I've already explained it several times. Halo Infinite was one case where the game plain wouldn't work, factorio experienced crashes, ece.You could do the same, especially since there are now two people saying they think that info is not right.
I haven't had any problems with Mint, at all. I'm running the second to latest version, Mint 21. I've only been lazy not updating to 22. To be fair the last time I ran Steam on Linux was with Mint 20, so it's been a hot minute, but I had no issues. Everything in my game library that was listed as playable in the SteamDeck compatibility list ran fine on my install of Mint.
So what problem are we talking about with the MESA drivers? Granted, I was using an NVidia card so the MESA drivers weren't a factor I don't think. Found the following discussion over in the Steam forums from Dec of last year;
The general consensus seems to be that the latest versions of Mint and thus MESA are fine for Steam gaming on Linux Mint.Linux Mint Mesa Updates :: Steam for Linux General Discussions
Hey. When do the Mesa drivers update on Linux Mint? I'm on Linux Mint 21.2 Kernel 5.15.0-89, Ubuntu 22.04.1 and Mesa 23.0.4. Searching the Mesa website the latest is 23.3.0. So is it as Linux Mint updates it's Kernel, sooner or later it'll reach 23.3.0 for Mesa driver updates? I've read you can...steamcommunity.com
I also stated several times that this is an AMD/Intel issue, since Nvidias proprietary drivers do not rely on MESA and kernel updates to function. I ALSO stated that the newest version of Ubuntu issues witching to newer kernel and MESA releases moving forward so this issue may be resolved in the future. I did update both my kernel and MESA on mint, but they proved to be unstable, which was not the case on manjaro.
The real issue, it turns out, is that people DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS, they just react.
"I don't have problems therefore they don't exist" is IMO a poisonous attitude. These issues do exist, you can go to forums for different distros and read the complaints, or forums for proton. If it doesn't happen for you, I'm glad, enjoy your software! But let's not downplay others who have found these problems and found solutions.I've not seen any evidence of that. Mint runs perfectly on 12th, 13th and 14gen Intel and all gens of Ryzen using IGPs. No issues. It's just never been a problem, and many who know me well enough to know I would call it out if there was problems.
It depends on the device. Most are good, if they are mainstream devices with known hardware. Smaller vendors can use oddball supplies that are not well supported.Really? I find modern touchpads on Linux to be almost on par with macbooks, and way better than what's available on Windows. Libinput has really managed to achieve awesome results.
And I do say that as someone who has both a MBP and full-time linux devices.
It should be enabled by default with libinput.
Same thing can happen to wifi. Had that happen to me on my thinn 15 that used a wonky usb-nvme converter that meant that wireless did NOT work on Linux, unless it felt like it.
