I didn't know the original game was remade. I assumed you meant layers of fear 2 because the original layers of fear wasn't even on Unreal Engine and Layers of fear 2 is on UE4. Nothing I said was explicitly wrong. It was wrong in the context only because you weren't precise with what you're saying.

And how nice of you to pick out the one thing I was wrong on while completely ignoring all the other examples. For instance how the fuck can you put Subnautica 2 on that list when it's not even in early access?

I'm guessing it's pretty hard when you're a has been and are desperate for any publicity.

Well that's a pretty shit list. You have there games that aren't using UE5 (Layers of Fear 2), that are known to have poor performance (STALKER 2), that just released into early access (Inzoi) and that haven't even released into early access (Subnautica 2).

I'd throw half the list out the window, actually probably more because the other half of the list are mostly games I don't know enough to evaluate their performance.

While I don't have an issue taking a dump on Bethesda this time the issue is either with Nvidia or Epic. The 50 series has been a shit show and wouldn't be surprised if the flagship model somehow preforms worse than last Gen cards. And UE5 is also a shit show. Games made with UE5 look like blurry shits unless you buy a $1000+ top of the line GPU because it's also a massive performance hog. If you're playing a game that looks like shit and runs like shit, it's probably using UE5.

They literally did more than just upscale some textures.

I'm terms of working hours it could get better. You might end up doing 0 hours a week, because you'll be unemployed.

https://discuss.getsol.us/d/4899-let-s-talk-about-the-lts-kernels

lts kernels should not be used with newer hardware… because they don’t have modern software support, anyone that uses modern hardware risks being unable to boot with them. I shouldn’t have said crashes but the issues are numerous.

So you don't have stats you have anecdotal evidence.

The second thing doesn’t require a source, they don’t have the manpower to implement it in cinnamon, look at the github pulse: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/pulse

It clearly requires a source because Cinnamon 6.0 has Wayland as an experimental support and Mint team has said they are planning to eventually move to Wayland.

https://wiki.debian.org/Wayland debian, notorious for being the most stable distro by far already uses it by default…

For Gnome. You've been pretty much talking about KDE (unless you're now magically going to do a 180 and start saying how Windows users would have a better time learning GNOME), which if you bothered to actually check what you're saying would have noticed the

however you are recommended to read the detailed wiki section for KDE on Wayland, especially if you are using an NVIDIA GPU.

Clearly implying you should expect running into issues.

i have only used industry standard terminology and what I said is straightforward…

Somehow the things you say are straight-forward seem to be nothing but.

kernel has drivers, old kernel no has new drivers, new drivers needed for hardware support, lts kernel old.

In theory. Except in practice we're not talking about kernels that are 5+ years old. Latest Mint version is running on Ubuntu Noble which is using Kernel version 6.8 which supports all the latest CPU-s and GPU-s. Just because it's not using the very latest kernel version doesn't mean it's not capable of supporting the latest hardware.

They can crash more frequently.

Where are your stats for this.

and the reason mint stays on x11 has NOTHING to do with this

source?

stable distros have worse support out of the box because they use an older kernel version and the kernel ships the drivers.

At this point I don't even know what that means because maybe you have some other weird definition to pull out of your ass. Give me that in 5th grader level.

Mint focuses on ~~stability~~ reliability as evident from its decision to use Ubuntu LTS versions as it’s base. In case I need to spell it out, LTS versions are generally more reliable.

And you brought up X11 as a negative, but there’s a good reason Mint is staying on X11. Yes, Wayland is the future and eventually Mint will adopt Wayland as well, when Wayland becomes more ~~stable~~ reliable. I’m the mean time Mint stays on X11 because X11 is very ~~stable~~ reliable, extremely ~~stable~~ reliable compared to Wayland if you have an Nvidia card.

Mint also has better out the box support. For example to my knowledge for Nvidia Fedora comes with Nouvuea drivers which means for gaming you need to go through an extra process to get proprietary drivers. Mint has out the box support for Nvidia drivers. This is less of a thing when compared to Bazzite, but still a reason why to pick Mint as a beginner distro.

FTFY you little grammar nazi.

From your own article

Or, the fact that the same term is understood in two different and sometimes conflicting ways may indicate that the term is not an ideal one in the first place.

I'm sorry that English is not my first language and I'm not aware of the subtle difference in meaning you're after, but really all you've proven is that you're a pedantic little troll who understood what I said and still chose to be obtuse about it. Another example how of this discussion is a waste of time.

Okay, this has turned into a complete waste of time. It's impossible to talk to a person who makes up their own definition for words and demands proof of something most of the Linux community is in agreement. You're the Linux equivalent of a flat earther.

The arguments are super simple.

Mint focuses on stability as evident from its decision to use Ubuntu LTS versions as it's base. In case I need to spell it out, LTS versions are generally more stable and reliable.

And you brought up X11 as a negative, but there's a good reason Mint is staying on X11. Yes, Wayland is the future and eventually Mint will adopt Wayland as well, when Wayland becomes more stable. I'm the mean time Mint stays on X11 because X11 is very stable, extremely stable compared to Wayland if you have an Nvidia card.

Mint also has better out the box support. For example to my knowledge for Nvidia Fedora comes with Nouvuea drivers which means for gaming you need to go through an extra process to get proprietary drivers. Mint has out the box support for Nvidia drivers. This is less of a thing when compared to Bazzite, but still a reason why to pick Mint as a beginner distro.

And the reason people recommend Mint is in those first two points. Mint deliberately sacrifices fancy bells and whistles to be as stable as possible. You not knowing that shows how little you know about Mint.
