Honestly, this is 100% the solution for this problem, especially for sharing with a child.

Now, the issue of having a “license” and rights to play a game, vs actually owning the game is still a valid point of contention.

The reasoning I moved from Windows to Linux was this right here.

If I’m going to be fighting with Windows anyway, because of the registry giving me issues, then the drawback of “but Linux hard! You have to configure things!” was moot.

“Don’t you know who I am?!”

“Yeah, the guy who was going to be my boss starting next week. Goodbye, don’t call back.”

I got divorced from a 10+ year relationship in my late 20s, and then had a nasty, bad breakup from my first relationship after at 30. I had a small group of friends that stuck around, but lost many in the process of each breakup.

I never really kept in touch with people from highschool and earlier, though, so I can’t comment on them

Things do get better. At 35 I’m now in a better relationship than I ever had before. I have new friends and new circles. A new chapter in my life was started, and things are better than they ever have been before.

I don’t know if this will work for you, maybe it doesn’t work out sometimes. But guys can, and do, recover from it.

It is how vets work. Just call a different vet and ask them if it sounds extreme. They might not have a definitive answer without having seen your cat in person, but will still know better than a bunch of randos on the internet!

Ventrilo would like a word as well

If you were a non-steam gamer you’d have a little extra work cut out for you, but steam literally runs natively

You realize the comment you are replying to does not actually support acting that way, but is ridiculing people who actually hold that viewpoint, right?

.Hack//Infection did a great job simulating an MMO for its time

Until this comment, I legit thought they meant “is Hunt: Showdown ready or not on Linux”. I wish putting quotes or using italics on titles was more common

For two and three, even if there weren’t a genetic component, the lifestyle and dietary habits of a family absolutely do impact the next generation of the family. Learned behaviors that increase the risk of alcoholism or heart disease absolutely count as “runs in the family”. Further, “runs in the family” never meant “everyone in the family absolutely has it”.

(None of this directed to the comment I’m replying to, just continuing the thought of the comment.)

Or the third option of they recognize that scientifically Pluto is a dwarf planet and no longer a ‘full’ planet, but they also anthropomorphize everything to an unhealthy degree and don’t want to hurt the feelings of Pluto by saying it isn’t a planet anymore

Robin Hood being my favorite Disney movie from my childhood, I did indeed know that! I liked the song before I ever saw the Hampater Dance, so it was a shock to me seeing it the first time

But the plant it came from is.

Christians are also saying that the spliced plant is the same as the donor plant, but the donor plant isn’t different retroactively, and they recognize the donor plant as well.

In the same way that a splice off of a plant isn’t the same plant… The plant it was spliced off of is the same plant, though.

Isn’t it missing 6?

Try uninstalling Steam (or keeping track of which one was already installed), and trying one of these methods. It was over a year ago I last did this, so I don’t 100% remember which version I ended up using but believe it was the Flatpak version that worked best.

For graphics drivers updating, MintOS has a GUI interface for managing drivers which is actually pretty nice. Try searching for Driver Manager in your system utilities. Other than that, you can manually download official AMD drivers from them directly here. I’d recommend looking into that process for Linux a little more before going that route, as there are a few CLI commands you’ll have to use.

As for updating anything, yes it will mostly be done the same way you installed in the first place if you used the CLI. Try the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Which version of Steam did you install? I think that’s a quirky one where the Flatpak version works better in some cases, but check out the native if you’re already running the Flatpak version (there are pros and cons to each).

9070 XT is new enough that driver issues aren’t surprising. Periodically check in for updates drivers, more than you would usually.

I recently played through Cyberpunk without any compatibility layers and it worked flawlessly, and I’ve played Hitman:WoA (I know a different game/version, but closest I had) using only the Proton compatibility. (It runs native, but has some menu issues.)

I bring these up because I was running into similar issues as yours at first when I switched to Linux, and it was all caused by the Steam version I had installed. I switched that, and everything else fell into place.

Best of luck!
