Totally. Man I gotta try an updated mint and see if it will work for gaming. I miss the stability.

So far I've got Steam running flawlessly. Haven't tried much else yet.

As an anecdote, the only games that I play that require more fixing than pasting something into the launch options or using another version of Proton are VR games. Half Life: Alyx somehow works perfectly fine. Otherwise the devs forget to tick the box in their anticheat to allow Linux.

Good to know!

For now, I ended up reinstalling Nobara until I can test if Mint on 5.19 kernel has fixed the issue with my RX 6600.

Nobara is great for my gaming so far. But wouldn't mind a more mainstream distro that has fixed some of the less common bugs I seem to always find.
