  • Pretty good for me with Mint. Mostly audio annoyances and window manager annoyances. I hated cinnamon because it leaks memory like mad and needs to be restarted often. Now I’m using Mate, but it seems to have a lot of annoying quirks of its own.

    Also I found that the compositor really messes with the performance of gaming, so I needed to turn it off which was a bit of a pain to figure out.

    Other than that, everything has been fine, but I used to use Linux a lot 20 years ago so the transition wasn’t too bad for me.





  • Weirdly enough, it did work that time, but froze the game when I tried to exit. I tried another time and it didn’t run the game and gave some errors like:

    [___](ERROR: ld.so: object '/REDACTED/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
    )
    
    

    and

    Initializing steam
    Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 462770
    free(): invalid pointer
    

    and then a long stacktrace. No idea what it means.
