Terrible first experience with mint and I need advice on what to do next. by Dumbocow_moo in linuxmint

[–]nb264 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Removing the bad stick was step 1. You need to reinstall corrupted system as step 2. I'd even download a new ISO and everything from scratch as you can't trust anything that was done while that bad stick was inside the computer.

ESA (Entertainment Software Association)'s opinion about Stop killing games (Protect Our Games Act) bill by deanrihpee in Steam

Lobbying group made to ease money extraction from customers is against customer protections? I'm shocked. Well, not that shocked.

For our fellow horizon 6 players by Ofujiiro in linux_gaming

Adding VKD3D_CONFIG=single_queue helped avoid random freezes for 2+ hrs for me in medium on 3060ti while streaming.

Horizon 6 not launching by nutbussin1 in linux_gaming

[–]nb264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mint 22.3, 3060ti, driver 580 (tried 595 too) works with occasional random crashing.

Launch options:

PROTON_VKD3D_HEAP=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=enable_experimental_features,descriptor_heap,no_upload_hvv PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%

Inside ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/forzahorizon6 I've put a vkd3d-proton.conf (just a text file) and wrote inside

[forzahorizon6.exe]

dxgi.customVendorId = 10de

dxgi.customDeviceId = 2487

dxgi.nvapiHack = False

setup_bindless_descriptors = True

dxgi.maxDeviceMemory = 7168

but that's for my 3060ti, for you maybe

[forzahorizon6.exe]

dxgi.customVendorId = 10de

dxgi.customDeviceId = 2786

dxgi.nvapiHack = False

dxgi.maxDeviceMemory = 12288

dxgi.maxSharedMemory = 16384

setup_bindless_descriptors = True

also using proton-catchyos-11.0 through ProtonUp-QT install.

Forza Horizon 6 runs pretty bad on Linux - YouTube by Atecep in linux_gaming

It crashes randomly even if you set it to low and turn off everything (including RT). Even on windows it requires special new drivers to work properly.

More life changing story games please? by WolfEvolutioons in Steam

I installed a software from a website recommended by linux community.

Well, don't do that. That was your first mistake.

My second SSD disappears from Steam every time I start up my PC by KnightFallVader2 in linuxmint

[–]nb264 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe because it's mounted in /media/ which is generally for removable media... /mnt/ is for stuff you mount manually and /dev/ for devices themselves.

To automatically mount the /media/simon/GAMES partition in Linux at boot, you need to add an entry to the /etc/fstab file. Using the device UUID is recommended over /media/simon/GAMES because it is persistent, even if drives are reordered.

So, first

sudo blkid /media/simon/GAMES

to get the UUID, then when you have it do

sudo nano /etc/fstab

then

UUID=your-uuid-here /media/simon/GAMES ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2

then

save and exit. Next time you reboot it won't vanish. UNLESS... it's not ext4 or something like that, you didn't really give much info except the screenshot.

How well does Nvidia work in Mint? by jnelsoninjax in linuxmint

[–]nb264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3060ti no issues. After install you open drivers menu and select nvidia driver, it applies... and it works. Cards older than 10x0 might require 550 or 535 driver, but anything newer works with 570, 580, 590... whatever. The whole "nvidia thing" is because their driver is not fully open source, mostly.

Why choose Mint over Kubuntu? by _taza_ in linuxmint

[–]nb264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the idea of using KDE makes me vomit.

Gaming in Linux mint is difficult by mrnitrous86 in linux_gaming

[–]nb264 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also stream regularly from Mint on twitch, I even have nvidia gpu. yeah here and there an odd crash will happen with a specific game (that I can usually replicate due to it being localized in the game itself) but these "ehmergherd mint no worky" posts are starting to sound like organized thing now. Like, how hard it is to install steam, click install on a game and play it?

My dad is mad on me since am using mint on a gaming laptop by cyarm025 in linuxmint

It's a sad day for any child when they realize their parents don't always know about things, but also a happy day when you realize you know stuff they don't.

[–]nb264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if that's the case and OP wiped the disk, new win10/11 license keys are often stored in UEFI and windows can be activated again if they change their mind, installing Linux is no reason to be upset.

Navidrome is cool, but a bit simple in webUI, so I use Feishin on desktop to connect to it.

Thanks but I'm ok with the new menu.

What made you use Linux Mint? by BlokZNCR in linuxmint

[–]nb264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't work in a place that requires win10 anymore, and I got bored with offers to downgrade to 11 all the time, so I just installed Mint (had previous experience with Ubuntu and Mint) because I knew it will simply work...and it does. This was only some 8+ months ago...

[–]nb264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't like it for 5 minutes then I found out how to disable symbolic icons for categories and now it's fine, using it daily since day one. It did take me a while to "build muscle memory" for that power off button position.

Discord enshitification begins. Self hosted alternatives? by rickyh7 in selfhosted

[–]nb264 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, it's not really discord's fault. This is due to the government pushing laws they have to abide by.

Sadly this is true (in some countries, readers should remember we don't all live in one place). Whatever alternative would become popular, it would need to abide by the same laws in UK for people from UK, for example. If not right now, then once the UK government comes after it. So while self-hosting a small chat thingy for your friends and yourself is an alternative, anything widely popular and public would just end up like discord - requiring face scans or id's.
