Me when playing Balatro

To me, it has to be Gordon Freeman. He represents Valve, and I can’t think of a gaming company more linked to PC gaming than Valve.

I adore king’s quest, space quest and all these classics. Same with Monkey Island, but when it comes to… Well, mascot sounds wrong. Figurehead may be better here, I think Gordon’s ties to Valve gives him a pretty strong case for PC gaming icon.

The goose from untitled goose game doesn’t feel like a PC gaming mascot to me since it’s a single game that’s also on almost every console.

I totally get it. Thanks for offering your perspective :)

I appreciate it a lot. I hate that Israel is considered “controversial” instead of unanimously awful, but that’s a conversation for another day.

Good point, actually

Maybe it’s cuz I’m not a native speaker, but I don’t see it as an implication that Israel has the right to do that. More that it’s a foregone conclusion that they’re GOING to do that because they’re horrible.

If anything, I read it as someone who agrees that Israel fucking sucks, but misses the point of the message itself, which can happen from time to time.

If it rains, their socks are pure funnels to get water into the boots

**I appreciate the help immensely. ** First thing I needed to do was figure out how to get grub to show, and to do that, I changed a file in /etc/default/grub to have the menu style be “menu” instead of “hidden”.

Second I tried adding the nvidia_drm.fbdev=0, but it would boot directly into the default version of Mint (x11). I then had to disable auto-login in the lightdm.conf found in /etc/lightdm/

After that, I finally booted into Wayland again after adding the temporary parameters and… I get a black screen again, sadly. At least the TTY works so I can get out, no problem.

I did a bunch more tinkering that I found online, but after a lot of trying and failing and trying and failing, I went back to x11, only to realize that the driver manager was well and truly messed up. Could not get it to start at all. Ended up feeling pretty happy I took a snapshot of the system before I started all this, cause I could just rollback everything and now it works like before. (Still no wayland though, but whatever :P )

I am a teacher by trade, so I absolutely love helping others. I’ll absolutely pass it forward! This is also how you build a healthy community, I think :D

Alright, I’ve managed to open the TTY when trying to boot into Mint(wayland). You were right! It’s probably an issue with my nvidia drivers. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks

Interesting. I’ll see if I can figure something out.

Answering your question, it booted to a black screen. The screen was “on”, it wasn’t complaining about not recognising a signal or anything, so SOMETHING must’ve transmitted. I’ll try spamming some keys to see if I get a reaction. Thanks for the tip

Oooh! I see, thank you!

Yesterday, I tried booting into Wayland on Linux Mint, and I got NOTHING.

I rebooted and got nothing again. I tried the Ctrl+alt+F(x) key combo, but that didn’t work either. From your explanation, it sounds like I should’ve been able to at least get a terminal for that, but it didn’t seem to work. Could that be because graphically, it WAS displaying something after all?

Ended up unplugging the screens from the GPU and tried plugging it straight into the mobo instead, and it ended up working after all.

Forgive my dumb ass for asking an easily googleable question;

What is tty?

Cool! That’s a thing? US stores only, or internationally as well?

You know what? Great response

Alright. Thank you so much :)

Ah, I already have a dual boot installed, but Windows is currently on the “best” drive while Linux is on a side drive. If I am switching to Linux full time, I would like to have Linux on the main drive and Windows on the side one :)

I get what you mean. I’ve been dual-booting Linux and Windows for a while now, and Linux has been great to me, honestly. It’s just that since Linux was the side-partition and windows was the main one, I had doubts when it came to switching the hierarchy around. I got some great ideas here though, and thank you for your warning. I appreciate it :)

I dunno, getting every cage is pretty gruelling, and you can’t beat the game unless you do EVERYTHING.

That being said, if you genuinely don’t think it’s “even that hard”, then you’re definitely on another level, and I salute you
