>>1103329 >unless you have an nvidia graphics card Hold on, I thought Nvidia open sourced their drivers recently

>>1103329 steamOS suck though

I tried to play the DMC HD Collection (Yes I like cheevos), and first the games crashed because of the video format. And then when I fixed that the video was coming upside down. I don't get why this happens with WM9 I think it was, made finishing Marlow Briggs a bit underwhelming.

>bazzite fuck off

>>1103329 2 years without booting into windows, although technically I still could I guess. Only game with like actual issues has been Path of Exile. Some patches make the game crash sometimes which is a pain. I guess games which need hyperspecific proton-ge runtimes are also a bit annoying >>1103794 Ah yes, the WMV file shit is lame. In one of the way of the samurai games I had to put a 0kb file with the same name as the intro movie. Flawless after that though

I can't wait for you niggers to return to the cesspit you crawled out of.

What happened to the other thread? Im having trouble running CCaster on Linux Mint.

Does anyone have any experience on playing modded KSP on Linux?

I recently installed Garuda on my laptop since I didn't want to move to a new version of windows. Did I pick a bad distro for gaming? I was kinda in a hurry since I needed my laptop to work before I went on a trip, and it does seem to work fine for most games, although some games on pcsx2 don't seem to emulate well and I can't figure out how to run rpgmaker games.

>>1106563 >Garuda It's literally made by a pajeet

>>1103329 I made the jump from wangblows a few months ago and I've been pleasantly surprised by how easy it has been to get my stuff set up again on Linux. Started out with Mint which I loved, but after getting a 9070XT I needed a more updated kernel for the drivers so I switched to Nobara after a friend recommended it. I'm liking it so far and will stick with it for the foreseeable future. I really like that games are contained in their own prefixes instead of every game throwing random shit in random locations on my OS drive.

>>1103329 I feel like a moron for keeping a W11 install for Lossless Scaling and Fortnite, but it is what it is. Linux has been fun to mess with so far, but I find it hard to imagine using CLI to browse folders.

>>1107262 Is it? What distros are actually good for gaming? I just searched "Linux gaming distro" or something like that on duckduckgo and went with the first thing I saw recommended. I know SteamOS is a thing, but I am pretty sure that'd be like having Steam in big picture mode 24/7 and that sounds like hell.

>>1103329 Am I retarded for using Linux Mint?

>>1108273 i use mint and I'm only kinda retarded not totally retarded.

>>1108273 Take it from someone using an ultra niche sperg distro: it don't really matter what you choose and it's probably better you are using something that's more popular. Steam + Lutris and/or Bottles make it piss easy to play games now. Well, easy if you have a bit of tech know how and understand how to google things.

>>1108273 I am retarded and I use Mint. It's supposed to be the training wheels before jumping into a more less user friendly distro. HAve fun learning. and scaring your friends when you open the terminal in front of them

>>1108546 Terminal is comfy for later. Understanding Linux begins with realizing that you don't have to goomble your computer settings and configuration, you can just enter lines or a big ol text file and any time you do those same steps you end up with the same setup. You know, instead of clicking around and praying to Bill Gates that something doesn't get fucked like it's 2002 and you're using XP.

So I am feeling kinda retarded, but I can't figure out how to play RPGMaker games on Linux. Is there a linux version of the RPGM RTPs?

>>1108659 I personally use Bottles which separates WINE environments I have one environment ("bottle") where I installed all the RPGmaker shit and it works 99% of the time

>>1104676 >What happened to the other thread? Stupid jannie keep merging Linux threads into PC hardware thread for whatever retarded reason

>>1108273 Depending on which games do you play. If you play every recent AAA title then must likely because they might require bleeding-edge drivers and kernel and you running some ancient turd from Mint repos. Otherwise you're fine.

>>1107696 >but I find it hard to imagine using CLI to browse folders. TAB and midnight commander should solve all your problems

>>1108273 yes and so am I. >>1108534 >it don't really matter what you choose This is a blatant lie. Your choice is distro is extremely important. Some of them simply wont run some games and you have no way of knowing which.

