The first is a surprise; the second is testing.

Etho

Nope. Had the latest mesa drivers I could get and it still didn’t work.

I ran into this exact same problem and spent a painfully long week trying to fix it. Unfortunately I couldn’t… My only solution was to switch distros and the problem disappeared. I went with Fedora and now every game works like a dream. I still don’t know what the issue was but it seems to be something to do with having an AMD system and using steam on Ubuntu.

Probably not the solution you’re looking for, but it is a solution!

This is so stupid that it’s amazing.

Whale and fermented shark in Iceland.

Been there!

Donkey just did a video on the absurdity of the GTAVI hype: https://youtu.be/qq8d5jvjarA?si=r1_ryw0lUGkkk7ek maybe he gave rockstar the push they needed…

It’s the game it should have been at launch. Everything feels a lot more fleshed out. There are still a tonne of bugs though but none game breaking.

God damn this game is great. Bought it at launch but waited until recently to play and I’m absolutely loving it.

The Leftovers. I’d been sleeping on it for years and finally watched it this year. The best ending to anything I’ve ever seen.

Here is an interesting fact: Bananas are naturally radioactive. They contain potassium, and a tiny fraction of that potassium is actually the radioactive isotope potassium-40. This has even led to the creation of the “banana equivalent dose,” a playful unit of radiation exposure!

I think it’s the best replacement for Twitter if you’re someone trying to build an audience or if you want to be one of the audience. I’ve realized that I’m not either so I don’t really use it much.

Why does this feel like it’s already out of date? I guess the Apple one is just more impressive.

I left before the API fiasco because I was addicted. Had a brief, beautiful couple of months away from platforms like reddit. Now addicted to Lemmy instead.

I had this dread too! I thought it would be incredibly time consuming but it ended up being a 30 min job (when I’d spent at least 4 days trying to make steam work on Ubuntu). Distro hopping is definitely one of the best features of Linux.

I’m not sure if mint is completely the same, but on Ubuntu you can easily make a bootable USB of another distro using this method: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#2-requirements

You’d then back up your data, and restart your computer and then, depending on the computer, it might either start the distro installation or you’ll need to go into bios and configure your computer to boot from USB.

It sounds more complicated than it is, but there are lots of online tutorials to show you how to do it. Just make sure to back up your data first just in case.

I had the exact same problem with Ubuntu trying to get steam games to run. Unfortunately I could not resolve it and was advised to move to another distro. I chose Fedora and now everything works perfectly without having to make any adjustments. I know it’s not the answer you’re looking for, but it is a solution.
