Adding the command seems to work quite well. All of my games are launching just fine now with all the system updates applied. Which is great because the graphics and fps have improved considerably too.
I did some searching around and it seems the Dell G5 SE line seems to have issues in general with Linux. I tried installing Pop!_OS and the live USB would lock up constantly.
I’ll have to be patient and hope things get sorted out down the line. For now it’s tolerable with Mint, maybe I’ll try some other non-ubuntu distributions later when I’m in the mood and see how stable they are.
