>>1869947 >>1869953 It's clear to me you anons have not read what's in the fedora thread beyond the OP. I already encouraged further reading before, it doesn't make sense to converse with you on something you're not filled in yet. More importantly, I genuinely have zero interest arguing about retarded Linux topics like fighting over what's the best option in the sea of available options for a particular component of the OS, I'd much rather my time on this thread be spent on helping anons and sharing news.

can you play old games without 32bit libs?

>>1869953 suse uses btrfs in their enterprise versions. it's highly doubtful they'd do that only to constantly have to deal with support requests and outright lose customers packaging a default that eats data. don't let the disk run full, don't run it in a raid5/6, everything else should be fine or edge cases every fs has issues with. ffs some people have been using reiserfs for over a decade. besides all that, it's fucking linux, use exfat or whatever makes your panties moist, no one is forced to use it. TLDR: don't be retarded.

>>1866444 >BTRFS is a bad idea True, but it's also the only filesystem that supports dual booting games with winbtrfs. I'm hoping the ntfsplus driver fixes the issue though.

I just had a thought. Running games that have native Linux versions is great and all, but won't I be fucked trying to playing any mods because they're going to be 99% made for Windows and I'd end up installing the windows version in a WINE prefix anyways?

>>1873226 Yes. I guess it depends on the game and mod as always, but if a mod works on Linux that's more of a happy coincidence. I hate to say this, but usually the best way to play a game is to play the Windows version in Wine. That's not really because of Linux, it's just that developers will prioritize the Windows version when it comes to patches, bug fixes and general support. Games are develop closed-source, of when a Linux binary fails down the road no one will be able to fix it. With Windows programs there is generally enough interest to make Wine run the outdated executable. If we just had the source code it could be patched an recomiled, but that's not the world we live in. Sad but true. I originally learned that lesson while I was still a Mac user, Mac versions are generally just as badly supported as Linux versions.

>>1873220 >you just know >>1873333 gaming industry is too gay these days to go the id route releasing their binaries as open source

>>1873139 >it's the default filesystem for arch and derivatives >archtards push arch on newfags >cachyos (shit) is currently #1 on distrowatch Says here you're archtarded and your shit's all fucked up.

>>1869978 btrfs has problems. The default filesystem for any linux install should still be ext4 until those problems are solved. A newfag will get his whole install hosed because of an "edge case" then get told to fuck off or "git gud" by archtards, and just move back to windows. Zoomers are starting to adopt linux because windows is shit and discord can run in a browser anyway, and steam just werks, but they are all funneled into archtarded distros by the tranny groomers instead of debian based with sensible choices for reliability. Between rolling distributions, pacman keyring fuckups and a dipshit filesystem choice, archtards are truly embarrassing for the community.

>>1873458 >cachyos (shit) You really think so, anti-Archtard? I was able to install it and get things mostly working despite being a total N00b.

>>1872330 Outside Steam client itself being 32bit, Wine can run 32bit games without the corresponding packages by running them through WOW64, which is enabled by default as of late.

>>1868981 We're retarded

>>1873226 This is actually a problem with HL1 and 2 DLL mods, unfortunately, due to how these games are built. Thankfully both games run well in Proton.

>>1873543 fallout 2 doesn't work

>>1873458 >pointing out how btrfs is used on an enterprise level in official capacity completely unrelated to arch <MUH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARCH I get it, you're retarded. I'd say stick to windows but you sound like someone who deleted system32 because you are literally too dumb to evaluate information. >>1873486 retardo, newfags won't even be able to install arch, nor use their filesystem where btrfs would be an issue. we're talking fucking desktops here dipshit. imagine still getting hung up about getting assfucked in some alley by a dude with an arch shirt, to the point recommending fucking debian of all things for vidya normalfags.

>>1874041 https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=27466 Always check Wine and Proton database websites to quickly fix your issue. Looks like Fallout 2 is one of the few games that don't work immediately in WOW64.. You might need to install a Wine build that includes 32bit. Follow the steps in the link above. What's your setup here ? If you play the game through Lutris or Heroic as flatpak, those still have 32bit Wine (Proton) and would be the easiest way to run the game.

>>1874405 >seething archtard Every post you make here means you have less time to read the arch wiki so you can fix your broken shit (again), and that's funny! >can't parse debian based because he doesn't understand versioning, only understands what his tranny groomers on discord feed him in their mix of dilator fluids Sad, many such cases! You sound like you have some trauma to work through. Maybe ubuntu would be more your speed while you deal with your issues?

>>1874041 Playing older games will be a bitch in general, but especially on Linux. Setting up a Win98 virtual machine isn't a bad idea regardless if you're a Windows or Linux user. >>1874405 Why are you so absolutely fuming with anger

>>1873226 if games provide a modding api, it shouldn't, like rimworld, binding of isaac, anything that uses a lua modding api are fine this is more a question of how the games are modded in the first place and I don't know of any examples of a game with a windows and linux binary that people modify

>>1874948 Old Win98 supporting wine on Mint fucking 18 already could do the trick of running old windows games. What are you talking about?

>>1874948 >Playing older games will be a bitch in general, but especially on Linux. Wine has a very high success rate running ancient Windows games. I wouldn't immediately give up on it for a VM.

>>1874948 Wasn't one of its selling points that you didn't need to mess with compatibility too much in order to play old games?

>>1875527 Hell, I've seen games run on wine that actually fail to run with Windows 10.

I got OpenJK working but when I try to create a link so I can just open my games folder in my desktop and run it, it errors out because it can't find the files it depends on (as though it were actually in the directory the shortcut is in). Any way around this?

>>1873226 Only if they mod the EXE/DLL. Stuff like OpenMW runs just fine.

>>1875388 >I don't know of any examples of a game with a windows and linux binary that people modify Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight: Silksong both have heavy modding communities and both have official Windows and Linux versions. I know I would like to play Silksong with different movesets from the start, rather than unlocking them later.

>>1841617 yay -S <anyone of these> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&SeB=nd&K=duckstation&outdated=&SB=p&SO=d&PP=50&submit=Go >>1841695 Yeah sorry about that, but trannies have infested Linux and push their shit every opportunity they get so we have to deal with that for now. >>1844352 >>1844383 shameless trannyware bloat

>>1876136 >yay -S <anyone of these> I've already since installed it with the flatpak and tested it with Crash Bandicoot. You also are suggesting the AUR packages without any explanation as to the concerns I raised in that post about the AUR packages. >Yeah sorry about that, but trannies have infested Linux and push their shit every opportunity they get so we have to deal with that for now. It's not just Linux. Ryujinx is tranny from the top down now.

>>1876181 Sorry about that bro it's a bit late here I should've already been asleep but kinda stalling. So anyways, on goyhub, gitlab and all these things people publish their programs in the form of source code. On rare occasions, they compile the code and give you the executables for convenience but most of the time you get the source code and compile it on your machine by typing a couple commands. The AUR is an attempt to automate that and make it easier especially when using an AUR helper (yay, paru, etc) which work similarly to [/code]pacman[/code]. In fact, they "wrap" PacMan so I personally stopped even calling [/code]pacman[/code] I just ask [/code]yay[/code] to (un)install and it will lookup Arch packages and if it finds none it will look in the AUR and install them. Same with updates. Hhope that was clear I'm off to bed
