mainline VS docs

See also https://github.com/bkw777/mainline which offers a UI to install the mainline kernels from mainline kernels PPA.

You are referring to this, right? https://github.com/bkw777/mainline

use the Mainline Tool to install the latest kernel: https://github.com/bkw777/mainline

on Ubuntu or derivates of it like Linux Mint just use https://github.com/bkw777/mainline which pulls newer updates automatically

Lastly, of you want to play with kernels, install mainline.....https://github.com/bkw777/mainline

On Mint 21? I don't think so. The only possible way would be to install Mint 20.3 which comes with the older Cinnamon before the Mutter rebase. You could then install a newer kernel like 6.3 using Mainline, but you would be stuck with an Ubuntu 20.04 base which means much older apps in the repositories.

Out of the box Ubuntu and derivatives (and also Debian upstream of Ubuntu) are probably shipping with older kernels. Normally I'd just suggest installing the GUI kernel version management tool mainline (IIRC mainline should just be available in the Ubuntu software center) and just installing a more recent kernel to get support. Though you indicated you didn't want to touch the command line, it is also very possible to load drivers that are not shipped with the kernel if someone were willing to do so.

Hey! So I'm a new linux user and wanted to try and get battlenet to work so i can play a bit of wow classic. Ive looked around on on other post like this and first tried getting it to work with lutris. I installed the drivers and wine compabilities from https://github.com/lutris/docs and easily got battlenet installed but after i close it (before logging in) i cant start the program again. Lutris just gets stuck on the launching icon. I then installed bottles and tried launching it from there and the login screen just pops up and closes for barely a second. After running it with bottles the terminal shows a few errors posted below. I really have no clue where ive gone wrong but ive been stuck with this for hours so any help would be incredibly appreciated

Making sure you are using the latest version of Mint (21.2 as I write) is key for the next piece - you need to enable 32 bit libraries and install the vulkan and wine dependencies to make things work well. This is the wine link and this is the drivers link. If you are not running the 21.2 Mint, the warning on the drivers page is there for you - you need to manually fix a file after adding the kisak ppa on 21.1 to allow the 32 bits vulkan and mesa to install.

Instructions to install 32 bits libraries dependencies

Now I get the message that Vulcan libraries are missing and I should download them following this guide: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

Reinstalling all wine dependencies stated on Lutris' Github with no luck

I am trying to launch rainbow 6 siege though proton after installing the vulcan drivers as recomended by lutris here: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

I'm trying to install battlenet and SC2 on my computer. I installed Wine, dependencies then Lutris as explained there : https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Battle.Net.md
