From the website: "We are starting with iOS and Android games because this is where most dark patterns appear, but we will be adding other platforms soon." So that looks good for your request.
For me its Subnautica because the progression works so well. I've tried lots of survival games and sandbox games with similar progression afterwards, but none of them had the same impact on me. It's also because of the genre - Sci-fi on an alien planet, discovering what actually happened, and all that baked into some real satisfying gaming loop. Also, without spoilers, the end sequence always makes me emotional, regardless of how many times I've played it. It just speaks to me on a personal level.
Subnautica
What a stupid headline.
"So who are these people? They're a bit more likely to be female. While both the comparison groups were roughly evenly split between male and female, the superspreaders were 60 percent female. They're also older, on average 58 years old, nearly 20 years older than the sample as a whole."

Have a good transition and if you stick with Mint, I'd recommend the official forums for any questions: https://forums.linuxmint.com/index.php
If you decide to contribute there, it's quite clear that all the information is public. I mean you can see how the website is structured and what kind of information can be found at each entry.
Additionally, the github states the following about the protondb data: "Data exports from ProtonDB.com released under ODbL" - see here: https://github.com/bdefore/protondb-data
Short answer: no. I'm using Linux Mint with an Nvidia card and it works great. From the games you've mentioned I've played Guild Wars 2 and Warframe with zero problems, they actually ran like on Windows where I had them installed before. Steam, Heroic Games Launcher, Bottles, Lutris - they all work fine for me.
Also some of the issues you're describing don't sound like a typical GPU problem. But sure, try a different distro, maybe your particular hardware setup doesn't play nice with Mint.
Linux Mint and Pop!_OS are the most recommended beginner friendly distros that "just work" in my experience. That being said, before you install, you can try out the look and feel here: https://distrosea.com/
Is there a text version of this interview?
https://joinbookwyrm.com/ looks great! Since it's an ActivityPub service, could it also connect with Lemmy? If yes, how?
Yes. It's like "let's not pursue new ideas, it's too risky. Let's repeat what worked once" - like in the movie industry as well. It's boring and uninspired.
No need to be passive aggressive, but if you think all people on lemmy are so tech savvy, then why post it here?
