And yes I looked it up and it was the game’s fault, elite dangerous odyssey can be fickle even when I had Windows 🤷♂️
I’m gonna get shit for it, but gaming on Linux really isn’t great imo.
My experience is that it’s a pain in the arse to get anything running, performance is worse, vsync is fucked, no HDR, doesn’t work with Hue Sync, and then a hundred other miscellaneous problems.
Proton is an incredible achievement from a technical standpoint, and if people are happy to put up with issues to protect their privacy then good on them, but I think people oversell how good the actual Linux gaming experience is.
P.S. I don’t need suggestions on how to fix the issues I listed. I’m more than able to resolve them if I had the time, I just don’t want to have those problems to start with.
People always paint Mint as a “beginner distro”. That’s just so dumb. Mint is perfectly fine for anybody who just wants stuff to run in their computer with minimum hassle. If you like tinkering, by all means install Arch. But if you just want something that works, use Mint.
Linux mint is an amazing distro and it was the one that really got me into Linux 10 years ago. It just works!
The liquorix kernel has done wonders for me on that front. Your experience will vary though.
The most dangerous curl sudo bash on the internet :P meh it’s probably fine…