My Linux Gaymen Experience: >Debian no >Manjaro lol. Don't. >Arch yes, but slow setup because you need to configure and troubleshoot. If it's your first linux rodeo honestly not worth it unless you fell in love with the command line and customization. AUR and bleeding edge is great. And not so great. >Fedora yes. Not as bleeding edge. But the flatpack/snap ecosystem goes a long way. Wayland instead of x11, at least you can stream discord with audio now (you didn't know that wasn't a thing? Now you do. Welcome to Linux! Discord audio can't be streamed unless you use Wayland or a customized Discord client and configure your audio library to be pipewire) I'd say Arch has probably the best nonfree drivers. My games work on Fedora but it doesn't support some proprietary video encoding bullshit so games can break in weird ways. For example I can't see the loading screen splash screens or backgrounds in menus in Marvel Rivals. ProtonDB and Steam go a long way for 99.5% of running out of the box game experience. You DO get cucked by games with aggressive, invasive, pozzed anticheat though. So no League of Laughs for you or Valorant

Any Gentoo bros here?

>>1109177 I just can't understand how people keep using Gentoo. It pisses me off when I had to compile some of my AURs and when I hear that gentoo users compiling every updated package...

>>1109222 That's manual compilation. It's much better when you are using a package manager that just runs a bunch of scripts to do it for you. And when you do need to manually compile shit on your system, you don't need to download a bunch of "-dev" packages that are named differently from what the readme says you need. On Gentoo every package IS the -dev package.

<everything just werks™ besides games with anticheat! You really need to stop parroting this. It's wrong on both accounts >everything just werks™ Your "everything" doesn't include much then. It is technically true that 90% of games work (as in run, never mind any of the glaring issues that the average protondb reviewer is willing to sweep under the rug before they tell you that the game works perfectly out of the box), but you have to jump through a bunch of hoops for like half of that 90%. >games with anticheat It's not even true that anticheat doesn't work on linux. A bunch of games with anticheat work. Some games outright blacklist linux because linux is known to have a disproportionate amount of cheaters/bots.

>>1108821 Wine takes forever to load up for me and gets terrible performance with literally anything I try to run with it. I was hoping there were native linux runtimes that would allow me to run RPGM games without using Wine. Maybe I should find a different distro, Garuda seems like it might not have been the best choice.

>>1103329 As long as Chris Titus lives and continues to unfuck windows, there isnt any reason to use Linux

>>1109177 My current Gentoo on zen3 hardware used to be a Funtoo installation on k10 from 2015. I never wasted time reinstalling my OS.

>>1109370 >Wine takes forever to load up for me and gets terrible performance with literally anything I try to run with it. Just what kind of shitbox are you using?

>>1109157 >My games work on Fedora but it doesn't support some proprietary video encoding bullshit so games can break in weird ways. For example I can't see the loading screen splash screens or backgrounds in menus in Marvel Rivals. Rpm fusion

Been using Void Linux for a year on my desktop, and I think it works very well as a gaming distro. Everything I want is in the default repos, and I even have an jewvidia card and never had issues. I recommend it but it probably isn't beginner-friendly. Actually I lied, one issue I've had is getting Wayland to work but there the repos just got a more recent Nvidia driver so maybe I'll try again. But Nvidia is notorious for being fucky with Wayland in any distro, I have heard.

>>1108238 Fedora is solid. You can do all the driver shit, gayming optimizations, Nobara patches etc. fast by yourself and you won't brick it in a week (like CachyOS) You can try Bazzite too but I haven't yet. I don't recommend Debilan/Ubuntu for games though. Maybe Mint but I personally hate Mint.

