I changed to Mint about 40 days ago, my first user. I'm using a Ryzen 5500 with an Rtx 4060ti and 16GB RAM. I'm encountering some frustrating problems! Problem 1: When pausing a video—whether through media players like Pmv/Vlc or on YouTube/Twitch—I notice a big drop in frames and stutter when I resume. Restarting the player or refreshing the page helps temporarily. What should I try? Problem 2: My 980-pro is set as the boot drive, but the generic M.2 doesn't mount automatically. This causes my high seas down-loader to panic every time I power on the PC. How can I fix this?

Edit your /etc/fstab file to achieve this, but you can also access it via the GUI. Follow the first post after this one here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/164926/h...at-startup. As mentioned in the top post, you should also run: sudo apt install gnome-disks or install through your software manager.

Mint user, I’m not familiar with this package. I usually use the standard Mint and install drivers through the utility. It looks like you might be referring to the edge build. Probably it works the same. In recent Mint updates, I’ve faced audio problems, so these adjustments seem to help.

In the latest versions, I added or uncommented the following lines in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf:

```
default-sample-rate = 48000
default-fragments = 8
default-fragment-size-msec = 10
```

Disks should already be installed—just enable auto-mounting if needed. No extra installations required. If you run into any issues, feel free to share a screenshot.

You didn't talk about audio problems. I don't think it's an issue. This likely stems from the absence of Video Hardware Acceleration since NVIDIA doesn't support vaapi, which is standard on Linux. You might try using nvidia-vaapi-driver, though it's maintained by volunteers, has limited support, and can fail. You may also need to turn on vaapi support in Firefox, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/firefox...celeration

Root must execute the command to access the configuration file. Using `sudo xed /etc/pulse/daemon.conf` opens it in a text editor.
