New Mint user, trying to get my NVIDIA graphics card to work.
Just installed Mint as my first-ever non-Windows OS. Loving a lot of the features, but I'm running into a problem where my PC just doesn't seem to be properly recognizing that I have a graphics card installed. I'm trying to play Deep Rock Galactic and Squad through Steam, and both crash on boot in exactly the same way.
I've tried an endless variety of Proton compatibility fixes off ProtonDB, tried setting both games to "use dedicated GPU if available", switched graphics drivers to an older version, have llvmpipe set to Performance Mode, and nothin'. Any ideas? I'm enough of a computer person to get this far, but I'm stumped.
Edit: Switched my login over to Wayland, also not working.
