Is this from Steam Review? Because mine doesn't have that part.

I would have played on Linux a bit more if I had enough space on my partition. Good thing I recently updated to 2 terabytes!

Where are you guys getting this pie chart data from?

It's from Steam's 2023 Year in Review. It shows up at the top of the store page when you open their app.

Steam has a year in review thing, just log into the steam store and you should see it.

This past weekend I installed Ubuntu on an old Dell laptop and Mint on an old Toshiba. I just want to be able to play Open RA with some friends.

It runs on Ubuntu, but not on Mint. I don’t have the specs of either laptop handy, but is this a software or hardware issue?

What video card are you using?

[–] angrymouse@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Not the OP but I have a similar graphics on steam. Using X11 with KDE I was using a GTX 1660 super until november last year, this year I'm using a 6700xt both worked perfectly without any tinkering. KDE Wayland tho has a lot of issues with Nvidia (devs say that is the opposite, the Nvidia driver is shit). But apparently gnome implemented workarounds for Nvidia and their Wayland support is better.

Until your obscure GPU driver said no and spend weeks trying to fix it but nothing work except getting called an idiot on stack overflow

Ever since I built my new PC a few months ago, my chart would be completely purple. I mostly play Indie games though, and they seem to have better Linux support

Same here, I only had to run BG3 on Windows (in a VM) for very specific reasons tied to my setup.
