Interesting, thanks! Never heard of Nitrux before.
Yes that’s true. I just realised that I apparently tinker too much to use an immutable distro as of now. But I’m definitely keeping an eye on them.

Yes of course, that’s always an option. I was just trying to look over my Mint horizon and check out other distros and how they work. Exciting!
I had allowed all scripts for that website, still not working.
I like that article, I’m in a similar position at the moment. I’ve been using Mint on my Nvidia machine for a long time now, but with the new Mint 22 update that’s also based on Ubuntu 24.04, I’m facing similar issues and so I’ve done some distrohopping over the past couple of weeks. I’ve tried Aurora/Bazzite and Nobara as Fedora based distros, Garuda and CachyOS as Arch based ones, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and probably something else I can’t remember right now. All of them were great distros but had certain flaws that were offputting somehow. And I’m in no rush, since Mint 21.3 is still supported for a while.
I’m still open to suggestions what to try next! I’m getting faster and faster with fresh installs :)
“Browser not supported” - weird choice not to support hardened browsers like Librewolf.
Same discussion from 4 days ago with the link to the respective Github issue: https://lemmy.ml/post/18936433

Invidious is facing the same problem, there’s issues on both Githubs since June.
Bummer, it worked for me, but not without some trial and error. I agree with you, it should be easier to do it.
You simply add the Firefox profile to Librewolf and everything’s there.
A bad time to install Tumbleweed? I just downloaded the ISO today, not kidding.
I really liked it, I had the Flatpak version installed, but when opening larger text documents (with 20+ pages) it took forever to open them, so I stopped using it.
Thank you, this is great. I will keep it in mind next time I post something about NOYB.

45+ is “older people” to you?
One important part for gaming is the graphics card - I cannot comment on that particular one, but I would recommend searching it like “nvidia rtx 4070 + linux” so you can find advice and recommendations. You could also hop over to https://www.protondb.com/, select that card and see what most people are running. Or there is this https://linux-hardware.org/ page, where you find lots of info about whats being recommended.
Nvidia used to be problematic with Linux, but I also have an older Nvidia card and haven’t run into any problems (yet). Also there’s lots of new development in that area, I’m sure it’s gonna be ok. Also some distros offer preinstalled Nvidia drivers that you simply select in a driver manager - that for example is the case for Linux Mint.
Keep at it, you got this and there’s so many people and resources online to help. Best of luck!
The usual suspects are Bazzite, Garuda, Nobara. But you can game on every distro. To give proper advice, some info on your hardware would be needed.
Back in the day we used Knoppix, I know it still exists, but no clue if it’s still viable?
Yes I assumed that WebGL was the culprit :). And I totally agree with you, especially when the content is about surveillance.
