My Windows 10 install shat the bed so I’m trying Linux Mint again.
It’s crazy how a computer can feel brand new again when 50 different pieces of bloatware aren’t trying to all start on boot.
The gaming situation is so much different now with Steam Play and Proton. Although I’ve found that just because a game is Steam Deck Verified, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll work the first try.
I installed PopOS last year after I got fed up with bloatware, adds, and just outright annoying “notifications” in windows 10 and 11, and I haven’t looked back.
I found a great resource in the ProtonDB website for configuring proton settings as I have also occasionally had games not work properly that are steam deck verified. There are typically enough people posting how they overcame issues and their build components so you can try to match up their fixes with your computer parts. It helps a ton most of the time.
