I've started using Nobara recently, and I like it a LOT. Makes it really easy for a noob like me to both play games and edit videos. I actually made a Monster Hunter video entirely in Linux with Davinci Resolve, and it worked really well. I've been an adobe tool my entire editing life, but I really like the switch I recently made :)
There are a scant few people who deserve to be bullied for their actions of hurting others. Mikayla was NOT one of them. How someone can bully someone who is doing their best to help make the world better... I can never understand.
I saw people saying that she made a lot of mistakes that could have been avoided, and while that may be, at least she did something about it, unlike so many others.
To me, it has to be Gordon Freeman. He represents Valve, and I can't think of a gaming company more linked to PC gaming than Valve.
I adore king's quest, space quest and all these classics. Same with Monkey Island, but when it comes to... Well, mascot sounds wrong. Figurehead may be better here, I think Gordon's ties to Valve gives him a pretty strong case for PC gaming icon.
The goose from untitled goose game doesn't feel like a PC gaming mascot to me since it's a single game that's also on almost every console.
The beauty of Linux is its wonderful ability to be customized. Maybe Xanmod is a good kernel for you if you play games?
Maybe if you use a desktop environment with Wayland, you'll have less issues with screen sharing in Discord.
It's always nice to hear what other people's experiences are. Depending on the distro, updating drivers can be a bit trickier than noobs might expect since "Driver manager" might not actually have the newest drivers, etc.
Telling people to RTFM is all well and good, but why not share the stuff you've learned with others who are just getting started?
How to get performance boosts through the newest drivers.
How to play games and streaming them on discord without tanking the framerate.
How to troubleshoot if something goes wrong.
Which kernel to use, etc.
There are so many Nuances to gaming on Linux, so there's definitely a market for it. Not seen this video yet though, could be just surface level stuff.
**I appreciate the help immensely. ** First thing I needed to do was figure out how to get grub to show, and to do that, I changed a file in /etc/default/grub to have the menu style be "menu" instead of "hidden".
Second I tried adding the nvidia_drm.fbdev=0, but it would boot directly into the default version of Mint (x11). I then had to disable auto-login in the lightdm.conf found in /etc/lightdm/
After that, I finally booted into Wayland again after adding the temporary parameters and... I get a black screen again, sadly. At least the TTY works so I can get out, no problem.
I did a bunch more tinkering that I found online, but after a lot of trying and failing and trying and failing, I went back to x11, only to realize that the driver manager was well and truly messed up. Could not get it to start at all. Ended up feeling pretty happy I took a snapshot of the system before I started all this, cause I could just rollback everything and now it works like before. (Still no wayland though, but whatever :P )
I am a teacher by trade, so I absolutely love helping others. I'll absolutely pass it forward! This is also how you build a healthy community, I think :D
Alright, I've managed to open the TTY when trying to boot into Mint(wayland). You were right! It's probably an issue with my nvidia drivers. I'll see what I can do. Thanks
Yesterday, I tried booting into Wayland on Linux Mint, and I got NOTHING.
I rebooted and got nothing again. I tried the Ctrl+alt+F(x) key combo, but that didn't work either. From your explanation, it sounds like I should've been able to at least get a terminal for that, but it didn't seem to work. Could that be because graphically, it WAS displaying something after all?
Ended up unplugging the screens from the GPU and tried plugging it straight into the mobo instead, and it ended up working after all.