>>1111567 I honestly had the opposite experience, Nobara did fucked up my games at some point and I had to wait until GE fixed it, meanwhile CachyOS haven't done anything to fuck up my games (using it since january)

>>1103836 kill yourself troon

How do I run the Playstation Accessory application thingy needed for updating Dualsense firmware? It wants dotnet 8.0.12 or some shit but winetricks only downloads dotnet 8.0.11 and installing 8.0.12 manually doesn't seem to do anything other than make the Playstation application crash. Can't be the only one with controller problems on NFS4 and 5. >>1104120 >dicksword Anon, I... >>1106563 >pcsx2 Are you using the latest nightly or at least its most recent release? Plain distro repos tend to be behind the times in regards to emulators. >>1108273 If it werks 4U, you're fine. If it doesn't, you're still more intelligent than the typical Wangblows user in CY+10. >>1109334 Linux works if you whip it into shape like your ancestors did to their negro slaves on the southern farms, Windows on the other hand makes you pick cotton. Never forget that you're the white man in charge of your system.

>>1104648 >>1112401 >How do I run the Playstation Accessory application thingy needed for updating Dualsense firmware? >It wants dotnet 8.0.12 or some shit but winetricks only downloads dotnet 8.0.11 and installing 8.0.12 manually doesn't seem to do anything other than make the Playstation application crash. I've got a feeling that even if you manage to install it won't work since some USB fuckery

>>1111761 Yeah I don't recommend Nobara, just selectively applying the stuff you like on regular Fedora. Still wouldn't recommend Cachy to beginners.

>>1109370 >>1106563 >>1108659 There's literally a rpgmaker linux tool to run your porn games that bing can find in a search, you morons.

>>1112401 >Are you using the latest nightly or at least its most recent release? I assumed the latest linux version would just be whatever my package manager thing had. I really shouldn't have assumed that. >>1114614 > rpgmaker linux tool Okay I found that, but it doesn't look like it supports RPGM 2000, so how am I supposed to run Violated Heroine? Come on man.

>>1114791 >Okay I found that, but it doesn't look like it supports RPGM 2000, so how am I supposed to run Violated Heroine? Come on man. How is it you paupers have plenty of time to shitpost but don't want to spend 5 minutes to find a solution to that question. EasyRPG/Player

>>1114905 I actually already knew about that, since I found it back when I first was trying to play Violated Heroine on windows and remembered it worked on Linux too. I was just fucking with you because you were so grumpy about spoonfeeding while still spoonfeeding me.

>>1109334 The vast majority of games do work these days, and very few require tweaks. A couple of years ago I could list games that didn't work or required adjustments to run properly, but today even shit that didn't work for years now runs fine like Magic and Rising Storm 2. If you're going to claim things don't run then at least list some examples. I'm sure there are some, but it's hard to take these kinds of posts seriously when they rarely ever cite any specific games.

>>1106563 >Did I pick a bad distro for gaming? very much bazzite it you want not-steamos ubuntu if you're just getting your feet wet mint if the same, but you also miss windows xp/7 general ui

Finally, I can make webms that are not pain to watch

Built a new PC and switched from Windows 10 to Artix at the start of the year. About a month of growing pains but everything has been smooth sailing since.

>>1110970 already enabled it and did the switches according to the wiki https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia still no dice

>>1117016 We're not looking for easy ways I see?

>>1116935 >bazzite it you want not-steamos how does it compare to Mint in terms of performance? If it's substantially better I'm willing to figure out how to change the GUI if I find it annoying. >mint if the same, but you also miss windows xp/7 general ui Mint sounds good. Now I just need to figure out how to switch to a different distro lol. After using windows 7 for like 15 years the idea that I can just switch Linux distros if I don't like something feels weird. How much of a pain is it to switch distros? Are there things I should do before switching to make the process easier?

>>1109487 A gaming laptop that was the best Costco had in stock around Christmas in 2018. It runs pretty much everything fine, but for some reason Wine just doesn't run well on it. Everything else I've tried works fine on it, it is literally just Wine. I think I've just got some setting I fucked up or something.

How do I monitor CPU temp on Linux? Running "sensors" only shows GPU, NVME, and empty PCI slots.

>>1117117 You backup your files and install the new distro. I'm not sure what you mean. You can technically do things like bringing over your .config files so you don't need to setup custom DE changes again, but your mileage may vary.

