  • I’ve had a hard time finding quality games in there. Outside of Shattered Pixel Dungeon they are few and far between.

    You’re not wrong. F-Droid would benefit greatly from having some sort of curated “best of” list, especially for games.

    That said, here are some I think are reasonably quality:

    • Mindustry
    • Frozen Bubble
    • Burger Party
    • Endless Sky
    • Vector Pinball
    • Surge Engine
    • SuperTuxKart
    • Xeonjia Ice Adventure

    tried to just get the hill climb racing game or a similar one.

    F-Droid has Lato, which seems to be in the same genre. It’s pretty polished in terms of having a nice graphical style and music, but IMO doesn’t quite make the list above because the gameplay seems a little simplistic compared to e.g. Hill Climb Racing. Still, worth a shot if you’re looking for that sort of game.











  • In the last decade, I’ve had that sort of issue affect me twice:

    1. I bought an AMD Vega 56 on launch day, and I had to run it with the proprietary driver for a while.
    2. I recently upgraded my three monitors, and was having trouble getting them all to do the 1440p/100Hz they were rated for. After a bunch of fiddling with xrandr etc. and trying to add modelines and whatnot, it turned out the real problem was that I needed to upgrade from HDMI cables to DisplayPort ones.

    Anyway, I guess the gist is that I wouldn’t have expected Windows to do any better in either case.
