Steam wouldn’t start with that, apparently I’m missing some UI & pipewire libraries. Probably safer for me to keep using steams runtimes anyway.

I just grepped the log for gperftools and came up with nothing.

I installed via apt, so should be fine. Oh well!

Weirdly enough, it did work that time, but froze the game when I tried to exit. I tried another time and it didn’t run the game and gave some errors like:

[___](ERROR: ld.so: object '/REDACTED/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
)

and

Initializing steam
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 462770
free(): invalid pointer

and then a long stacktrace. No idea what it means.

It sounds like they only ate less for 5 days of the month though, and felt better over the whole month. I wouldn’t have expected that at least, so kinda interesting?

I get a lot of weird audio issues in linux too. I don’t remember having those issues in linux when I was younger, but I’m often getting weird audio artifacts when playing games on Mint.

Its been a while since I’ve used it, and I don’t remember it being great, but more than enough to convert a SVG into a PDF reliably.

They work great in combination. I used to generate report pages by generating SVG with ruby scripts and then convert to PDF with inkscape and then use pdftk to assemble the pages and add stamps where needed. :)

Was just generally annoyed at microsoft, but couldn’t leave because I play a lot of PC games. Then I found out these days gaming works relatively okay in linux so I switched.

I’ll pick Godot as well. Started using it recently and its been a pretty smooth learning experience.

Great, glad to hear that Mint will be okay. I don’t mind the slower kernel/driver updates. :)

2 quick followup questions:

1. Should I set my filesystems to something other than ext4? I know some games in windows I feel like would benefit from a faster filesystem, but I don’t know a whole lot about it.
2. If I upgrade my videocard (I’m using a NVidia GTX something something), would it be better to go for an AMD card? Do they have better linux driver support?
