Anecdotal and likely not very helpful, when I was running a laptop with a 2060, I regularly had freezing issues launching steam, that would freeze the entire desktop on whichever I display I launched it on for anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute. The same issue occurred across multiple Linux distros running multiple Nvidia proprietary driver versions.
I built a desktop with an AMD GPU to solve the problem and it worked. I really wish I could give you something better than that.
This is the real answer. In this day and age where a 16gb USB stick can be had for literally $5usd on Amazon, it would be silly not to have a few kicking around. I don’t think any Linux distro live environment media requires more than 16gb, and it’s more than enough for updating a bios. I even used one to update the infotainment system in my vehicle last week. Kind of a necessary tool.
Oh yeah sure let’s just have two games that are almost identical, split the efforts of the devs into maintaining them both and releasing consistent updates, split the efforts of the server administrators into maintaining them both, and detract from your concurrent player base from our new game to keep our old game on life support.
Yall are some crybabies. CS:GO was alive for 10 years, CS2 has been out for 1. It took some time to re-work Dust 2 and add it back into the map pool. I miss agency, I miss cache, but those maps are being reworked and added in over time. It’s a long game scenario here. Give it time and enjoy the free to play game that they sunk a shitload of resources into dramatically improving, that they are going to maintain for at least another decade, just like the last game.
It’s a new engine, all maps have had to be reworked, even the official maps. Most games with mods even break those mods with small routine updates. So no, CS:GO is gone, and so is all of its content. There are plenty of new maps and training routines in the CS2 workshop.
Yeah, I’ve considered VR for a long while, but between the already existing headaches, and the Linux related headaches I’ve heard of, I’ll just wait until I’m retired for VR space games, VR racing, and VR porn. Hopefully it’ll get better before I’m dead.
Everything people are saying here checks out, but you might struggle with VR. I haven’t tried VR on Linux yet, but I’ve heard some things about support being pretty janky. Maybe others with experience can weigh in.
This is entirely plausible, but I don’t know if it’s there yet. I’ve long since moved to AMD GPUs so I can’t really fiddle and find out. Give the open source drivers some time to mature.
Until then, you are reasonably safe running Linux with secure boot turned off. I’m no expert on the matter, but I’m not familiar with any ongoing threats to boot loader in Linux distributions. Stick to your official repos to be safest, unverified user maintained sources like AUR and COPR are possibly more likely to harbor security threats, don’t use them if you don’t need to or don’t know what you’re doing. Password your bios and require a password to log in to your operating system. Common sense is a better defense than secure boot.

You make it sound like they have a choice in the matter. They don’t.
Clearly you don’t understand any fucking thing about the topic. SUSE, the IT corporation from which openSUSE derives its name, has a similar relationship to that of Redhat and Fedora. They aren’t shooting themselves in the foot, their benefactor wants them to rebrand so that openSUSE isn’t branded the same as the IT product that SUSE sells.
Chameleons are masters of camouflage, Camo Linux?
They hiss when they’re pissed. Hiss Linux? SSSSSlinux? What about Prehensiletongix?

Forgotten weapons will be fine, someone just sensationalized. Shocker. Read the policy for yourself. YouTube is disallowing certain content related to selling or altering firearms. Like, installing bump stocks or binary triggers. Muh Hickok 45 and the like will be just fine.
I said “everything but” meaning roasting your meat on a stick is the only thing I saw here that looks original.
I went to steam page and watched the video. I’m sorry if you don’t like hearing the criticism, but the gameplay, animal behavior, the visuals, everything but roasting your meat on a stick looks like a blatant copy. Come on man, you know what you did here.
You spent your savings to remake The Long Dark, neat.
Love it when people speak with authority and are confidently incorrect. Eugenia is right.
You could potentially use flatseal to grant the flatpak the necessary permissions, and you might find out what those permissions are by looking for other users experiences with the flatpak version.
Or, you find the .deb file and it installs natively without being sandboxed. OR, you can find a PPA repository for it, load said repository and install your software.
But those things require learning a little. Linux rewards self starters who can use a search engine and forums. Hope this maybe points you in the right direction.
I would recommend Linux Mint. Yes it’s faster to update than Debian, but it doesn’t push the envelope nearly as fast as Fedora or Arch based distros.
Linux mint is just super easy, user friendly, you could use Mint without ever touching a terminal if you wanted. BSD would be a great pet project to fiddle with, but if you’re looking for a rock solid backup machine with zero fuss, Mint is perfect for that.
I guess the takeaway for me is despite making some strides in last couple years nvidia is still just kinda janky on Linux. Good luck getting to the bottom of it.
