  • Ok, so switching to Pop on Wayland works. I didn't mention this in my original post, but I've been running Pop on Cinnamon. So I either need to get comfortable with Pop's DE or figure out if this is a cinnamon issue.

    Previously I had an issue with fullscreen games having weird lag issues on Wayland. Though... testing that out now, that seems to no longer be an issue.

    After trying this for a few minutes, I really don't like how slow the dock shows itself when I hover near the bottom of the screen, and i don't like how the application bar adds visual noise to the top of the screen. To me, it makes more sense for the two bars to be united as one like in cinnamon. :/

    Out of curiosity, I wonder if the crash occurs when I'm in Pop x11, or if this is a cinnamon-specific bug.

    EDIT: The crash occurs on Pop's default DE on X11, and cinnamon on X11, but not Pop on Wayland.

  • Oh man, so Pop!_OS has a "pop shop" where it officially supports 470 and 560. 550 isn't on there so, while I could try it, I wouldn't expect it to work.

    In "Software and Updates" I have options for the "NVIDIA driver metapackages" for 390, 470, and 560. 560 is currently selected. I also have the NVIDIA server driver metapackage for 535, so I could try that. It would be newer than 470 but not as current as 560.

    But since the chances this would fix it are already low (and 560 drivers fixed my other issues), I'm hesitant to try unless I exhaust every other option.

  • Upgrading my graphics drivers from 470 to 560 did the trick! 560 is the latest officially supported by System76/PopOS (and is the latest option in my pop shop.)

    And that fixed my issue with Baldur's Gate 3 getting stuck on the loading screen at 100%! Two problems solved for the price of one!

    I had an issue before where on 560 my computer wouldn't wake from sleep mode and would just crash. I never upgraded because if that, as I sleep my computer daily. I'll have to see if that issue persists now or was patched out.

    Thank you so much!

    EDIT: For anyone who may know anything about the crashing-from-suspend issue, I'm asking for help here.

  • Man, I never figured out the root word for today's featured panagram. Oof.

  • I love when the puzzle has "ING" in there. So many options.

  • Getting 300 is hard, and the mega boss is 350+? That's crazy!

  • For me personally, any game in the Super Smash Bros series.

    They've always been a go-to when hanging out with friends, in their time.

    Melee still has a following. Nobody likes brawl because of tripping (among other things i'm sure), but I learned how to mod brawl and added so many custom stages and character skins. Sm4sh was ok, and Ultimate is so complete.

    Yeah it's Nintendo and "it's always moral to pirate Nintendo games" and there's plenty to complain about their online services but I've played smash so much that every time a new game comes out immediately a must-buy.

  • Don't let them pee on your Cheerios. Purple is a color, just like magenta, pink, cyan, brown, and all the other "not in the rainbow/ROYGBIV" colors.

    Gatekeeping colors, I tell ya. Don't let 'em get you burnt sienna with rage.

  • I had minor issues when I first installed, but I worked them all out.

    Install and give it a week. Seven days. If you can't get it all figured out by then head back to windows. If you can figure it out, you probably won't go back.
