Had the same issue on 2 devices with 2 different distros, it went away by itself after around an hour.

I like the idea of immutable distros a lot, but I realised they are not for me, at least not now.
I couldn’t install global themes because the SDDM is immutable. There is a workaround, but it didn’t work 100% for me.
I couldn’t get Steam to put shortcuts on the desktop (it’s a known thing, simply I didn’t know it). It only worked with Bazzite which comes with Steam preinstalled. But then I couldn’t edit these shortcuts (for example: -silent) because if I did, they would vanish.
Then I experimented with Waydroid. There was something I wanted to test but couldn’t use the online advice because Bazzite/Aurora doesn’t have dnf for example.
There were other little things I’m used to tinker on my system and couldn’t so I realised, I wanna stick with other distros for the moment.
Yes I assumed that WebGL was the culprit :). And I totally agree with you, especially when the content is about surveillance.
Interesting, thanks! Never heard of Nitrux before.
Yes that’s true. I just realised that I apparently tinker too much to use an immutable distro as of now. But I’m definitely keeping an eye on them.
Yes of course, that’s always an option. I was just trying to look over my Mint horizon and check out other distros and how they work. Exciting!
Congrats to everyone involved! I’m really happy to see Godot thrive.
I had allowed all scripts for that website, still not working.
I like that article, I’m in a similar position at the moment. I’ve been using Mint on my Nvidia machine for a long time now, but with the new Mint 22 update that’s also based on Ubuntu 24.04, I’m facing similar issues and so I’ve done some distrohopping over the past couple of weeks. I’ve tried Aurora/Bazzite and Nobara as Fedora based distros, Garuda and CachyOS as Arch based ones, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and probably something else I can’t remember right now. All of them were great distros but had certain flaws that were offputting somehow. And I’m in no rush, since Mint 21.3 is still supported for a while.
I’m still open to suggestions what to try next! I’m getting faster and faster with fresh installs :)
“Browser not supported” - weird choice not to support hardened browsers like Librewolf.
Same discussion from 4 days ago with the link to the respective Github issue: https://lemmy.ml/post/18936433
Not sure about that popularity comment, it’s also available on Windows and I know of many people who have been using it for years instead of the crappy Epic Store. And yes, it works great for GOG.

Invidious is facing the same problem, there’s issues on both Githubs since June.
Oh yes, that’s entirely my own fault. I first installed Aurora, then Steam as Flapak and later rebased to Bazzite. It was all just for trying stuff out, on my main machine, the install will be clean.
I am very interested in what you are saying. I’ve been trying Bazzite for a while now and I ran into some quirks I couldn’t resolve - tiny stuff, that’s mainly a small inconvenience like not being able to put icons on the desktop with Steam due to it being Flatpak and Valve not having enabled that specific option) -
BUT -
I’ve also tried Nobara then was kinda put off by people saying something along the lines, that GE disabled some security features for better performance (and since it was a distro for personal use at first) and I tried to search for the details, but came up empty. Could you say a bit more about this or where I could find more info, please? Cause I’m using my distro as daily driver and not only for gaming, so it got me worried a little.
This really caught my eye, but does it make sense for an older PC?
Oh I see. I personally haven’t used any particularly lightweight browser, but maybe one of those would do the job: https://itsfoss.com/lightweight-web-browsers-linux/ Glad to hear you like it so far! Hope it all checks out.
Hey, looks good! The sound panel (Menu - Sound & Video or simply type “sound”) should let you choose and test your headset. Let us know how it goes!
Heroic Games Launcher and Lutris also support Proton versions, since some games run best with them. But most games simply run with the latest version of Wine or Proton respectively.
