Depends on what you are playing, but gaming in Linux has come a long way. Some games won’t work due to companies not enabling their (rootkit) “anti-cheats” for Linux, but other than that, there’s more and more games that simply work by the day. Check out https://www.protondb.com/ to get an idea of what’s working at the moment.
😂 Well, at the beginning I was a bit lost and a friend played with me for like half an hour and then I knew the basics. After that you look things up that you want to know more about, but it’s not necessary to have the wiki open all the time. The game actually has a quite clear progression and hints on first playthrough.
Highly recommend. I have finished so many worlds with and without mods and I still return to it once in a while.
Terraria
I really liked it, I had the Flatpak version installed, but when opening larger text documents (with 20+ pages) it took forever to open them, so I stopped using it.
Thank you, this is great. I will keep it in mind next time I post something about NOYB.

45+ is “older people” to you?
What a stupid headline.
“So who are these people? They’re a bit more likely to be female. While both the comparison groups were roughly evenly split between male and female, the superspreaders were 60 percent female. They’re also older, on average 58 years old, nearly 20 years older than the sample as a whole.”
One important part for gaming is the graphics card - I cannot comment on that particular one, but I would recommend searching it like “nvidia rtx 4070 + linux” so you can find advice and recommendations. You could also hop over to https://www.protondb.com/, select that card and see what most people are running. Or there is this https://linux-hardware.org/ page, where you find lots of info about whats being recommended.
Nvidia used to be problematic with Linux, but I also have an older Nvidia card and haven’t run into any problems (yet). Also there’s lots of new development in that area, I’m sure it’s gonna be ok. Also some distros offer preinstalled Nvidia drivers that you simply select in a driver manager - that for example is the case for Linux Mint.
Keep at it, you got this and there’s so many people and resources online to help. Best of luck!
Glad to hear so many volunteered so quickly, awesome!
Hello and welcome!
Well, in that case, I hope you already subscribed to the following communites :)
and so on and so on
I hope you will enjoy your stay here, it’s always nice to welcome a motivated person who wants to contribute.
The usual suspects are Bazzite, Garuda, Nobara. But you can game on every distro. To give proper advice, some info on your hardware would be needed.
Back in the day we used Knoppix, I know it still exists, but no clue if it’s still viable?
Just for choosing: https://distrochooser.de/ - or put some distros with a tool like Ventoy on a USB stick and do a live install to test it on the actual system. The many options are a great thing, but of course not easy to get into at first. So I’d try not to overthink it, distrohopping is a hobby for some of us :D

Have a good transition and if you stick with Mint, I’d recommend the official forums for any questions: https://forums.linuxmint.com/index.php

Mrs. Troi, this is a great picture. Would you share where and when you took it?
You might misunderstand how their “ratings” work - they simply collect all reports and when people had trouble with the game before, and gave a negative or “tinkering required” rating, it will show in the overall stats.
