    Hi, I installed PopOs and it’s not very beginner friendly, or at least not to the extent that I’m used. I have already spent around 12 hours configuring settings, learning to make enough partitions, etc. Most hours ha e been trying to know why Guild wars2 was laggy as hell, and I finally discovered I had to configure the UEFI (Bios?) in an obscure parameter so my graphic card (nvidia) was detected.
    Now it’s in a loop of ‘building vulkan shaders’ or something like that, it takes hours.
    Honestly, I thought this process was going yo be easier, I have used so many terminal commands that I feel I’m in the old days of MsDos.

      @LemmyRefugee @DaTingGoBrrr Using Linux for gaming is harder then using it for coding or web-browsing 🌐.

      Especially if you run closed source games like Guildwars 🎮. In my experience open source games like minetest or supertux run better.

      Building vulkan shaders seems familiar: Do you use steam?

        Yes! I am using Steam to install the two games I play. Maybe I’ll have to try Linux Mint, PopOs is not very user friendly or at least not what I’m used to.
