Some weird, German communist, hello. He/him pronouns and all that. Obsessed with philosophy and history, secondarily obsessed with video games as a cultural medium. Also somewhat able to program.

It’s a repost of a meme, but damn, there’s so many great opportunities for this one:
Sounds like an easy way to do unproportional damage to projects with a bit of location spoofing.
The problem isn’t that the fediverse isn’t viable. The problem isn’t that it’s “too complicated.” The problem is that the giants of Silicon Valley have spent 20 years convincing us that anything outside their control isn’t worth our time.
And that’s just not bloody true.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Just anecdotally speaking (last time I used mint was many years ago), I used to have problems on there from outdated (GPU) drivers and/or an outdated kernel often when playing games back then, but I don’t know what developments happened since then. Back then, problems vanished for me when I changed to Manjaro.
If this persists and no obvious issue can be found, looking into how to upgrade your AMD/NVIDIA drivers or overall kernel beyond the standard ones shipping with stable mint may help in the end (maybe there’s a memory leak somewhere in an interaction with an older version?) - or switching to a different Distro, as frustrating as this may end up being. (If gaming is a major activity you plan on, Garuda or Bazzite are the current recommendations)
But treat this one as it is: basically a blind guess based on anecdotes from many years ago. Fingers crossed you’ll have it sorted out.
