I've been using Linux more and more recently but one thing that annoys me is my EndevourOS thinks the PC is not in when I'm playing games via a gamepad, therefore dims the screen and tries to sleep. How do I fix this? I'm honestly surprised I even need to.
This past weekend I installed Ubuntu on an old Dell laptop and Mint on an old Toshiba. I just want to be able to play Open RA with some friends.
It runs on Ubuntu, but not on Mint. I don’t have the specs of either laptop handy, but is this a software or hardware issue?
I mostly play old games that struggle even in windows sadly. I'll probably need a windows machine or VM until I die.
don't use linux myself, but i've heard wine has great backward compatibility with older games.
but you probably tried installing them yourself, so...
