Update regarding my previous issues with the LLM Service failing.
I was an idiot, I was using LMDE 7, not LInux Mint 22. Regardless, swapping back to Linux Mint 22 resolved my issues... I don't know why. I can't be arsed to dive too far into it yet because it was just me having issues and honestly I appreciate that the game is able to be run on Linux and Windows.
