Hello Linux Gaming friends :)
I’ve been tinkering on and off with my wife’s laptop (Mint 22) to get a few of her games working on Linux, namely House Flipper 2. It experiences frequent OS crashes, despite everything saying that this game should work on Linux (hell, it’s even Steam Deck verified).
I’m not necessarily asking how to make this particular game run, but in my tinkering with different Proton versions I find myself asking: what is the difference between these versions of Proton? Why do some work better than others? How does one version work, say Hotfix or Experimental, but not a numbered release?
Just trying to learn to add some knowledge to my toolbelt, or whatever 😅. Thanks!
Yea. When I still had a PC with NVidia, game crash could make the entire system unresponsive. Had to hard reset, because even other TTYs were unaccessible.
And unfortunately, the wife’s laptop has Nvidia. So far it’s played nice with everything she likes to play on her laptop, but HF2 (the one game she reeeeeally wants to play, of course) is giving us trouble.
