Is Ubuntu is a requirement or am I misunderstanding?

Technically I believe latest Ubuntu LTS and SteamOS (specifically on the Steam Deck) are the only officially supported distros for Steam

Mint is defuckulated Ubuntu.

There is a difference between "supported" and "works"

I believe steam only officially supports ubuntu, but it will work on any distro.

The steam runtime runs ubuntu anyway, so don't worry

Bit late to the party, but so far the game seems to be working fine on my Manjaro install (running Wayland+Pipewire, RX 6800 XT).

Have you noticed any artifacting when looking at smokes and molotoves? The "hot air" effect for me just displays purple glob sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, in further testing I've seen purple artifacting around smokes, and sometimes around molotovs. It seems to be worst with the smokes, though.
