Ah, a run of the mill fascist pile o’ shit! Well, if he has fear of being replaced, i hear Trump is offering asylum for racist pricks like him; we’ll replace him with a *gasp* brown or black refugee and everyone is happy!

It takes 5-10 reloads to get an page from IMDB lol

I’m happy that i could help you find the solution to your issues, thanks for letting me know!

I’m the same with Roccat / now Turtle Beach. It’s not even their policies, but their hardware is easy to repair yourself if its a small fix, and i hadn’t any device die on me yet in the last 10 years where it wasn’t selfinflicted a.k.a drown the Keyboard in half a liter of soda - the second time; sadly the liquid reached the rgb-ic which shorted so hard that it melted before i could do anything.

Their driver support for linux could be better tho (have to switch to the windows VM and use USB passthrough to configure). has anyone a recommendation for gaming keyboard/mice which support macros and multiple layers under linux?

I used the Nobara Driver Manager to do it, so i can’t really tell you how it works on Mint. It might be that youi have to reinstall your video drivers too, since those functions are closely related in my driver manager. FWIW, you might wanna look at the available renderer options for vulkan.

This is where i can reinstall Mesa and my Drivers, maybe it helps:

I explicitely chose Nobara because it’s well documented that Nvidia Cards tend to cause issues, and Nobara makes handling the situation easy.

Regarding your game issues: i had that the last 2 times my nobara (fedora) updated, where Proton games suddendly used my CPU for rendering out of the blue, lagging out my system so hard i had to reboot. Keep an eye on CPU load; if it’s this reinstalling Mesa Vulkan probably fixes it. I’m running an NVIDIA card.

I fully agree. I am a user with a bit of technical background, but not a lot of detailled knowledge about the inner workings of an operating system (i know boolean logic and basic programming structures - in Pascal lol - from the 90’s, what a transistor does and stuff, how to build my own PCs and handle filesystems and troubleshooting).

With init scripts, i hit a wall pretty fast.

With Systemd i know how to start, stop and configure services, and the suite built around it uses the same conventions everywhere, making the everyday life with Linux for someone like me so much easier and more transparent than ever before.
