Hi! I recently moved to linux mint and I am fairly new into linux gaming. I play cs2 and it runs pretty well, but i used to play 4:3 stretched, and now when i put it my mouse just stop workin in cs2, it works out of cs2 but within the game i cannot click anything, have anyone experienced this before?

Okay, I have to ask. Why would anyone want to play stretched 4:3?

It stretches the player models out and makes them easier to hit I guess? Seems pretty stupid, but people do it.

It is stupid. Yes, technically the models are bigger but the consequence of that is that it also makes things in horizontal axis appear to move much faster so hitting moving targets is more difficult.

I understand how ridiculous it sounds, but it really does help.

it's beyond my comprehension as well but I've seen it fairly often among pro players.

Tbh i've player like that since 2016 or so, I'd like to stick to it, I have been playing 16:9 for the past week or so and yeah, it is not bad but If I can go back to what I am already used to it is better to me
