Comment on Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?
Mandy@sh.itjust.works 8 months agowhats going on with my ram configuration?
i tried using protondb several times, but it rarely if ever has worked with me, the tweaks people suggest i mean.
all between 9 to 5 on many games, sometimes proton ge too but i never noticed a difference when trying to use that one
whats a driver revision?
DE: cinnamon 6.2.9
i have done so much troubleshooting over these years that reinstalling or installing another distro became easier and quicker to do

ngl, id rather stick with what is recommended before i go through hundreds of slightly differently named drivers

idk man, mints driver manager do be saying nvidia is recommended
but besides that, i tried asking for an equivalent card on lemmy once, ill leave it at: im not inclined to try again
henceforth, if amd, prebuilt only
and regarding driver and kernel version, the moment i have to fiddle with either to get something working to the extent you are describing, im burning my pc

Usually people have only same size RAM, but otger configurations can work too. (I have 20GB of RAM running fine, fir example.)

do you think that may somehow be the cause of so many problems? or part of it?

It’s unlikely to cause anything to outright fail, but it will certainly be creating bottlenecks and inefficiencies

Unlikely. It won’t run optimally but it shouldn’t be the cause of crashes or bugs. If you’re not sure you can run a ram test (memtest.org)
