From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Maybe because of the old Nvidia gpu, hmm will try the OS drivers hope it helps,
Update: didn't help but it did fix an issue with the flatpak version of telegram (openGL) and wine is no longer complaining about something that's broken with the proprietary driver + the boot and shutdown animation now actually runs (which is Linux mint logo)
What's the WINE error message you get with the proprietary driver?
0024:err:winediag:is_broken_driver Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.This error is caused by a compatibility issue between Wine's RandR (X11 display extension) implementation and the NVIDIA proprietary drivers.
a. Install winetricks and run
winetricks orm=backbuffer glsl=disableThis will configure Wine to use a different rendering method that is compatible with the NVIDIA drivers.&/Or
b. Use a tool like Q4Wine to configure the Wine prefix and set the "UseRandR" option to "N" This will disable Wine's use of the RandR extension and use a fallback method instead.
That should fix it.
Thanks! But I think I will stick with the open source drivers as LibreOffice now runs much faster! Opening and scrolling through the fonts list used to get the GPU utilization to go all the way to 80 to 100% and it was so slow it took the system to register my keyboard Inputs a few seconds but now the issue disappeared!
