hello all. i have recently switched from windows 10 to linux mint, and i have run into an issue. almost every game i've run on steam which has had noticably slower fps, and, in some cases, have frozen my entire computer and required me to restart my entire pc. it isn't a problem with games that don't require much processing power, but for the games i typically play (grand strategy games) it has become a serious annoyance having a slowdown to 20-30 fps, and in the case of victoria 3, has made the game almost unplayable, running at about 5 fps and crashing whenever i try to change graphics settings. i would prefer not to have to go back to windows or change distributions, because apart from this my experience with mint has been great, but my primary use for my computer is gaming so i will do what is necessary to resolve this issue.
