Could it be a CPU/iGPU too new for the kernel LMDE is running? I haven’t used LMDE in a while, so I imagine that if it’s still based on bookworm the in-kernel drivers could be too old. If it’s trixie-based that probably isn’t the problem though.

What are the machine’s specs? I had a similar issue on a Ryzen 5 3500U laptop before, but more recent kernels (6.8+) don’t exhibit that behavior.

I’ll echo this, minus the Skyrim part because it’s been years since I touched it. Also, I’m on Debian, not Ubuntu. BGIII, Cyberpunk, Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, Satisfactory, Doom 2016/Eternal, Diablo III when I’m in a particularly self-loathing mood…anything I throw at it, it’s handled. Haven’t played a single game on Windows in at least 3 years.

Also runs DaVinci Resolve Studio like a beast. That includes peripherals like the Speed Editor and Micro Color Panel, as well as the Blackmagic Intensity 4k capture card in a Thunderbolt enclosure. For my use case, there’s nothing Windows does that Debian can’t, apart from the whole “I paid like $200 for a license for this OS so the can serve me ads and spy on me all the time” thing.

I’ve used swappa before, had good luck with them and would definitely recommend. OP should also check out backmarket.com as they have a dedicated section for Pixels.

Nice, I only use Keychron these days. Home PC has a Q6 Pro with Gazzew Boba Black U4T v2 switches and black side-print caps (except WASD, those are black Cerakeys). Same switches/caps on a V6 Max at the office, without the Cerakeys. My wife uses a K4V2 96%, kids use C2s, and I have a B6 Pro in my laptop bag. Love seeing more of ‘em out there.

Apparently it’s a temporary thing, but still wild.