>>1117328 CoreCtrl probably

>>1117328 psensor

>Tifa and Aerith are getting changed LET ME IN

>>1103329 I thought it traded blows with Windows in performance unless Windows has a problem

With each scene they're trying to reach new levels of cringe >>1117328 Htop/Btop, Mangohud, KDE's system monitor, mission center

They just keep showing that stupid ass card game down my throat, I hate it. Btw I've updated my webm script for this site: https://gitlab.com/feed_and_seed/webm_script

>>1117339 > I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not sure what I meant either, I was just asking in case of unknown unknowns.

>>1103329 Gentoo is the thinking man's superior distro. Those who lack access to march=Native can only wallow in their inferiority.

>>1117530 How much benefit is there from doing that?

>>1117548 You get to spend hours compiling software instead of using it.

>>1117117 >how does it compare to Mint in terms of performance? generally better check op's 4th image. mint still hasn't rolled out the latest kernel version. mint is not a bleeding edge distro, not even close. stable as fuck though as for switching distros, just backup your shit if you plan on distro hopping for whatever reason, it's a good idea to mount your home directory in another partition or, even better, disk. otherwise, just backup your shit and it's all good

>>1117619 New users are not going to know how to have a dedicated home partition, and how to mitigate any issues that could arise with that setup. Just backup your shit.

>>1117530 Nah, I'll pass

>>1117601 >reposting memes from decades ago as if they're still relevant

>>1117650 >write a sentence <you're reposting a meme I love how instantly identifiable cuckchan retards are.

>>1117548 Software can only use cpu features/optimizations from the oldest/most basic system it was compiled for, since most distros shipping pre-compiled binaries have to support pretty much every piece of hardware a user can find it means those systems are pretty much just refusing to use most of their CPU and are brute forcing everything. march=native ie. Microarchitechture set to Native (to the compiling pc) tells the compiler to enable all the ISA extensions and optimizations your specific processor can make use of. >>1117642 At that point the main difference is that you are exposing yourself to Poetteringware for no specific reason, which is a weird choice to make imo. >>1117601 Skill Issue

>>1117328 If sensors isn't showing it then you're probably missing the drivers.

>>1117530 *nixOS

>>1103794 >I tried to play the DMC HD Collection (Yes I like cheevos), and first the games crashed because of the video format. Proton GE has better compatibility with those formats because it bundles in more patches to play custom Microsoft video codec stuff like WMV. Valve doesn't want to test Microsoft by using some of their APIs and custom formats straight up and in some cases, there are patents involved.

>>1117530 I wish enemies were less damage sponges

CachyOS > Bazzite

>>1108273 It's not something I would recommend for gaming as it doesn't do basic things like disabling the compositor for full screen, but the thing about Linux is that most of this shit is configurable so if you're skilled enough you can make anything work.

I'm getting a new rig in about two weeks. Distro is bit of a pickle. My Huion drawing tablet only has proprietary drivers for debian based systems, which are required for screened use. I haven't drawn with the screen for over a year due to resolution being just much better on my main screen, but there could be other issues with pen button use and whatnot. What are the major cons of using say Kubuntu over something with rolling release like Nobara or anything Arc based?

>>1118304 >What are the major cons of using say Kubuntu over something with rolling release like Nobara or anything Arc based? You may encounter issue would only be solved in the next version of point release (0.5 or 2 years)

>>1118304 Certain packages might be out of date and you may be missing out on a feature. But that's going to depend on the software you use and what features you actually need. You're probably perfectly fine with the latest version of Ubuntu. Do you need the proprietary drivers? There's a chance there are some baked into the Fedora kernel that just werk. Nobara has a lot of kernel patches that may make it work too. Though as I said, Ubuntu is likely going to be fine.

>>1118304 You might want to consider something like Pop OS but yeah, the main issue for gaming is needing to do the legwork to keep Mesa and your kernel up to date to get the latest software improvements if you care. Following what the distro usually does means you'll be moving at a snails pace. Good for stability but not really for gaming when you need the latest stuff usually to run the latest AAA games. If you don't care about them, then you are alright.

>>1118350 Guess I'll just bite and buy a new tablet if it turns out it's unusable. >>1118413 I would need to test it to be sure. It's just a bit frustrating since googling this stuff yields little relevant results with the particular tablet model.

>>1118459 You could probably just test it in a liveUSB environment for various distros.

