    Tried again last weekend to install and play “Strange Antiquities” on linux mint. Again - as expected - shit wouldn’t work.

    Linux people say their shitty software works, but it actually doesn’t. And they’re to antisocial to come together and work united on 1 distro and 1 distro only to make it better for everyone.

      Skimmed your history to see if there was any indication of what your hardware/setup was. Slim on details beyond “Linux mint with an old/underpowered CPU”, but I happen to have a Linux Mint machine with an astonishingly bad CPU (Pentium Gold 4425Y, 2 cores, 1.7GHz) and only 4GB of RAM, so I decided to give it a spin.

      Downloaded the demo from steam, changed nothing, hit play, game launched just fine and got to the main menu, but crashed to desktop trying to actually start the game. Tried a bit of tinkering, no dice.

      Did run just fine with no tinkering on two other more powerful machines though.

      Huh? Game works fine on my Steam Deck and my Bazzite laptop. Using regular Proton without having to change anything.

      Can’t wrap your head around multiple specialized distros existing, or what’s the issue?

      Strange, it’s verified on steam so it should work with no problem, did you try forcing compatibility tools in game properties?
