Glad that it worked for you. Though even if it's playable I wouldn't place my expectations high. You can definitely play some games but Frostpunk looks too demanding for your situation. I too like giving a new life to old devices with Linux. One of my older devices serve me as a home server for example. As long as they work, no need to make them e-waste.

Jellyfin is awesome.

This is the way. It may have a steep learning curve but the i3 docs cover everything you may need. There will be some different counterparts on Wayland though.

Added an update.

They really needed to pass that river.

Funny I stopped playing Dota 2 ten years ago because they changed it a lot.

Never gonna try that up.

It seems PADD got borked. Permission thing is happening again.

Pre-Vulkan era games are fine if the minimum system requirements are met. Native games are also fine. I have an old laptop with the first gen Intel HD GPU and I can play FTL, Mindustry and Sid Meier's Railroads (on low settings).

Thanks for the reply. I'll notify them about this.

No problem, and good luck!

Frostpunk minimum requirements page says you need a dedicated GPU with 2 GB VRAM. So an Intel HD Graphics GPU won't cut it. You can only do light gaming with it.

I'm sure there are gaming benchmark videos for it, or for at least CPU+GPU combination. You can get idea about what you should expect. Even Age of Empires II DE would have a hard time with it.

For Linux gaming, you need a relatively new system with a dedicated GPU. For example you can still do low to mid end gaming with GTX 1060 3GB, with a relatively new CPU.

Though for Linux gaming, AMD systems are suggested for more seamless experience. You can also get a Steam Deck if you live in one of those countries.

Edit: Also apparently Intel HD Graphics 4000 doesn't support Vulkan, so'll you need this launch option for every non-native game: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
