I use one of these for the first two phases in a cannabis cycle, seedling and first growing stage. I have two Phillips MASTER PL-L with 4000K / 55W / 4800lm. They are very good for root develpment, but the low wattage means theres not enough oomph for bigger plants and your yield will suffer. Your regular growlight comes with 200W+ and different color for the flower cycle.
I’d say they are great for your first plants, but you will eventually upgrade.
During installation make sure to read up on atomic distros, there are some changes like package handling or the immutable system, but it’s not a big hurdle. Have fun!
Am I hearing that I just need to switch to Bazzite and this problem disappears??
Yes, simple as that. I use Bazzite for ~2years now on my main desktop with nvidia and a legion go. It really is “install and forget it’s linux”. It’s almost too good to be true…let’s hope the big “enshitification” doesn’t follow soon.
I’d expect that Bazzite and Mint would use the same Nvidia proprietary drivers
Expect a big leap in performance, they do a lot of magic with the kernel on Bazzite. It’s really fun.

Enough magic for me :D I’m not sure where I read about latency fixes as well, have to come back on that.
