    Geoffrey is disqualified because his character is flat as a board. He was simply sadistic, evil for evil’s sake, and his only motivation was to indulge. His presence enabled more interesting characters to have a dynamic, and allowed the plot to happen by legitimizing the Lannisters’ claim to the throne, but on his own, he was a nothingburger, a one-trick pony, and an absolute tool. No offense to the actor, he did a great job, but I was glad to see the character gone.










  • Sounds to me like the kernel or the video driver died. Try pressing caps-lock a few times – if the keyboard’s LEDs don’t change, your inputs are dead and pretty much your only option is to power down or reset the computer. Most modern filesystems, like ext4 and btrfs (you likely have one of those) are very robust and can easily handle an ungraceful shutdown. When you start the OS again, it’ll run fsck on the root partition and get it into a functional state. Data loss can still occur if the computer dies while a process is still writing a file, but I think it was inevitable the moment the OS froze.

    Unfortunately I can’t offer much advice other than to use a numbered Proton version instead of experimental, and to try again at a lower quality setting. You should also try Gamemode to temporarily optimize your system for running games.

    I’ve played RDR2 on a weaker system than yours. It’s a very intensive game to run in terms of memory usage, streaming from mass storage, and CPU/GPU. Install it on an SSD to give it the best chance, and use a system monitor like bpytop or htop to check the RAM/CPU stats and temperatures.
