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.

Most things seem to run fine for me on linux, but sadly Elden Ring runs a good 10 fps slower than it ran on windows for me.

That is funny as hell. :D

Its for Civ 7. They were trying a new thing for that one, and it makes you change civilizations twice throughout the eras. It was a pretty unpopular choice, but honestly the UI was awful and the gameplay felt pretty half-assed as well.

Could be fun, I used to play TF2 quite a bit before they added hats and crates and stuff.

I kinda think there might just not be a lot of good looter-shooters out there. I remember looking for others to play and not having much success.

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?

That does look pretty fun, I’ll add it to my wishlist and see how it looks once its out of early access.

Nah, I agree 100%. I couldn’t get into DF after those UI changes. Doing anything felt to awkward and slow because I had to keep switching to the mouse.
