I just made the switch to Linux Mint and I'm eager to play Dying Light 2. However, I'm finding it difficult to sift through all the tutorials and videos online. Can someone guide me on how to get this game running on my system? Any tips or advice would be super helpful!

I'm here to help, but I need a bit more info. What specific issues are you running into while trying to set up the game? Let’s narrow it down so we can find a solution!
To install Steam, open the Software Manager and enable 'Show unverified Flatpaks' in Preferences. Then search for Steam, select it, and choose to install it via Flatpak from Flathub. Once that's done, you should be good to go!
I honestly think you might struggle with Linux Mint for gaming, as it’s more suited for older hardware. Consider trying a more modern distro like Ultramarine Linux for better support and performance. Just go with the Plasma edition for the best experience!
Let’s not forget that newer hardware can sometimes face a delay in driver support, whether it's Mint or Ultramarine. Each has its pros and cons!
Check out ProtonDB for Dying Light 2; it has a Platinum rating, meaning it should run smoothly on Steam for most users. Here's the link to the site: protondb.com/app/534380. Just follow any tweaks mentioned there if you hit any snags!

I disagree! Linux Mint works just fine for gaming, and I know plenty of people who play new games on it without issues. The compatibility mostly depends on the game itself and your hardware.