So I've beat Ocarina of Time on my Steam Deck. It was my second time playing Ocarina of Time, fist time I've beat it using Citra on Android (lol). Nice game although controls suck. Next would be reVC (Vice City source port). I've made a flatpak yaml to compile and send it to my Steam Deck, but now I think it would've been better to just setup container on SD itself using distrobox (which is preinstalled on it if you didn't know) and compile it there.

It's a simple life

>>1117016 I am also using Artix on a dual-boot, it's not bad at all. Linux has come a long way. The really good news is that I have seen kernel 6.14 is now in the repo and that means wine will get a major speed boost thanks to NTSYNC. You may have to patch it separately with wine-tkg though.

been playing balatro, dark souls 2, monhun rise and bloodborne emulated on my arch pc lately, p comfy. i have an nvidia gpu andno issues although i dont always play the newest slop out. also random but i miss when linux mint had kde

>>1119321 >i miss when linux mint had kde personally i'd take cinnamon over kde any day

>>1119603 any particular reason why? i've tried gnome, kde, cinnamon and xfce so far and kde to me always worked and looked the best

I ended up pirating Rance 03 but I think I'll give Mangagamers a few dimes and buy IX once I'm done. Anyone have experience how it runs on Linux?

What's a cool software to use for organizing your vidya like that playnite thing on windows?

>>1120732 Lutris

>>1117033 Is that quake?

I just use the file manager and have .desktop files to launch games.

>>1120732 Lutris Heroic Both also give you option to manage Wine and Proton

>>1109222 USE flags. The amount of control Gentoo affords is quite literally unmatched by anything other than LFS, and that's absolute hell to maintain. >>1117933 Or that. But the big problem I have with Nix is that it makes a fairly simple task like applying a patch to a package and changing literally nothing else literal hell, requiring about 30 lines of boilerplate, whereas in Gentoo you just dump the patch into a folder. And I don't like LISP derivatives.

>>1117530 Gentoo is fine if what your after is the PC equivalent to an open-wheel racecar, but it comes with all the headaches as well. Definitely recommend doing it once for the learning experience but as a daily driver, you'll drive yourself crazy patching it as updates come and break things.

Playnite on Linux waiting room

>>1109177 Yup, feels good man.

>>1117328 Sensors should definitely show the temps, especially if you aren't running a custom kernel. Do note that the output doesn't necessarily say it's the CPU temp, picrel is my CPU as confirmed by the kernel docs, yet it makes no mention of it being the CPU socket.

>>1118459 Refine your searches with the Vendor and product ID >>1122040 It does say it in the name of the driver, K10temp, since they're following the ancient AMD naming scheme from the K6 processor series. Other thing you have to be careful about, especially with AMD CPU's is the reported temp might not be correct due to offsets. For instance Tctl is the offset for all the dies on the chip, while Tccd's are each individual CPU die

>>1108238 It depends. >zero hassle gaming Nobara and Bazzite. They are both Fedora OSes pre-configured for gaming. They include drivers and software like wine, proton, steam, and so on preinstalled. Nobara is a Fedora spin by Glorious Eggroll. He is one of the people working on Proton. Bazzite is an attempt at SteamOS-like experience but without Valve's involvement. Either way, you can install the OS and go straight to playing games. >minimal hassle Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, MXLinux, PoP!_OS or nearly any other general purpose, beginner-friendly distro. You will have to install nvidia drivers, controller drivers, steam, lutrix. wine, proton, etc. yourself. It's about as much work as setting up windows xp, vista, or maybe 7 for gaming. Some of them have tools to help you with the initial setup and driver installs. I am currently using Mint for gaming and for general desktop usage. Downside to Mint that it might not be as up to date as other OSes at times. People keep warning about possible compatibility issue with AAA on release days but I never had an issue with the rare AAA game I payed on release instead of waiting months or years until it's finally fixed. >Some hassle EndeavourOS. It's arch based (like SteamOS) and a little bit more barebones out of the box than other distros I mentioned so far. It's not difficult really but you will have to rely on commands more often. It's a rolling release distro too, so there will be frequent updates. They have potential to mess with your OS but it's been a long time since it caused any issues for anyone who I know who runs it. That kind of thing used to be more common back in the day. Keep in mind that if you play Riot, Epic, or Bungie multiplayer games, you will need to dual boot or have another Windows PC. They choose to not configure their anticheats to work with Linux. In my eyes, an inability to play LoL and Fortnite is a feature. Same goes for Gamepass, as Microsoft did not make it compatible with Linux. >>1103329 >and it JUST WORKS unless you have an nvidia graphics card. It depends on distro I guess but for the past couple of years Nvidia drivers have been reliable. enough for me to use Linux on my Blender rig for the past three years. I am able to play games on it with little to no issues and it prompted me to change my main PC to Linux too. I had better experience than on Windows 11 as far as game performance and stability goes. >>1108273 If you could handle Windows XP, you can handle Linux Mint. Mint requires less tech savvy than XP but slightly more than Windows 7 or 10. I am not a total retard and all it took to get used to is short gaming sessions once in a while, or to watch movies and browse the internet for a bit. It clicked with me after a couple of weeks of doing that.

