I pirate because i stopped giving a shit.

We are not the same.

do you transport said hardrive via yellow bag too while leaping majestically over rooftops?

Retire?

Ha, good one

easy

i asked them about a legacy option and their answer boiled down to a somewhat condescending “tough shit, get used to it”

This thread made me look at it and see the newer driver

Is there an amd card/PC youd consider an equivalent or upgrade?

i switched to 550 yesterday, it was 535 before that

i didnt exactly stress test with a couple dozen games, the one game i tried had the same error message as before

idk man, mints driver manager do be saying nvidia is recommended

but besides that, i tried asking for an equivalent card on lemmy once, ill leave it at: im not inclined to try again

henceforth, if amd, prebuilt only

and regarding driver and kernel version, the moment i have to fiddle with either to get something working to the extent you are describing, im burning my pc

ngl, id rather stick with what is recommended before i go through hundreds of slightly differently named drivers

for linux mint, i do the suggested driver (probably not the latest)

for others like endeavouros it was always the latest nvidia driver

i dont think i ever needed the extra ram anyway since i put it in, will remove them real quick

thank you for your own detailed response

when i say didnt work, it usually means two things, it either:

1. didnt launch at all, no window, no nothing no error message

2. window does open and it shows a error message/only shows an error message

yee, 16gb is plenty enough as it is anyway

having differently sized ram sounded like something so trivial and inconsequential of a thing it didnt exactly cross my mind that it would problems to begin with

and some games do work so it isnt consistent enough of a thing to be noticed to me

im also not a computer wiz grandmaster

i tried nobara, i dont remember why but for one reason or another the install was kinda borked

i tried it once actually, i dont know what it was but it never really stuck with me, probably cause of gnome

i do love my “old school” menu bar

if a bit more ram (and no other hardware changes) actually causes so much issues with gaming, is it really a me problem?

that just sound like a rather trivial change

if you say that its truly that funky, i can remove the extra ram and make it a simple and ncie 16gb

protondb is showing if it works at all yes, btu it also has a bunch of epople and possible tweaks showing it

neither protondb own ratings nor these tweaks did much to make any of the games i tried work (i dont recall any of them being native to linux)

my rig is a pretty common stock build (minus the increased ram)

so if it isnt a hardware issue, and i dont tinker with system files, or any funky stuff like that

why would it be a “me” issues?
