Install Balatro Mods on Linux Mint Steam

This will probably work on other distributions feel free to ask questions if you need help. I'm not an expert on Balatro or installing mods, this is just how I figured out how to setup my system.

Note

I do not know how to mod the GOG version after going back and forth with a troll I will not spend any of my time trying to figure it out, sorry. I do not use GOG and I do not have a sus copy of the game to experiment with and try to figure it out.

I cannot help you mod the game, I don't know how and have very little interest in learning. There's a guide here which might help: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3400691352

Fixing Nvidia Drivers to Use With Plex

I've read through what seems like infinity stack**** posts and various other things, this worked for me on a server with a Tesla card running Mint kernel 6.8.x

Errors

$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure

that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Installing USB Advanced Card Systems, Ltd ACR122U NFC Reader / Writer (Debian, Mint, Ubuntu)

Intro

I've found a lot of conflicting information on getting one of these up and running on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint, this is a guide to what I did to get mine working. This was tested on Orange Pi 1.0.2 Bookworm aarch64 and Linux Mint 21.3 x86_64.

The OrangePi (and possibly other SBC devices) does not provide enough power to the USB port to activate the reader. You will need to get a powered USB hub.

Linux Bluetooth CLI with BluetoothCTL

I've had a lot of problems using the built in blueman application under Ubuntu/Mint distributions. I'm not exactly sure why, frequently devices will connect then instantly disconnect. I've parsed through various StackOverflow articles and other help pages, I could never get a working answer.
