In this video I was using AMD, but not I have an Nvidia card and have not tested since 2022. Unfortunately as of now on Nvidia the game has a major Vram issue, I would recommend testing yourself on the latest Standard, Experimental or Glorious Eggrole release of Proton and maybe turn vram intensive settings down. You can find more info on the Proton DB page.

@@n0viewers409 yeah im trying to figure out whats going on. i see people on youtube play the game with no stutters. but here for me with Nvidia 2080ti on Arch the Vram instantly goes to 11gb as soon as the level loads and it stutters really badly unless I put the grpahics down to atleast High , then its somewhat fine, with occasional stutters still. Im wondering what exactly changed in the past 1-2 years to make it so bad? Or it was always like this for nvidia? Odd indeed

@@zeebpc Well I will say back when I did this video I had tested across multiple different distros and Mint was the only one that was mostly problem free. Unfortunately the fragmentation issue makes issues like this a lot harder to pin. If you find a solution or have any more questions then feel free to ask and I will help however I can!

I am sorry my friend the storms knocked my power out :(

@@n0viewers409 its fair

@@n0viewers409 its fair, it was prepare to cry for a reason

@@marvfia Lol true that. I will be streaming more over the next few days as I got some cool new games so I hope to see you there and hopefully the weather chills the hell out.

Nice to see you @marvfia! Yea it sure was a special experience, I am still loving it though I still have a crap ton to go.

@@n0viewers409 that is good

As for Dolby Atmos I do not know for sure but from what I have read I do not think it is, and for HDR it is currently being developed and is getting better and better as time passes!

@@n0viewers409 needed to wait, Atmos and HDR are very important for my set up, I can’t wait no longer, fuxk windows once n for all

No it doesn't support atmos and no it doesn't support HDR. You'd need to use KDE and gamescope for experimental support. So you'd be better with a better distro. Mint is not the best distro for gaming OOTB.

I am doing super well and a lot of that is to do with the fact that people have enjoyed this video, Your comment and story is wonderful and I thank you so much for sharing. I am going to do another Gaming in Linux Mint video very soon on the new release Mint 22 and I plan on testing not only more games but more launchers and scenarios. I hope to see you around again on a future video and feel free to share more stories, I love connecting to other Linux users!

I for sure can! I will respond to your comment once I have tested it :)

Alrighty, so on Linux Mint 22 I was able to install and run the game with no issues using the latest stable release of Proton. This version of course is 9.0-2. I hope this helps and if you have any more questions just let me know!

@@n0viewers409 Oh thank you for such a quick response. I had uninstalled it, but i've put it on download again after your response. So i'll make sure to update you very soon! I tried CoF on Pop_OS, and had problems. So I am still unsure if it'd work as well as you mentioned for Mint

@@n0viewers409 So after running it, there a couple of problems that I encountered. 1) The very first is that after running it for the first time it freezes my system. And if I select fullscreen mode, it messes up the my screen resolution even after quitting the game. However, this problem is easily fixed, I just have to select windowed mode at first, and once I am in the game, I can switch to fullscreen mode. 2) In the gameplay, If I dual wield, my character gets 3 hands XD. The flash of my mobile doesn't work. 3) The papers you get, which contains the password and ID for the computer to login, they don't "glow" as they should. These are just the first things I noticed before uninstalling it and then reinstalling it on windows, over there it works fine. (But it is just too much of hassle to play just one game on Windows). So, sadly, I don't play the game at all nowadays.

@@RAyLV17 To be totally honest Pop 22.04 at least for me has some issues, Mint 22 is actually pretty up to date now and Cinnamon the desktop environment is very well performing and smoother than most especially on my Nvidia Gpu. Let me know how it goes :) I may even make a video later today showcasing how to run the game with some gameplay. If you would like for me to test anything else assuming I have it in my library or it is free just let me know and I will check it out!

I am not sure but I will look into it and get back to you :)

you can install the other sound volume applet (enhanced sound applet and replace the original one, it has more options and 1 of them is increase sound by 1, 2, etc

@@dj__grizzly hey mate thank you for the reply, but I ended up using Mate and then installed dconf editor to adjust the vale. Thanks again though!

Ah, I think I may know how to fix your problem. Did you install the Flatpak of Steam or the system package? As far as the Sekiro I for sure recommend it for after you finish Bloodborne!

@@n0viewers409 I have tried both versions of steam and other launchers and it also doesn't detect on emulators too. I'm not sure if i'm missing a driver or something?

@@Saturn-OS That is very peculiar, are you using an Xbox controller? I know in some Distros you have to install something specific for an Xbox controller but with Playstation and Switch controllers in my experience you just have to go into Steams big picture mode and go to the controller section and enable steam input for said controller, if that does not work let me know and I will help you troubleshoot further!

