  • To me, it has to be Gordon Freeman. He represents Valve, and I can’t think of a gaming company more linked to PC gaming than Valve.

    I adore king’s quest, space quest and all these classics. Same with Monkey Island, but when it comes to… Well, mascot sounds wrong. Figurehead may be better here, I think Gordon’s ties to Valve gives him a pretty strong case for PC gaming icon.

    The goose from untitled goose game doesn’t feel like a PC gaming mascot to me since it’s a single game that’s also on almost every console.




  • Maybe it’s cuz I’m not a native speaker, but I don’t see it as an implication that Israel has the right to do that. More that it’s a foregone conclusion that they’re GOING to do that because they’re horrible.

    If anything, I read it as someone who agrees that Israel fucking sucks, but misses the point of the message itself, which can happen from time to time.



  • That’s a bit reductive, don’t you think?

    The beauty of Linux is its wonderful ability to be customized. Maybe Xanmod is a good kernel for you if you play games?

    Maybe if you use a desktop environment with Wayland, you’ll have less issues with screen sharing in Discord.

    It’s always nice to hear what other people’s experiences are. Depending on the distro, updating drivers can be a bit trickier than noobs might expect since “Driver manager” might not actually have the newest drivers, etc.

    Telling people to RTFM is all well and good, but why not share the stuff you’ve learned with others who are just getting started?




  • **I appreciate the help immensely. ** First thing I needed to do was figure out how to get grub to show, and to do that, I changed a file in /etc/default/grub to have the menu style be “menu” instead of “hidden”.

    Second I tried adding the nvidia_drm.fbdev=0, but it would boot directly into the default version of Mint (x11). I then had to disable auto-login in the lightdm.conf found in /etc/lightdm/

    After that, I finally booted into Wayland again after adding the temporary parameters and… I get a black screen again, sadly. At least the TTY works so I can get out, no problem.

    I did a bunch more tinkering that I found online, but after a lot of trying and failing and trying and failing, I went back to x11, only to realize that the driver manager was well and truly messed up. Could not get it to start at all. Ended up feeling pretty happy I took a snapshot of the system before I started all this, cause I could just rollback everything and now it works like before. (Still no wayland though, but whatever :P )
