Great, glad to hear that Mint will be okay. I don’t mind the slower kernel/driver updates. :)

2 quick followup questions:

1. Should I set my filesystems to something other than ext4? I know some games in windows I feel like would benefit from a faster filesystem, but I don’t know a whole lot about it.
2. If I upgrade my videocard (I’m using a NVidia GTX something something), would it be better to go for an AMD card? Do they have better linux driver support?

That does look pretty fun, I’ll add it to my wishlist and see how it looks once its out of early access.

Nah, I agree 100%. I couldn’t get into DF after those UI changes. Doing anything felt to awkward and slow because I had to keep switching to the mouse.
