Encryption-breaking, password-leaking bug in many AMD CPUs could take months to fix - Lemmy.world

Linux has a merged mitigation so when the new kernel comes out Linux users will be safe
Looks like I’m getting the final kick to Linux on my main gaming PC.

on my main gaming PC

good luck with that

I know it’s not the best, but Proton has come a long, long way. I can play D4, Monster Hunter, factorio, lots of stuff.

I know it’s not the best

Didn’t pay thousands for top of the line ryzen and nvidia gear for “not the best” gaming situation.

If you use this guide to mount the Windows drives you can run it and Linux side by side. It works just as good as Windows these days for 90% of games. You can add games downloaded from unofficial sites to Steam as a “Non-steam game” and it works. Installing Nvidia drivers on Mint is easier than Windows, there’s a built in utility.
Using a NTFS disk with Linux and Windows

Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components - ValveSoftware/Proton

Do you know if that works for epic games and heroic launcher as well?
There’s another launcher that I’m forgetting the name of that will launch Epic and GoG games. Following that proton guide should make NTFS (windows) drives usable for anything in Linux though. I can boot games downloaded from “alternate sites” if I add them to steam as “non steam games” regardless of how the drive is mounted.
