Dolphin is an awesome emulator and having the flatpak being official while not changing much of the experience for us..... It will be great for peoples peace of mind...... And soon there wont be any excuses for not trying out this absolutely fantastic emulator when the flatpak becomes official.......

Quoting: basedHmm, have you tried just restarting your PC and trying again? Seems like there's no GPU updates there (org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-xx, etc) but I can't figure out what else would be your issue.
I need to restart in order for GPU to get detected by flatpaks again after update


Well its fixed now........ I had already installed the org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-xx but there was a problem with it and a new one JUST popped up in the mint update manager and now the flatpaks are working......

Thanks for your you knowledge mate :)

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderIm having problems with the 535.183.01-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 driver that was in the mint update manager today...... Steam seems to play games fine but PCSX2 and Dolphin run slow and choppy with sound glitches....... So I guess Nvidia is just being sh*t as per usual.......

I'm on arch (btw), but are said emus installed as flatpaks? if so, you gotta sudo flatpak update as well and restart otherwise they won't detect ur GPU, at least that's the case with me
Yes they are installed as flatpaks...... While steam is native........
so is the command
 
sudo flatpak update


If so I get this

Microsoft breaks some Linux dual-boots in a recent Windows update

QuoteMicrosoft haven't yet said anything about it that I can find, and their update page notes "Microsoft is not currently aware of any issues with this update", so clearly that needs an update.
Well..... Its not an "issue" if its planned is it???......

Quoting: Talon1024There's quite a few of them, and many of them are good, but the reason the game industry crashed in the 80s is because the market was oversaturated with half-baked games. With so much competition in the market, it's already very difficult for an indie developer to find a significant audience and earn enough money to live.
On the other hand, that market-crash only happened in the US - where I am, game-devs just kept on game-devving completely unaffected, and I'm sure the same will happen all over again when the time comes.
In Japan they called it the "Atari Shock"........ As there was no crash in Japan either...... And same here in Australia......
