I think there’s a difference between “these are a huge waste of time, and always has been. Reddit slop!”

And

“Man, these comics aren’t for me. The punchline never lands, or the art style is a bit strange and takes me out of it”, etc.

The first kind of negativity contributes very little to any sort of discussion other than to be inflammatory. The second one actually invites the discussion you mention in the comment I’m replying to.

'least… that’s how I see it.

:(

I agree here. I’m looking forward to playing these games myself, but I didn’t even consider it being a possible spoiler before the other person mentioned it.

Thank you. I appreciate the vote of confidence :)

I think a lot of documentation just fly over my head. I have a masters degree in mathematics, but so many manuals have such deeply ingrained “tribal” language that everyone takes for granted that you know.

If you have a good starting point for a poor linux noob to read manuals, hit me up.

(That being said, I DO read the manuals for appliances and all that. THAT stuff is luckily easy)

Completely agree! It makes for a game that’s still super healthy to this day, and I love that

Paraphrasing from Frost here; It’s the “stop killing games” movement, Yves. It’s not the “stop games from dying”-movement.

It’s fine if you no longer want to support a game, but you can still make it available offline if you have a lan. Trackmania is a good example, since ubi now owns that. The original is still being played in lans the world over!

So yeah, fuck you, Ubi. It’s a choice to be like this.

This is damn clever!

Had to double check when I read this. Zoomed in super close, and the second to last panel actually has a veeery faint outline of a new path

I’m gonna say FunnyJunk. It’s mostly right wing memes and downvotes if you say anything close to “I don’t think this Trump gut has it all figured out”

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 :)

Thanks. I had hoped it’d be the cart itself

Does it write to the card, or does it just write to your storage?

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.

**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

Interesting. I’ll see if I can figure something out.

Answering your question, it booted to a black screen. The screen was “on”, it wasn’t complaining about not recognising a signal or anything, so SOMETHING must’ve transmitted. I’ll try spamming some keys to see if I get a reaction. Thanks for the tip
