- myself248 7y agoI need to give Mint a try. I recently built a Ryzen box specifically for gaming (my first gaming-centric build ever, and my first PC build in a decade, talk about future shock!), and installed Ubuntu on it. Steam works well enough but Cities:Skylines crashes when I fullscreen it, and there are cryptic error messages about video memory allocation failures. I got bogged down trying to install new Mesa libraries and just resigned myself to playing windowed, until such time as folks with more skills fix the mainline and I can just upgrade to it. For some reason it never occurred to me to try a different distro. Mint might be in my future!
- arminiusreturns 7y agoMaybe also consider Manjaro. The hardware detector works extremely well.
