I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don't even use chrome, i've switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10

I've used Mint for a couple of years now. Gaming has never been better on Linux. It's not perfect and there are still a lot of issues with games that use intrusive anti cheat. It depends on what you like to play. COD type games you may have issues with but almost every single player game works these days. Some times it will require a little fiddling to be fair but generally it only takes 10 min to check what's required. Protondb is your friend if you want a good idea of whether it will work before buying

I'm not much of a gamer so simply using Linux to put old hardware back into use is already more than I'd hoped. I have an old Macbook and per your suggestion just made a Mint Cinnamon boot USB, so I'll have a test machine up and running very soon.

While I'm at it . . . any suggestions as to the best forums in which to ask stupid noob questions?

I will try other distros if I don't like Mint, because if Linux works out, I'm ready to jump ship off Windows and start changing over my more crucial boxes. I just don't see going to Windows 11, not least because I am certain that even operating systems are eventually going to try to trap users into a subscription model, and I am simply not having that shit. It won't happen immediately, but it seems inevitable, so why wait. Thank you again for your recommendations.
