Great find, thanks for making me aware of this artist.

Their easy installer is why many people I know installed it, but it only supports 21 devices and mine wasn't one of them, so I can't say much about usability or security. If yours is one of them, there's also a Linux guide on their website: https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer

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.

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.
