The first is a surprise; the second is testing.

Nope. Had the latest mesa drivers I could get and it still didn’t work.

I ran into this exact same problem and spent a painfully long week trying to fix it. Unfortunately I couldn’t… My only solution was to switch distros and the problem disappeared. I went with Fedora and now every game works like a dream. I still don’t know what the issue was but it seems to be something to do with having an AMD system and using steam on Ubuntu.

Probably not the solution you’re looking for, but it is a solution!

Been there!

Donkey just did a video on the absurdity of the GTAVI hype: https://youtu.be/qq8d5jvjarA?si=r1_ryw0lUGkkk7ek maybe he gave rockstar the push they needed…

I have a 7900 xtx. I’m such a noob at this. What actually is the Rocm?

I think it’s the best replacement for Twitter if you’re someone trying to build an audience or if you want to be one of the audience. I’ve realized that I’m not either so I don’t really use it much.

I left before the API fiasco because I was addicted. Had a brief, beautiful couple of months away from platforms like reddit. Now addicted to Lemmy instead.

I had this dread too! I thought it would be incredibly time consuming but it ended up being a 30 min job (when I’d spent at least 4 days trying to make steam work on Ubuntu). Distro hopping is definitely one of the best features of Linux.

I’m not sure if mint is completely the same, but on Ubuntu you can easily make a bootable USB of another distro using this method: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#2-requirements

You’d then back up your data, and restart your computer and then, depending on the computer, it might either start the distro installation or you’ll need to go into bios and configure your computer to boot from USB.

It sounds more complicated than it is, but there are lots of online tutorials to show you how to do it. Just make sure to back up your data first just in case.

I had the exact same problem with Ubuntu trying to get steam games to run. Unfortunately I could not resolve it and was advised to move to another distro. I chose Fedora and now everything works perfectly without having to make any adjustments. I know it’s not the answer you’re looking for, but it is a solution.

Yours is so big it’s caused a black hole and sent us back in time.

I’ve started to feel dirty clicking on icons like some sort of peasant.

I did, but only by installing another distro (Fedora).

I have the Framework 12th gen DIY edition and I love it. I love not worrying that if I break any part of it, I won’t have to throw the whole thing away. I love that it adapts to what I need with the interchangeable expansion cards. I’ve had it for 6 months now and I still love using it. Definitely recommend.

SILOS NEEDED

One of my favourite games of all time. I forced my friend to sit and play it one night! I can’t wait for whatever they are doing next.

Yeah this is what I ended up doing. Switched to Fedora and everything works perfectly! I’ve only been using Linux for about 6 months so I’m still getting my feet wet.