>>1103329 are nvidia drivers still useable or is it still a shitstorm past the 2000s series?

>>1122318 >it does say in the name of the driver Well yes, but if you were given just my pic and had no prior knowledge you might think it was the readings of an empty PCI slot. Not that I should presume to know more than the original anon; He most likely looked it up beforehand, now that I think about it.

>>1122484 The proprietary nvidia drivers are still absolute fucking trash because they replace the whole graphics stack and don't play well with anything. Wayland has made the whole situation even worse, as if X11 wasn't already bad enough as-is. The FOSS ones are in a better situation than they used to be; the kernel supports GSP blobs now so reclocking actually works on modern cards and NVK can be used for Vulkan. OpenGL is a bit questionable still on this new-ish stack and you tend to get a better experience with zink on top of nvk instead of the old nouveau OpenGL. I still wouldn't use a green card unless I was forced to use one honestly.

>>1122484 don't know what the other anon it talking about, it literally just works on my 4080 on cachyos, i didn't have to mess with anything

>>1108273 >am I retarded for using a popular distro based on another popular distro, both of which have plenty of discussion and troubleshooting on the internet to help me fix stuff No, not really.

>>1124437 Nvidia drivers work mostly perfectly fine these days. There are some edge cases where they break, but a lot of people will never encounter issues with them.

>>1119057 >not vintage story

>>1122318 >>1122040 Oh, thought that was something else because it was marked PCI,

>>1103741 >>1103329 I'm doing it right now, with an Nvidia card I've never had any problems

>>1121077 Quake 3 Arena to be precise

>>1119321 >been playing balatro Hope you're playing unofficial native Linux port instead of using Wine

>>1121868 Is it really worth it? We already have tools like Lutris, Bottles, Heroic. Why do we need another launcher, especially one based on .Net?

>>1122484 My 1070 Ti was working fine for the most part when I tried out Mint a while ago, but there were some minor issues here and there. I don't know if that was due to shit drivers, outdated packages because le stable distro, or just my card being ancient.

AMD chads don't give up! https://www.phoronix.com/news/RADV-Aiming-Better-RDNA4-RT

>>1126738 the dlsite metadata plugin is necessary for me

>>1130159 You could buy a 5070 Ti that does double the FPS with raytracing for $200 less than a 9070 XT though.

>>1134903 If that is the pricing situation where you live then by all means go Nvidia. Here in Europe 5070 Tis are significantly more expensive thean 9070 (XT)s. t. just upgraded from a 1080 Ti to a 9070 XT

>>1134903 Dubious claim

>>1135474 AMD cards are quite stable in price here. It seems Nvidia is finally shipping some cards to Europe, so prices of the 5070 Ti are going down rapidly (from >1000€ two or three weeks ago to 850-900€ now).