@@n0viewers409 I haven't use Linux mint in a while but thinking about it might have only been a problem with games on heroic launcher and emulators mainly with a Xbox and PlayStation controllers. Sorry about that.

@@Saturn-OS Oh your fine don't worry about it, I offer help to anyone who may need it when it comes to Linux on my videos. It is pretty cool that we live in a world where Linux is as good as it is with far less issues than before.

Oh don't you worry, I am saving that and much more for Part 2!

i bought the command & conquer/ red alert collection a while ago (13 games), now that i am on linux mint (cinnamon) i tested most of them with steam, they all work when 'proton 8.05" is selected (experimental gives wrong resolution on 4k tv). Only thing i haven't figured out yet is how to use another ssd for the games, they install but don't work even when the drive was formatted in ext4 but if i move them to my (smaller) linux home drive they work just fine.

It's like one of those things in my brain I cannot reprogram lol but I will keep that in mind :)

Trust me I feel that pain to, unfortunately it is just a side effect of switching :( I will say however there is no shame in having a Windows drive accessible for those situations no matter how frustrating it may be to have to keep it around. Setting up Gpu Pass through is something a lot of people do to VM Windows with hardware acceleration however that still can cause some issues with anti cheat. I would recommend if you keep a secondary drive with Windows to at least try and mitigate some of the telemetry and limit its access to your online accounts. For instance if you download Windows 11 from Microsoft's website and I mean the ISO specifically and throw in on a Ventoy bootable drive then once you install the OS and make it to the setup portion there is an option if your not connected to Ethernet to "Continue without internet" or something like that. That feature is locked out of Media Creation Tool Created USB's as well as A lot of the PC's you may buy from the store, creating a local account is a great first step into lessening the clutches that Microsoft has around the user!

Thank you as well :)

That is great to hear! Honestly there has not been a single game in my library that I play that has not working flawlessly in MINT! The age of Linux and Gaming is upon us...

Honestly Linux Mint in my opinion is the closest to the good ole days of Windows, Zorin also exists and it's selling point is that it looks like windows. There are tutorials online for how to install older versions of Photo Shop using Wine and I believe you could do that in whatever Linux Distro you choose :) Gaming in Linux is easier than ever, steam and other launchers use Wine and Proton out of the box so its usually as simple as setting the proton version in the games properties and clicking install. You can also use Lutris and it automates a lot of the process especially for older games. For instance recently Resident Evil came out on GOG and I install it through Lutris! If you have any more questions feel free to ask :)

If you want to skin Linux to look like Win 7, that's possible. I wouldn't recommend this per se, but a debian based distro called Q4OS has some interesting classic Windows looking themes available in a pack called XPQ4 (on sourceforge). I haven't tried using Q4OS for gaming though.

You know what, I am not 100 percent sure off the top of my head and I am about to have to run some errands but I will check it out on my personal rig for you when I get back and respond once again with a legitimate answer. I am sorry I can't do it right this second but I promise I will in just a little while!

HI! Sorry for the late response but I have a clear answer for you now. Half Life one should be as simple as clicking the install button to play as it has a native release that seems to have positive feedback on ProtonDB, if you have any issues you can simply click the properties button on the game in your steam library and go to the compatibility tab to force proton 9. As for Overwatch 2 you can seemingly play it just as easily with no tweaking other than forcing proton 9 in the games properties and compatibility tab :)

Mint at the moment uses Ext4! As far as I know unless you manually set all partitions it will only install as Ext4 unless you select the specialized options and choose ZFS :)

@@n0viewers409 And you made a standard ext4 install?

@@e002840 So the way I installed the OS was a made a boot drive with Ventoy in WIndows 11. I downloaded the latest Linux Mint Cinnamon ISO the non Edge version and dragged it onto my newly created Ventoy drive (btw Ventoy install without Secure Boot support). I then restarted my PC of course with Secure Boot and Fast Boot disabled as well as Virtualization turned off, this is all just personal preference of course. I then booted into Linux mint and went through the standardized installer, once you get to the install section it will just have an option to clean install with no advanced options, this created 2 partitions one being for boot and the other being the ext4 partition which is the entire root partition where you OS and all of your data will go. After that I just did all of the expected things from making a username and password. Once the instillation was done I rebooted, now note and this may not be the case for you, but for me on my Nvidia 4060ti the pc will freeze when you restart after installing, all you have to do if this happens to you is just hard reset your pc. I always just hold the power button down which is not something I would recommend in most situations but at this rate the disk you installed to is no longer being written to and the OS is supposed to tell you to remove the install medium and reboot anyway. Sorry I hope this helped, like I said before you can select ZFS in the advanced options when installing or you can manually create partitions if you want more control over what type of partitions you are creating or for example want to separate your home and root partitions amongst other things :)

@@n0viewers409 Thank you so much for the info

@@e002840 Absolutely no problem, I wish you much joy on your Linux adventure!

