I liked it but that may be attributed to the fact that I went in with low expectations - imo the 1st one’s story was pretty generic. It had interesting bits but for the most part it was full of played out tropes - good guy’s good, bad guy is a caricature that’s just evil for the sake of it (and does the evil laugh ofc), etc…

And like the 1st one I played it co-op with a friend - that’s always more fun.

But it was seriously buggy like nothing I’ve ever seen before. At times we were wondering if it was even possible to finish the game, but after dozens of disconnects and reconnects and restarting the game, eventually it worked.

Pretty cool. I like that these guys support their games long after release.
Hope they fix some of the many many bugs too, this has to be one of the buggiest games I have ever played 🙂

I haven’t had as bad of an experience with Nvidia as people say - but ofc your mileage may vary depending on your compositor, the apps you use, the distro you use, etc.

I also experienced issues with my system completely freezing after waking up from sleep - for me the issue turned out to be due to bluetooth/wifi drivers, and with this workaround things work fine again: https://github.com/alimert-t/suspend-freeze-fix-for-mt7921e/tree/main
My card is mt7922 (found that out with lshw -C network) but I guess it’s having the same issue, because after applying that fix it all works now.

It was really annoying and it took me a while to find the issue, because if you just try to google it you find lots of people with lots of different issues, all manifesting in the same way.
If you’re lucky this is your issue too, and the fix above should do it. 🤞

I think this “it just works” experience depends much on the hardware and software you use. But no matter what, in the long term, if you’re not willing to put in time and learn how stuff works, how to troubleshoot, how to check logs, use the terminal, etc. I think you’re going to have a bad time and be disappointed.

I’ve used Linux exclusively for the past 10 years, both at home and at work, and I wouldn’t advise anyone who wants a care-free “it just works” experience. Linux is not good at that, and I think anyone who claims it is does more harm than good.

Linux is good for tinkering, self-hosting stuff, connectivity and flexibility. Most people want their games to work, not this. For me, I love it and I use it for everything including sim racing and VR games.

Haha NATO “peacekeepers” 😂

I’m glad they’re trying to fight it, because if banks apps enforce “play integrity” I’m guessing that’ll be a nail in the coffin for Graphene.
With the reviews however I don’t think we’ll be able to make much of an impact. Revolut already has 1 star from me, can’t give it any fewer I’m afraid.
And I think so few people use Graphene that the banks can just ignore us.
