overview for Oinks

[SOLVED]Can't get a singe game to run on Mint or POP in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Try launching Steam from the terminal so you have a chance at seeing an actual error message, at least for the crashing games.

It might be the kernel as the other comment says since the 9070 is pretty new. If it works without issues on something like Fedora or OpenSUSE TW then that was probably the issue.

Does this exist anywhere outside of C++? in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

I am very sorry to remind everyone about the existence of Visual Basic, but it has:

VbCrLf
VbNewLine
ControlChars.CrLf
ControlChars.NewLine
Environment.NewLine
Chr(13) & Chr(10)

And I know what you're asking: Yes, of course all of them have subtly different behavior, and some of them only work in VB.NET and not in classic VB or VBA.

The only thing you can rely on is that "\r\n" doesn't work.

It depends a lot on which specific GPU you have and whether it's a laptop.

New-ish GPU in a desktop with the monitor plugged directly into the GPU? Easy to get working, literally a checkbox on most distros.

1000 series GPU or older in a laptop and you need reasonable battery life and/or some "advanced" features like DP Alt-Mode? Good luck.

Edit: Also, no Wayland until very recently. Possibly never, depending on the age of the GPU.
