Numbing da pain

No idea about why, and I’m pretty sure GrapheneOS is AOSP. I guess I’ll have to bring this up in one of their official spaces

Seen this comment several times and since you’re OP and can get more eyes on you than my random comment: P6 paid for in full, installed GrapheneOS with no gApps and no Work Profile and I still have that app

I was in a very bad mood, but this wisdom helped me put things in perspective… thank you!

Need me some schizoposting

Anecdotal, of course, but I’ve been gaming with almost zero big issues on POP! _OS with the baked in nVidia drivers since half a year ago. Both via Steam and via Lutris w/ Wine/ProtonGE. Some bugs here and there, but nothing that makes it impossible to get a satisfactory experience.

Of course it’s a different distro which you might not like, but if you really can’t make your games work on Mint do consider changing to POP! at least for the time being

That’s reassuring, for the stable release I mean!

At the moment I don’t really feel the need to update it, I’ll just wait for a bit longer. Thanks though!

Very nice, thanks for the good news! I’ll wait patiently for it to release

They actually kept developing it, with the last release in August 2022, and, even though those releases were tagged as Alpha, I’ve only had some (not more than a couple times a year) freezes with crash of the launcher since. Tested on two different phones with two different ROMs

I don’t know if there’s still someone developing it, but until something else just as good (for me) pops up, I’m sticking to Lawnchair

https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/releases

YES, foobar2000!

I also gravitated towards Audacious, but I foobar2000 was 10/10. Might consider running it through Wine, since Audacious is not quite there unfortunately

Yeah, most options were greyed out. I’ll have to visit the wiki of my distro haha thanks for the tips though

edit: actually, just checked, EXT4 isn’t greyed out, but it says “internal disk for use with Linux only” and since it’s an external/portable HDD I didn’t pick that option

I’ll keep it in mind, but since I’m getting new, bigger drives I think I’ll just wait for and format them directly in the better filesystem. I tried formatting an external HDD and I think I could only pick FAT or NTSC (I’ll double check), hopefully on the internal drives it will be different!

I’m on Pop!

Oh, I see. So you’re saying that, when I have the chance, I should move to a different filesysten and that would avoid me issues as the one in the OP?

Guess I’ll need to keep W10 around haha thanks again

It worked, thanks a lot! What would be the Linux alternative to do that?

Craved, obviously: it would be a bit embarassing and uncomfortable, but at least I would not be harming it

They actually have two sets of ears, both human ears and cat ears, but the human set is vestigial

That’s true, I hadn’t considered that some people live alone, while we had some company at least, so they might need the interaction with strangers

Totally agree! I too enjoy the time spent alone and with the few people close to me, while every other human interaction is unnecessary for my mental wellbeing haha absolutely not envious of those who need social contact to feel well

Same here, haha, between my early days of game collecting and then Steam sales fever, I have so many more games than I’m realistically going to be able to beat. Plus I’m a bit of a datahoarder, so I have everything either on physical media, and the respective console to play it, or backed up on drives, and I plan to further improve my storage in the near future, so even if Steam or the entire internet goes down, as long as there’s electricity, I’m good
