They are probably running a system full of "workaround" environment variables that are not needed anymore or something like that, and seeing issues because of it.
I've also had a flawless experience with Nvidia & Wayland recently.
Either that, or it's Debian with its ancient drivers and libraries. Maybe even both.
This has been so much of the problem. The only light at the end of the tunnel is that it is literally just a matter of time until these users catch up and stop complaining.
Or how far behind is Mint on the updates for kernel, Nvidia drivers, KDE, etc? I remember them being really far behind on some things. It confuses me how Mint is suggested so often.
Oh yeah, Mint is also pretty special. It's pretty good for non-gaming "it just works" purposes, but recommending it blind for gaming is just straight up evil: No Gnome. No KDE. Just three niche DEs that are still mostly stuck on X11. Meaning, that if you want to properly make use any recent monitor features (as in, decade old features) your only option is to switch to another distro.
It's a surefire way to get someone to switch back to Windows.
Actually the opposite. I reinstalled everything last week or the week before.
