The patent application that led to the ‘255 patent was filed in September 2022, more than a year before Palworld’s launch. But Nintendo made amendments to the claims throughout the process, also after Palworld had been launched. Finally, the patent issued this year.
I guess, this is what makes it complicated…
Said that, in my opinion, game design patents are BS, as it it hinders free creativity a lot

I would still prefer the extreme outcome over what we have today.
And I think the community will know and happily share which line to take and if you want sell in the franchise, you got to look out that the community is happy with what you create, which includes plot holes / inconsistencies.
The big corporations just want you to believe that franchises dies if other studios can use it, when it only is about earnings the last penny out of a franchise with the least effort possible. They happily save on production cost and invest a lot in lawsuits (or similar) to maintain their monopoly position.
You only buy a license to watch/listen media private in most cases. Even if yo buy a DRM free copy of a film/track/game, you only have a license to consume it private. If you want to show (or share) with public, you need another (way more expensive) license to do that legally.
The only difference is, when you only stream the media or there is DRM on the files, it is not possible to archive it easily and the danger of lost media is far greater.
Exactly that, and if you have an old version of GPU, Nvidia won’t release updates to work with newer kernel, luckily, there exists community patched binaries to run them in newer kernel and open source driver called nouveau. It is worth trying both setups out to compare the two. Just make sure to use the driver management tool from your distribution to achieve best results.
For example, if you have an older setup with integrated and dedicated GPU, it is mostly required to use the proprietary nvidia driver in order to benefit from that.
You do not need to choose a distro -> already defined as mint…
You don’t need to do a dual boot in order to test what works. Just use the stick to liveBoot into mint but don’t start the linux installer. In this way, you can test if the things you need do just work without changing anything on the windows HD/SS
But my question was about what isn’t just working, which was your argument prior for not using Linux and now it turned out, that you not seem to know, I guess
