Quoting: UltraVioletIs there any way to change to a older kernel that you've installed if you can't press f8 at boot up for advanced options ?

Usually when you installed a wrong kernel you need to press and hold the left shift key. But it's really hard to get the right timing.

Have you tried to spam the arrow keys up or down? This will simulate that you want to choose something in grub menu.

I didn't play much this weekend. I was configuring my Linux Mint install, because it's now my main system. Bye Windows. Beside that I was watching the first season of Disenchantment.

Today I played a bit Krunker.io and CS 1.6.

Quoting: 14Congrats to you. Bold move! I dual booted for about two years until I realized that I hadn't booted into Windows for four months straight! That's when I was confident enough. :)

Thank you. Well I felt it would be the right move. I thought Linux would be more complicated but you can find so much help on the internet if something isn't working right. But it runs very well. I just had some problems with my USB 3 ports because of my mainboard. But I found quickly a solution for that. Well and I had to learn a few terminal commands.

Quoting: tmtvl...Wait what? 5.2 is stable and 4.19 is long-term support. The LTS before 4.19 was 4.14. Why is Mint on 4.15? This doesn't make any sense.

Also, outdated drivers make for poor gaming.

The kernel isn't old. Actually the 4.15 kernel is the official Ubuntu LTS kernel. It's supported until April 2023. Source: Ubuntu Wiki [External Link]

But if you like you can switch easily the kernel on Linux Mint. The newest kernel I got was the 5.0.0-23 and it's supported until February 2020.

The last few weeks I was switching between Linux Mint Cinammon and Manjaro KDE. By the way that was the first time I was using Linux ever.

Yesterday I finally decided to go with Mint and installed the new 19.2 Cinammon version. It works flawlessly for me and I'm really excited that I finally deleted Windows 10.

Quoting: Phlebiac

Quoting: MrNilssonThanks for your detailed recommendations. I put the most games on my wishlist.

If you are interested in a Steam key for Deponia: the Complete Journey (essentially the first 3 games rolled together), send me a PM.

On a side note, I wish there were an easier way to trade Steam keys; steamtrades.com seems so cumbersome. At least steamgifts.com is easy...

Thanks for your offer. But actually I have a few other games on my list which I want to buy first.

Quoting: kaimanSince I kind of started this, I'll throw in my favorites as well (though I spotted some of them already). As per request, native Linux games only.

...

Thanks for your detailed recommendations. I put the most games on my wishlist.

Wow I didn't know there are offered so many good (native) titles on Linux already.

Quoting: RoosterFrom Point and Click games I can definitely recommend Pillars of Earth. The gameplay is not much to write home about, but the story is excelent. You can also give Port Valley Free Demo a try. I played it and it's.. alright. If 4th wall breaking is your thing, you will probably enjoy it.

My personal favourites among native Linux games:

Mount and Blade: Warband - a 1st/3th person RPG. It's sort of similar to Total War Games the way it plays except it is an RPG. You have your tactical map where you decide your moves within the realm. Then for battles, it switches to 1st/3th person view to give you control over your characters, but you also use F1-F5 keys to command your troops. If you ever felt like wanting to be a lord in Westeros from Game of Thrones, this is the game to play. It even has a great Game of Thrones mod.

Day of Infamy - Best tactical shooter I've played since Battlefield 1942. It's something between Counter Strike and Battlefield

Pyre - a mix between sports game and choose-your-adventure visual novel. It is sort of a magical basketball/rugby tournament with story implemented into it.

Distance - crazy racing platformer (just watch the trailer for it to get an idea what the game is)

Thanks for your recommendations. I will have a look on the games. I haven't played Day of Infamy about 1 1/2 years. Maybe I should give it another chance.
