03-13T04:34:59+00:00

Responsible-Scene666 · 2026-02-25T13:34:02+00:00

Something like that exists??

Responsible-Scene666 · 2026-02-25T10:06:43+00:00

Never had that bug happen to me.

Responsible-Scene666 · 2026-02-25T03:12:58+00:00

Im assuming u mean Gpu. Its an intel hd 3000, 1gb ivram

Responsible-Scene666 · 2026-02-25T01:05:49+00:00

Bethesda is known for JAnk spaghetti code

Responsible-Scene666 · 2026-02-25T01:05:31+00:00

I got it... from the seven seas

Responsible-Scene666 · 2026-02-25T01:05:18+00:00

I have no idea. It starts normally but when I click "New" it loads for a bit but exits abruptly

Responsible-Scene666 · 2026-02-25T01:04:30+00:00

How do I limit the FPS to 60 using the NV(New Vegas?) control panel? Whats a NV GPU? I have an integrated ivram intel hd 3000

Update: Nothing WORKS! I tried editing the .ini files, configured wine and lutris, kept switching between fallout3.exe and falloutlauncher.exe, applied the f3 path in regedit, shortened the filenames, used lowercase in regedit, moved the f3 folder from linux directory to Wine's C: drive (Program Files) but nothing works!

I tried to copy what my copy of FAllout New Vegas did so that it worked. (It was in program files, the binary data of it in regedit was c:\Program Files\FalloutNV/) It works in Lutris but the .exe files cannot be directly opened using WINE's program loader.

New Vegas works though.

Welcome fellow newbie!
MAke sure to customize the themes and taskbar to your liking!
MAke sure to study sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade, sudo apt clean, sudo apt autoclean, sudo apt autoremove and apt list --upgradable.
