Southern boy merging tech and gaming. Whoda thunk it. Its unfortunate the Nix maintainer has lost their mind and its support and popularity has plummeted. Such a cool concept. Started out on Manjaro, thinking quality would degrade over time with all the drama I learned about the Manjaro team. Fortunately it has only improved, and they have managed to keep their SSL updated lol.

I'm not sure how to fix this, but I have an igpu and dgpu, running games from steam it uses the dgpu, however when I follow the method like you presented to add it as a non-steam game it doesn't use the nvidia dgpu. I have even taken a step further and started the TurtleWoW.AppImage with switcherooctl and it sits on the dGPU, however as soon as I launch WoW.exe it goes to the iGPU, I'm kind of perplexed on why WoW.exe (or possibly proton specifically???) refuses to go onto the dGPU.

Love it. And yes, I agree with people saying Linux Mint should be more visually appealing. But, do not forget, Cinnamon is very much customizable. I started using "Sweet - New Flavor" theme (specifically Sweet Ambar Blue Dark v40) with Candy icons. And it looks like a totally different distro. But yes, out-of-the-box they should improve it. 22.1 is a step forward, and there's more to come!

Nice review as always! So I tried installing this and found a very strange glitch. I have Windows 11 on another NVMe drive, and even when I tried to install this Linux Mint beta and putting everything entirely on another NVMe drive, it would create the boot partition on the same drive as the installation, but it always copied the boot folder to the EFI partition on my other drive where Windows was. It would boot up after install, then the screens would just be blank forever, and I would have to restart it. I tried it 3 different times, and I think apart from physically removing the other NVMe drive with Windows on it, it won't work. So I just installed Linux Mint 22. I suspect this issue won't exist when I upgrade to 22.1 since the boot partition already has Mint's boot files and configuration on its own drive / partition.

I once was an Ubuntu user (after Madriva died). Observing distrowatch, it is obvious that many are giving Ubuntu the boot. I am now fully on LMDE and Cinnamon, which to my delight is absolutely stable! I was thoroughly enamoured with Mate before, because it was the direct successor of the most excellent Gnome 2, the most stable and useful Linux desktop of the day. KDE was slick looking, but crash happy, and I never looked at it again in more than 10 years now. Then I ran into hickups in Mint 19 for my refurb boxes, so I ran the Ubuntu Mate flavour for a few years UNTIL Ubuntu practically forced SNAP (most applications are available as SNAPs ONLY now), with its HUGE installs (typically 1 GB vs much smaller for.deb) and rogue, un-announced updates (WTF is happening now?), hogging my internet connection with more updates than Small'N'Limp's PeepingFrames OS. BEGONE! Returning to Mint, I thought about them using Ubuntu as a base, and that Ubuntu is based on Debian, so why not use Linux Mint Debian, aka LMDE, skipping all dependence on Ubuntu? Happy times!

MATE is more classic so this one for me!
@owenlaprath41353 күн бұрын
I like both Mate and Cinnamon, and am running the Debian base of Mint, for a lovely and convenient OS. Mate is a fork and continuation of Gnome 2 (used Gnome since 1999), while Cinnamon cleaned away the garbage interface they introduced with Gnome 3, has a modern implementation of classic desktop structures with well organised launch menues, and allowed great customisation all the way back to whatever you wanted. I used to run Mate, because several years ago Cinnamon was not 100% stable yet. I never saw much difference to Cinnamon, except the control panel layouts, but that was never really a big deal. Since dumping Ubuntu when they went bonkers with SNAP (ran Mate Ubuntu 18 after Mint 19 was crashing on my old refurbs), I came back to Mint 20 and then LMDE5 (dumping even Ubuntu's distro base, who needs it anway?), and am now on LMDE6, which only comes packed with Cinnamon. Cinnamon has been totally rock solid for several years now, and it has that timeless, never changing quality just like Mate. If it is good, why change it?
@零云-u7e6 күн бұрын
Ya, like others, Manjaro is cool, has a kernel selector tool, big but.... package install issues. In my case, thankfully, it catches things. Endeavour warns about pamac. Use pacman for Arch, yay for AUR, but pamac is distant. And that may get better in the future. I'm currently on Endeavour for my daily. It seems safer thus far, but yes, Arch forces you to put your hands on the wheel, and I like that.

Any idea why I (and some others) cannot sell items? I tried Proton Experimental, and I tried the latest GE (9.21), but neither works. I'm at a vendor, I hold down the ALT key and the mouse changes to the bag icon when hovering over an item to sell. I can right-click or left-click, but nothing ever sells. Nothing happens other than the icon change when holding the ALT key.

Fyi, a redditor posted a workaround that functions for some (but not all) people experiencing this problem. Instead of using the required ALT-RightClick, try using CTRL-ALT-RightClick. Thankfully, this workaround functioned for me.
