Could be a number of things:

  • If you're using Nvidia, make sure the right driver is installed. On many distributions you need to install this through a "Driver Manager" or something like that.
  • If you're on an LTS version rather than a rolling release, it may help to install a newer kernel.
  • Could be a bug in Proton. Try telling Steam to use a different version.

I agree that what happened goes against the spirit of the law and free speech. But I do think that the government is allowed to limit speech to an appropriate time and place.

People can still express their opinion by loudly protesting outside, posting online or placing an ad in the paper, etc. They're just not allowed to express it in a place and a manner that interrupts elected officials when they're doing their job.

Do you feel free speech should be so strongly protected that people are allowed to prevent the government from functioning? Because that's why the no noise rule exists. I think that rule was abused in this case, but it does make sense to me.

I think GP is probably right that removing him was correct within the letter of the law and the rules for council meetings. However, I do get the impression that in this case the rules were enforced so strictly to shape public perception of how unpopular the datacenter is, not to prevent interruptions. I hope the council member that asked for his removal isn't re-elected or loses his position.

I also think that in a context where civilians are addressing the council, there should be an exception to the no noise rule allowing for some applause and whatnot at appropriate times.

Actually, the way his name is pronounced in Dutch sounds like you're about to spit out something that was stuck in the back of your throat.

That's not a good comment. What it is should be clear from the naming and context. A good comment explains the why when that is not obvious:
