Hi fellow linux gamer guys and gals,

(The following is one of the biggest issues thats preventing Linux to have more games. With your help you can help bring it to attention of the Linux Mint Developers)

After encountering many issues with GPU Driver installation (Mint got broken needed clean reinstall) and being forced to resort to console commands in this day and age for such a trivial task as installing the latest GPU driver on Linux Mint 17.3 (the noobfriendliest Linux Distribution) i thought about contacting the Mint Developers.

What Linux needs most for gaming is that uptodate GPU drivers should be easily choosable in the Driver Manager.

But 2 years old proprietary! drivers are the only option.

Further Details are in the GitHub issue i opened and a Forum Thread in Linux Mint Suggestions.

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE and make your voice heard. Contact or bring to attention to the Mint Developers that the most annoying issue is that the "Driver Manager" has only 2 years old GPU drivers from Ubuntu 14.04.

Perhaps the Forum Mods or owners of the gamingonlinux site know the developers or how to bring this issue to their attention. I think in this case AMD isnt even at fault because their driver is out in the open but the Mint developers dont add it to their "Driver Manager". Dont know about Nvidia but i think its the same for them as well.
