  • My wifes old laptop died and I got an ancient gaming laptop from a colleague and put Linux Mint on it. It works great.

    She uses it for studying and some light gaming (Stardew Valley). It just works. She never used Linux before but had zero issues using it and she even said its just like Windows, just faster.



  • Recently switched to Linux Mint.

    There are really just a couple extra steps to set up Linux for gaming. In my opinion it takes less time to install proton ge, Lurtis or Heroic than downloading and installing GPU drivers on windows:)

    For 90% I just download the game via Steam and enable Proton GE (if its not native) and play it straight away.

    In some cases if Im not happy with performance I check the Proton DB page to see what settings/proton version/launch commands other people are using and that solves it 9 out of 10.

    If you have GoG, Uplay, Epic, etc games just use Heroic or Lutris. Again, first time setup can take 20-30 min using a video tutorial, but after that its all good to go.












  • Maybe similar, but I was (and still sometimes) abandoning games and start playing another one instead.

    Its like I am unable to play something for a long time and no matter how good a game is I loose focus and it becomes repetitive.

    I partially managed to overcome this by focusing on the main game and ignoring most optional stuff or just simply lowering the difficulty to breeze through the story part.

    Still not ideal, but I am actually finishing games these days.
