  • Hmm I haven’t seen this option before.

    I definitely make use of controlling which apps buzz, and the priority setting which makes them go bz, bzzz, bz bz, etc. I don’t know where I get this trait from (it doesn’t seem to be a generational thing) but I feel it’s rude to have a phone’s volume on when others are around.

    Being in a room with a bunch of people all watching things on their phones with thr volume on annoys me to no end. I feel bad even having it ding when others are around.










  • I think I’ve sorted it. I don’t actually know what the problem was, but I noticed I could download the same games from the GOG website and they worked fine. Steam games never stopped working. So must have been an issue with Heroic.

    I uninstalled Heroic and deleted the config directory, and the reinstalled it. Now the games all seem to work 🙂

    The kids will be very excited.






  • I haven’t changed anything except swapping the graphics card and following some steps from a pinned topic on the Mint forums to get it working. It certainly says it’s using proton, and in fact I don’t have any wine versions installed.

    However, it is suspicious that every game I’ve tried to launch through steam (perhaps 4 of them) has worked fine, yet none of the games I’ve tried through Heroic have worked. It definitely seems like a problem there, but it’s also a problem if I launch a linux native game that was installed through Heroic both from Heroic and just directly from the install directory (which should imply it’s not Heroic related since it doesn’t have the same DRM connection as a Steam game).

    I’m going to install Lutris and install a game to see if that helps 🤷. I hope I can work this out, it’s actually the kids that use it and I have a promise to keep 😅
