Is there any specific reason you're on nVidia? Can't you sell your card and get an AMD instead?

I'm not sure what Gaduda is using, but neofetch supports various logo backends (with ASCII being the default). To get a high-resolution image, you might want to use one of the sixel/tycat/w3m/kitty backends (depending on what image protocol your terminal supports).

What's the actual error message when you do the import? If there's no graphical error, try launching it from the terminal and check the messages in the terminal when you try to import the video.

The official wiki also has a ton of performance tuning tips, which worth checking out (especially the page on workload tuning).

Hi there, while your post is technically on-topic, it would be more appropriate to post it in a community like !unixporn@lemmy.ml - that way we're not flooded with screenshots. :)

I'll leave this post up for now, unless we get many complaints.

I think you'd be fine with either, but in the end it comes down to how "hands-off" you want to be, or how much customisability, flexibility and performance you're after. Unlike Manjaro, Cachy is closer to Arch, which means things may on rare occasions break or may require manual intervention (you'll need to keep up with the Arch news). Bazzite on the other hand is the polar opposite, being an immutable distro - updates are atomic (they either work or don't, and in case an update is no good, you can easily rollback to a previous version from GRUB); but this also means you lose some customisability and flexibility - like you can't run a custom kernel or mess with the display manager (logon screen) etc, and you'll need to mostly stick to installing apps via Flatpak or Distrobox.

Overall, if you're after a console-like experience that just works™, then choose Bazzite. On the other hand, if you're a hands-on type of person who likes to fine-tune things and is after the best possible performance, choose CachyOS.

Although not the same, this has been going on for about two years now. Jensen Harris, a former MS engineer, criticized the ads as well as the design of the new Start Menu, over here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1564399431545667585.html

NetworkManager doesn't support DoH, DoT or other recent protocols like DoQ and DoH3. You'll need to set up a local DNS resolver / proxy which can handle those protocols. You could use dnsproxy for this. Once you set it up, you can just use "127.0.0.1" as your DNS server in NetworkManager.

Btw, if possible I'd recommend sticking to DoH3 (DNS-over-HTTP/3) or DoQ (DNS-over-QUIC) - they perform better than DoT and vanilla DoH, and are more reliable as well.

I’m running Linux mint

I'd say that's your main issue. Mint isn't really optimised for gaming, as it uses an old and non-gaming optimised kernel, and most packages in general are pretty old. When it comes to Linux and gaming, the #1 rule is to try to get the latest kernel and graphics drivers. You could install a more recent and optimised kernel on Mint, but if you do that you risk breaking things, which may especially happen when you do your next OS upgrade. So I'd recommend switching to either a gaming-optimised distro such as Bazzite, or a distro which has the latest packages and is optimised for performance, such as CachyOS (although I wouldn't recommend it if you're still very new to Linux, since it's based on Arch - if you're new to Linux then Bazzite would be a better option).

The second issue is - which version of Proton are you using? If you're using the official Proton, I'd recommend using Proton-GE instead, as it includes a lot of extra patches and tweaks not present in the official Proton + uses more up-to-date components like DXVK. You can install Proton-GE easily using ProtonUp-Qt. Once you've installed Proton-GE, go to the game's property in Steam and change the compatibility tool to Proton-GE.

Yep you can indeed run it locally, easiest way to get it is to just install it via Flatpak. If you use Gnome you can use the Software Center, and If you use KDE you can get it via Discover.

What's your thoughts on catios? At first glance they seem like a good compromise, but reckon they'd be worse because the cat would never be able to catch that bird/mouse (kinda like how laser pointers are bad)?
