I‘m pretty excited, ngl! I‘ve recently finished my daily driver and put ubuntu 23.04 on it. 3060ti (don’t buy nvidia! Just dont) and an i9, 32gigs of ram. Streaming on an apple tv with a ds4 controller.

All settings maxed with raytracing ultra (did hitch a bit like 30-40 min into the game, either bigger rooms or heat buildup, gotta check that) turned off raytracing, everything was fine again.

The game is so cinematic and 3rd person lends itself to controllers imo.

But I wanted to share this because it blew my mind how far linux gaming has come. You don’t need a game console. You can just run it on your tv over fkin lan. Crazy!

Honestly not really, but on top of recent hate due to snap and etc, I have deeper rooted frustrations from the pre-proton era and having to suffer through dependency hell with ppa and such when trying to use bleeding edge packages to get things working and squeeze out individual frames per second, plain debian not being much better at the time, and just getting old and not even having the patience to slamy keyboard any more.

Well, your frustration is a bit dated but quite understandable. I have not checked mint yet but for someone migrating from windows, ubuntu does work and given the recent changes, it works for everything including games.
