Heroic Games Launcher and Lutris also support Proton versions, since some games run best with them. But most games simply run with the latest version of Wine or Proton respectively.

Had the same issue on 2 devices with 2 different distros, it went away by itself after around an hour.

Thank you for this! Good luck everyone.

If you do a quick web search, you can find 5 years old reddit posts that link to the exact same github of d07RiV that is first mentioned in the article. So I suppose DevilitionX will be around for the same amount of time.

This is old news, it's working for over 5 years now.

I like the idea of immutable distros a lot, but I realised they are not for me, at least not now.

I couldn't install global themes because the SDDM is immutable. There is a workaround, but it didn't work 100% for me.

I couldn't get Steam to put shortcuts on the desktop (it's a known thing, simply I didn't know it). It only worked with Bazzite which comes with Steam preinstalled. But then I couldn't edit these shortcuts (for example: -silent) because if I did, they would vanish.

Then I experimented with Waydroid. There was something I wanted to test but couldn't use the online advice because Bazzite/Aurora doesn't have dnf for example.

There were other little things I'm used to tinker on my system and couldn't so I realised, I wanna stick with other distros for the moment.

Mine is set to expire: Expires / Max-Age:"Fri, 23 Aug 2024 06:40:27 GMT" - so that's in 7 days. Great find though!

Yes I assumed that WebGL was the culprit :). And I totally agree with you, especially when the content is about surveillance.

Interesting, thanks! Never heard of Nitrux before.

Yes that's true. I just realised that I apparently tinker too much to use an immutable distro as of now. But I'm definitely keeping an eye on them.

Yes of course, that's always an option. I was just trying to look over my Mint horizon and check out other distros and how they work. Exciting!

Just did some digging - I cannot see that mentioned post on lemm.ee support. I can find the community but the last post that shows for me is from 3 months ago and when I search for the post's title I get "no results". Bit off-topic though, sorry.

Possibly, but I'm wondering why it's only affecting Lemmy then? (I'm using Librewolf that's based on Firefox)

Congrats to everyone involved! I'm really happy to see Godot thrive.

I had allowed all scripts for that website, still not working.

I like that article, I'm in a similar position at the moment. I've been using Mint on my Nvidia machine for a long time now, but with the new Mint 22 update that's also based on Ubuntu 24.04, I'm facing similar issues and so I've done some distrohopping over the past couple of weeks. I've tried Aurora/Bazzite and Nobara as Fedora based distros, Garuda and CachyOS as Arch based ones, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and probably something else I can't remember right now. All of them were great distros but had certain flaws that were offputting somehow. And I'm in no rush, since Mint 21.3 is still supported for a while.

I'm still open to suggestions what to try next! I'm getting faster and faster with fresh installs :)

No not at all, I just said that because I'm often under the impression that many people never search before posting and it sometimes annoys me so I try not to make the same mistake :D. I still miss the old forum days where we had that Bart Simpson meme.

Thanks for piecing it together, it might be a problem for more users, I'm relieved to read it's not only happening to me!

"Browser not supported" - weird choice not to support hardened browsers like Librewolf.

Thanks! I was searching for posts before I posted but hadn't found that post.

Edit: that post suggests to clear cookies - I've tried that twice on two machines, same problem still.

Refreshing logs me out when I'm logged in and does nothing when I'm logged out.

I used to have it from time to time too, but now it's every single time and that's inconvenient.

Same discussion from 4 days ago with the link to the respective Github issue: https://lemmy.ml/post/18936433

Not sure about that popularity comment, it's also available on Windows and I know of many people who have been using it for years instead of the crappy Epic Store. And yes, it works great for GOG.

Maybe you find something you like here: https://fsfe.org/contribute/spreadtheword.en.html

Invidious is facing the same problem, there's issues on both Githubs since June.

There's some really good posts with lots of comments with pros and cons to read through on Lemmy, I'd recommend for example:

Thank you Mint team, you rock!

Bummer, it worked for me, but not without some trial and error. I agree with you, it should be easier to do it.

You simply add the Firefox profile to Librewolf and everything's there.

I really like it!

The game itself was for me mid - not good not bad, but the ending? I can't believe no one mentioned it yet, that was the most impressive ending I've experienced in a game ever. Without spoilers, for those who played it, the piano notes and then darkness, I couldn't believe it, it was so good.

Thank you, that's very helpful. I will have to think about it - it comes down to a question of convenience vs. "best" security possible.

Oh yes, that's entirely my own fault. I first installed Aurora, then Steam as Flapak and later rebased to Bazzite. It was all just for trying stuff out, on my main machine, the install will be clean.

Oh I think I've found my answer, it was about SELinux being disabled. Now it says on their official website: "SELinux:

– We have replaced SELinux with AppArmor (AppArmor is used in Ubuntu and OpenSUSE) as we find it to be more user-friendly, less intrusive, and easier to write policies for. You will still see some SELinux packages as they are required to keep Fedora compatibility and not break package dependencies."

I am very interested in what you are saying. I've been trying Bazzite for a while now and I ran into some quirks I couldn't resolve - tiny stuff, that's mainly a small inconvenience like not being able to put icons on the desktop with Steam due to it being Flatpak and Valve not having enabled that specific option) -

BUT -

I've also tried Nobara then was kinda put off by people saying something along the lines, that GE disabled some security features for better performance (and since it was a distro for personal use at first) and I tried to search for the details, but came up empty. Could you say a bit more about this or where I could find more info, please? Cause I'm using my distro as daily driver and not only for gaming, so it got me worried a little.

Wow. Thanks for sharing.

A bad time to install Tumbleweed? I just downloaded the ISO today, not kidding.

Mint doesn't have you do anything. If offers Steam in their Software Manager (system package), like I said. I was simply relaying experiences from other users who recommend the .deb for it having the least problems of all methods.

1- Did you see this issue on Github? https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/3270 - maybe there is a solution in there.

2- How did you install Steam? On the official forums lots of people reported problems when having it installed via Flatpak or Mint system package. Best practice is to install it via the .deb file from https://store.steampowered.com/about/.

Thank you for this. I think it's good practice not to post plain codes but to obfuscate them in some way so that they are not snatched by bots. Not sure if this a big problem on Lemmy though.
