We need an alternative to android auto now😭

My cat used to sit on my chair after I stood up just to open the window, they just wanna sit where we sit bro

I’m not gonna put time in it anymore with this build tbh, I’m just waiting the few months until I’ve got my new build

Its a 3080 bought at release (its a bit newer than the rest of my pc). Was already afraid having an NVIDIA GPU was gonna mess it all up

Thanks for clearing it up. It is a slight rant as well I wasted a lot of time haha, I’ve already removed the Linux partition and made it windows again so I could reinstall my games. As I’m planning on getting my new pc within the next few months (as long as budget allows) I’m not planning on retrying until I have that system.

I’ve looked up gamescope but can’t figure out how I’d get that to work, did put it in my notes for when I’m trying Linux again tho, perhaps a video will clear it up. Thanks!

I tried proton and wine (at least, steam used proton and if I understand correctly Lutris uses Wine?) but both just had the same issue

I had steam installed through flatpak so don’t think that was the issue either

Thanks, here’s to hoping it works out

Sadly people like this have been there at every corner when I talk about my issues/reasons for not switching (yet). I still want to, but also think this turns off a lot of people.

That was also my guess certainly with an nvidia GPU. My next pc will be AMD based partially because I really want to make the step to Linux

The only way to actually get support with linux issues huh 😂

This pc is from about 2022/2023

The games were gold or platinum on protonDB and run fine on my steam deck

Steam / Lutris said they’re running, nothing shows up.

Your edit is another reason I actually rather stay away from Linux instead of giving it a chance / asking for help. The community feels way too elitist and insulting to anyone not praising it.

I gave up on switching to linux after losing 2 entire evenings setting it up (linux mint) just for my games not to run and not a single solution I could find working.

I’ll give it another try once I buy my new PC and set that up, but Linux is not as plug and play as windows and I totally understand that non-IT people want to stay away from it now. The community makes it sound as if everything is almost out of the box simple but that is not the case at all.

Imma just update: I have given up and wiped the drive to use it as a game drive for windows again. Each turn just gave hours of headache and I’m just done trying.

Installing Mint took over 3 hours of searching obscure errors with solutions that were way too technical. In the end having gone from 5pm to 11pm just to get Mint dual booting. Got it installed and got teamspeak and stuff installed, after a bit too long having to find out but that’s fine. Spent 4 hours trying to get steam games to run, not a single working boot and couldn’t find anything online.

I might try again once I get my new AMD based game pc whenever I have budget for it. But for now, nah this took too long and took way too much effort. I just started a new work project which has already been exhausting and I just plain don’t have the energy to bother with this. Its not plug and play like people like to say online.

I installed mint yesterday and am having a PAIN installing anything not in the software manager. Currently stuck on teamspeak as my first thing to try. Got a tar.gz and can’t find anything well explained online (as of yet, it was already 3 hours just to get mint to dual boot and I was exhausted)

So now the pizza is never eaten :(

Edit: Now that I think about it, won’t it get colder over time? Omg I’m not going to continue I’m falling down a hole that way
