I started using mint a year ago and had no such issues. What hardware are you running out on?

Seconded. Dave the Diver is very uplifting and not punishing at all - if you make a mistake, it has very few consequences

Yep, same experience for me.

Same in Germany

IIRC the multiplayer was an endless grind anyway

Posting doesn’t mean anyone can exploit it for commercial gain. Also a lot of music is pirated against the Creator’s wishes.

I use Mint and have yet to use the command line. I browse the web and play games on steam. All of this works right out of the box.
