Linux Mint
As someone who just ditched them, apparently here was where you went wrong. Trying to get Nvidia drivers working on Mint for gaming is bad enough that some documentation for programs I’ve wanted to run has straight up said “Don’t even try this on Mint.”
Real shame because I liked a lot about Mint, but I would like to be able to run games like Warframe and Last Epoch more. I wish they were a lot more up front about the issues the distro seems to have with Nvidia.
Not denying you’ve had trouble, but my experience of Linux Mint gaming was
- Install Mint
- Install Steam.deb
- Install Nvidia driver
- Install games
- Play games
Only game that didn’t work first time was Star Wars: The Souls-like One With the Ginger Jedi. Tried a few months/updates later and it worked
