Every pet you take home is a tragedy waiting to happen. I’m sorry for your loss.

The cat shaped hole in your heart has place for another cat. It won’t be a perfect fit, but it helped me every time i had to lay one of my sweethearts to rest. It does not make the pain go away, but it will be easier now that you have a new companion you can pamper.

i’m a tall guy, and the tub is a tight fit lengthwise, so i don’t really run a risk of drowning :-)

well i fall asleep in the tub pretty easily, so there is at least a bit of risk involved for him 🤷‍♂️

one of mine does the same, it’s adorable how much trust he has in me :-)

move the hand directly above the camera to get frontal shots, works pretty much every time

All my 4 cats do love me very much.

• The first needs my cuddles about 4-5 times per day or he starts crying if i reject him more than once.
• The second needs her belly rubs - only from me, noone else is allowed to, even tho she loves it - if i don’t react, she gives me soft love bites in my arm (sooo cute!)
• The third does not care where on me she is, as long as she can give kisses; only issue is she likes to tread milk a lot, and her claws are like scalpels, but i endure for her.
• The fourth grew up in the wild, and took quite a while to warm to humans, but now he speaks to me when he wants his ears rubbed and his head scritched; no normal petting allowed yet, but i looks more like that is simply too intense for him.

Every single one shows their love in their way.

I’m happy that i could help you find the solution to your issues, thanks for letting me know!

I used the Nobara Driver Manager to do it, so i can’t really tell you how it works on Mint. It might be that youi have to reinstall your video drivers too, since those functions are closely related in my driver manager. FWIW, you might wanna look at the available renderer options for vulkan.

This is where i can reinstall Mesa and my Drivers, maybe it helps:

I explicitely chose Nobara because it’s well documented that Nvidia Cards tend to cause issues, and Nobara makes handling the situation easy.

Regarding your game issues: i had that the last 2 times my nobara (fedora) updated, where Proton games suddendly used my CPU for rendering out of the blue, lagging out my system so hard i had to reboot. Keep an eye on CPU load; if it’s this reinstalling Mesa Vulkan probably fixes it. I’m running an NVIDIA card.

It’s also the old hardware where no open source drivers exist. To clarify: open source drivers and firmware for phone modules are about as common as unicorns.

my guess it’s hardware support; drivers and firmware for existing hardware and smartphone components for linux are probably close to nonexistent. The apk support is the smallest issue.

you can try out copyparty: https://github.com/9001/copyparty
not exactly a drop in replacement, but it works on nearly every device.

I agree, this will be the easiest solution - just add the emulator executable to steam as game and you can use Steam Input to remap pretty much everything.