Lol listening back to it hit me in the face like another non busy hand swinging back at me.

Lol, I have this habbit of rambling and saying silly things.

I could not have said it better myself, this is also why I hate Windows. Not to go off on a tangent but I am very passionate about this, functionality wise I like Windows 11 and if it was Open Source and made by a team with our best interests in mind then maybe things would be different. You could install literally any Linux distro from the ones maintained by companies with crap tons of support like Ubuntu or community maintained Distros that out of the box do not collect telemetry on you and even if they did there would always be a way to completely disable or remove it thanks to this great community. I hate being spied as much as the next person, I mean people give Ubuntu a lot of flack because they have Opt Out telemetry but honestly I would take having to click no one time over having to run scripts to sought out as much telemetry as possible in Windows 11. Another thing I love about Linux is that you install it and 9 out of ten times even on my Nvidia system I do not have to seek out drivers or download a crap ton of exes to install all of my apps, everything is centralized and beautifully functional... hey remember when you used to be able to move the Taskbar back in Windows 10 lol. That alone as a feature removed from Windows 11 is already a sign of the gross control Microsoft has over it's users. I do not want to come across like a Linux elitist or a know it all, if you like using Windows or NEED to use Windows I totally get it, I am in the same boat to some extent. I do believe despite all stated above that everybody has a right, a need even to understand what is really going on with Windows so that they can make an informed decision about what software they want to install on their machines :)

I totally agree, I am super excited for Mint 22! Mint has everything someone could need in an OS with no BS. Ubuntu has a more up to date kernel at the moment but when 22 drops Mint will finally be caught up!

It's not really light compared to other distros But very light compared to Windows, indeed.

@@VirtualizerExtreme I believe Mint is fairly light compared to some of the bigger bloated Distros of which there are many... of course if a new user chooses in the Distros that support it to install all the packages they may want instead of just the ones they need for basic functionality then it will bloat things up as well though still far less than Windows.

@@VirtualizerExtreme yeah I compared it to other Ubuntu based distro's and windows

I could not agree more, I have been using linux since I was 13 and have seen it go from almost totally incompatible to installable on every machine in my house. I am 25 now and I have spent so much time with Linux that life feels odd without it. Linux Mint 22 seems like it will be really cool and I am hoping that by the time the Nvidia Driver 560 comes out in Linux and we are being directed towards the open source driver than Wayland on most distros will be totally ready for the limelight on Nvidia GPUS.

Since Ubuntu 14.04 Linux has come along way in about 10 years. I use Linux mint xfce as my daily driver in my late 2012 Mac mini. I have an external ssd for my Mac OS 14.5 Sonoma. Arch is unstable I’ve crashed every distro I’ve tried. Debian is more stable but has issues almost every distro stable or testing branch. So I will never leave Linux mint!!

It is amazing how much progress has been made in recent memory with Valves Wine forks, it is an amazing time we live in!

Valve's such a based company

@@allgamebeija Exactly, things would be totally different had they not put so much into gaming on Linux!

Thank you Aevial, my mother in law gave it to me on the 4th of July. Let me know when you will be around if at all during the day and I will stream some more stuff! Hope to see you soon :)

yeah hoping to catch a stream! its 1am for me rn so gotta go to bed, and ill probably only wake up after 9 or 10 hours which i think is a bit late for you, but what do i know. Goodnight.

@@Aevial Lol I was up pretty late last night so if I'm still up into the morning like usual then I hope to see you, even if not I could get on way before 1am your time at least. I hope you have a wonderful night my friend.

Absolutely, I will vote this year no matter what!

​@@n0viewers409 Good 👍 take care...

@@butterflyblue7761 You as well!

Lol don't worry I did not make much progress, im pretty bad at Re2 and most definitely still plan on playing the GOG release, my schedule is a little wacked out but if I am up around the time you are or if you are free at any point throughout the day as I just woke up then hit me up and I could stream some more :)

I am so glad it helped you! That was all I ever wanted for this channel when I started it, I wanted it to be a place where people could easily find a way to play the games they love in Linux. If you ever have any questions feel free to comment and I will help in whatever way I can :)

I am so glad it helped :)

The only thing you should be worried about is the state of our relationship because you did not do this to my chest.

Stop whining bro and use Mimic tear, don't you dare practice in spurts a little every day building up until you learn the boss and lastly but not least don't you dare beat the second count that the SECOND boss in this very difficult not fun DLC when everything past this boss is arguably much more difficult but just ask a friend of mine Cindy they can tell you all about this guy names Mesmer 🙄
