Quoting: EikeI'm on 450.57 on Debian stable (using Debian packages). Yes, I absolutely couldn't resist. :-)
Did you use debtap?
Erm, no, I'm using Debian...
(I had to mention because I always hear how Debian is behind. :-) )
Amazingly, it's still not available on Manjaro, and I'm using the Testing repository.

I can wait; being in the marriage I no longer in taught me patience.:cry:

One developer did say that it was easier for him to ensure Proton compatibility than to create a Linux version of his game, FWIW.

BTW, 32-bit libraries are alive and well in Manjaro.

Got Torchlight II running on Manjaro and got lost in the mines with my level 54 Embermage for 45 minutes. God, I love that game.

Quoting: oldrocker99I have a RTX 2600 Super, which is inferior to the 5700XT. It's still pretty good, but some time I'll probably go 100% AMD.
You mean RTX 2060 SUPER? Your PC profile still shows GTX 1660.
Yeah, I mistyped in the profile. I'll fix it. I do have a RTX 2060 Super.

Quoting: oldrocker99I bought a lemon Lenovo L340 Touch, on which Manjaro was a garbled screen, and I could install EndeavourOS only, and then it started hanging during boot. I returned it and got another laptop. It had, of course, come with Win10.

Lenovo:'( was the last company I would have expected a lemon from.
I've been up to my neck in hardware for over two decades and I learned a valuable lesson: it's OK to favor and trust certain brands (to some extent) while avoiding some other brands. The top brands can have failed models just as lower quality brands can have successful models. This is where experienced and pragmatic people can help in recommending a number of manufacturers, picking brands that are the least likely to fail. No guarantees, just less chances of disappointment. :D
Indeed. ANY manufacturer can release a dinger. You pays yer money and you takes yer chances.

The Linux market share still appears to be rising
