45+ is "older people" to you?

What a stupid headline.

"So who are these people? They're a bit more likely to be female. While both the comparison groups were roughly evenly split between male and female, the superspreaders were 60 percent female. They're also older, on average 58 years old, nearly 20 years older than the sample as a whole."

One important part for gaming is the graphics card - I cannot comment on that particular one, but I would recommend searching it like "nvidia rtx 4070 + linux" so you can find advice and recommendations. You could also hop over to https://www.protondb.com/, select that card and see what most people are running. Or there is this https://linux-hardware.org/ page, where you find lots of info about whats being recommended.

Nvidia used to be problematic with Linux, but I also have an older Nvidia card and haven't run into any problems (yet). Also there's lots of new development in that area, I'm sure it's gonna be ok. Also some distros offer preinstalled Nvidia drivers that you simply select in a driver manager - that for example is the case for Linux Mint.

Keep at it, you got this and there's so many people and resources online to help. Best of luck!

Glad to hear so many volunteered so quickly, awesome!

Hello and welcome!

Well, in that case, I hope you already subscribed to the following communites :)

!minecraft@lemmy.world

!moddedminecraft@sopuli.xyz

!minecraft@sh.itjust.works

!minecraft@lemmy.ca

and so on and so on

I hope you will enjoy your stay here, it's always nice to welcome a motivated person who wants to contribute.

The usual suspects are Bazzite, Garuda, Nobara. But you can game on every distro. To give proper advice, some info on your hardware would be needed.

Back in the day we used Knoppix, I know it still exists, but no clue if it's still viable?

Just for choosing: https://distrochooser.de/ - or put some distros with a tool like Ventoy on a USB stick and do a live install to test it on the actual system. The many options are a great thing, but of course not easy to get into at first. So I'd try not to overthink it, distrohopping is a hobby for some of us :D

Have a good transition and if you stick with Mint, I'd recommend the official forums for any questions: https://forums.linuxmint.com/index.php

Mrs. Troi, this is a great picture. Would you share where and when you took it?

Proton should work well but if you have any questions you might wanna subscribe to

!linux_gaming@lemmy.ml, !linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I hope you will find everything you need and that the transition will be smooth!

Edit: Fixed the links, thanks bot.

This is so cool and wholesome, thank you.

I'm sure it's fun, really, but having a rootkit in a PVE game and that PSN requirement on top, that all seems fishy. I know Sony backed off for now, but like you said, it's a live service and they might change it again. I still hope players can enjoy it and have a great time.

Not at all, in Linux Mint for example I simply picked the recommended driver and I had no issues with that.

This really caught my eye, but does it make sense for an older PC?

Oh I see. I personally haven't used any particularly lightweight browser, but maybe one of those would do the job: https://itsfoss.com/lightweight-web-browsers-linux/ Glad to hear you like it so far! Hope it all checks out.

Hey, looks good! The sound panel (Menu - Sound & Video or simply type "sound") should let you choose and test your headset. Let us know how it goes!

I do that quite often - turn down the difficulty and simply enjoy the story. Sometimes, when a game is very long for example, but I still love the characters and the story, I watch one of those "game movies" of people who made different choices or followed different paths.
