It's a regime, regimes are very, very serious about themselves.

If anyone can make fractional scaling work well it's these guys. KDE's solution barely works, Gnome's creates more problems than it solves and the best comment from a foss developer on the issue I'd read went along the lines of "it's not our fault hw manufacturers put out badly designed computers (badly designed in this case meaning e.g. 1080p on a 13" screen), won't fix" - do you want people to use the system you make or not?

Anyway, I had to give up using Cinnamon on a computer I own for this specific reason and move to KDE which, as far as I can tell, deals best with this, but which unfortunately is too cluttered and messy for me. Looking forward to going back to Mint when this is implemented! :-)

One thing I’ve been having to do since around 19.04 was edit the gdm config to use x11 instead of wayland, otherwise the gui wouldn’t start most of the time.

Personally I hope this last 340 version works with Ubuntu 20.04, that way I’ll be set for another five years.

The 340 driver works with the latest Ubuntu and Nvidia says it supports the 8200M so it’s strange you should be having problems. I have a 2008 MBP with Geforce 8600M and it works fine with Ubuntu 19.10.

I already have the Valve Index but I wasn't really sure why until Alyx was revealed.

This is also for newer cards than the 9 series, like my 330M. Nice.

Do you see any Darksiders game out for Linux anywhere?

Quoting: MaathI suspect there is an age range demographic to which Life is Strange caters. I tried the free first chapter, but it did not resonate with my memory of high school.

IDK what your high school was like, but mine had nothing to make a game about, so that's maybe a good thing.

For games that aren't out for Linux, there's zero reason for their makers/publishers to make them so unfortunately. They'll get minimal additional sales and the whole ballache (real of perceived) of support.
