      very impressed with linux gaming now

      my last try was 10+ years ago

      games are literally running better on my (getting) tired desktop, and I play Grim Fandango on a Ryzen 3 laptop with 4Gb Ram which could barely boot windoze

        I play Grim Fandango on a Ryzen 3 laptop with 4Gb Ram

        Grim Fandango Remastered, right? 'Cause it’s not exactly impressive if its the original, give-or-take WINE maintaining compatibility with old Win9x libraries…

        I’ve been meaning to get around to playing that game for almost 30 years, and the remastered version for 10.

        With bony hands I hold my partner,
        on soulless feet we cross the floor,
        the music stops as if to answer,
        an empty knocking at the door.

        Not only games, but programs too. Ive been able to find exactly what ive looked for, or something just as good for now pretty much all the time.

        And yeah games are running better than on my win10 pc.

        Which card? There’s a few distros that handle installing the drivers for you (Nobara and Bazzite spring to mind)

        If it’s an issue of outdated hardware it can be tricky but doable. I have an old Thinkpad with an Nvidia Quadro K2000 that I got working with MX Linux without too much hassle