>>1103741 anecdotally i don't have any problems with my 4090 on proprietary drivers, but i don't play many newer games either. doom eternal is the most graphically demanding game ive even tried and i didn't have problems running that, however i also hear the newer games are particularly well optimized. voices of the void is a game people commonly complain about performance of which runs well for me. i can't remember the last time i have even encountered any problems launching games so i don't understand the current stigma. my last computer with a 2060 super ran well too on linux

Wine Wayland development is stalled, it saddens me.

>>1136896 I refuse to install Wayland let alone use it for the root window, so if Wine stops working under X I'll stick to an old version or something.

>>1136896 I really don't understand why everyone wants to jump ship to wayland in the first place, for most users there is no tangible benefit, unless you fall into an edge case like needing HDR support, or what was it again, having non-standard resolutions? that and considering how many applications still need xwayland to work under wayland you wont see the supposed performance gain if you have to run an x server on top of it

>>1107696 I guess you just get used to it. File Explorer is so dogshit I still use terminal for files when I use Windows.

>>1136896 Wasn't it finished and merged upstream?

>>1138368 Everyone benefits from VRR, unless you have an ancient monitor from 15 years ago. In that case yeah I guess stick with X11.

>>1140023 All my monitors are older than 15 years so, there is that. >>1107696 you could manager your files in style like in the movie jurassic park with fsv or 3dfsb both are old as fuck and I have no idea if they will even compile at this point

>>1140459 I can't speak for 3dfsb but fsv still builds and runs on a perfectly normal modern Linux. >source: just tried it, it took sub 30 seconds to compile >only the docs didn't build right because I can't figure what binary "jade" is supposed to be

I want to try luck and see if anyone in here have played these games. I'm trying to use the atelier sync fix on atelier Ayesha, but pic happens. I know I can play without the patch, but I still want to find a solution. This happens in version of proton and ge proton when using the patch

>>1142208 The main problem with fsv is that it requires GTK+1 which no distros ship at this point.

KYS INDOG

>>1142568 You might need to download the fonts the game uses. Should be an option to download all fonts if you use protontricks. Try that.

>>1145610 I find that extremely unlikely because proton provides substitutes for all the windows fonts that work good enough (tm) and he already said it only happens with the sync fix. Also, it doesn't require font installation on Windows, nor does it actually install any fonts to the system.

Maybe you guys can help me. I am trying to run Grim Dawn in my CachyOS but it keeps loading and closing itself right after. I have tried using different proton distributions, using winetricks to get dxvk but nothing. I am using a RTX 2060 btw

>>1138368 I have 3 monitors where middle one is VRR capable and 125% scaling is used so Xorg is out of options. Yet synchronizations issues aren't only for mixed refresh rate monitors, 2 60hz monitors can also suffer from them since only one of monitor will have proper sync and others will experience frame drops. This is the reason why I switched to Wayland before moving to VRR monitor.

>>1139339 No, it was merged but it's still in experimental state only

>>1145918 >using winetricks to get dxvk but nothing. You should never do that. Try running from Steam with either Proton-Experimental or latest Proton-GE. And without logs we can't say anything.

why the fuck is retroarch such a fucking pain to set up on linux

>>1142568 >>1145827 If there are font files somewhere in the game folder it might be worth trying to copy them into the wineprefix' font folder. I had this issue before where for some reason a game couldn't load the font from the game folder directly as it would on Windows.

>>1145602 Based

>>1142208 pretty cool that it you got it to build >>1142568 My first thought is it being a locale issue.

>>1146246 i assume your problem is that cores are distributed through the systems repos. its a little annoying but once it is done you don't really have to worry about that anymore. if there isn't just a configuration where you can enable internal core downloads, you can probably use the appimage which probably doesn't use system repositories

>>1147610 >i assume your problem is that cores are distributed through the systems repos Sounds retarded if that's a real thing. You absolutely shouldn't install them as system components as they're non-essential and WILL cause conflicts if you're using the MP features of RA.

>>1103329 anyone using one of the new RTX 50 series cards on Linux? All I should do is just manually installing the latest nvidia driver, right?

>>1148037 Not manually but with package manager of your distro and only if your distro shipping it.

>>1148064 Linux Mint only goes up to version 560 and supposedly you need 570 or 575 on Windows. So, I guess not at all?

>>1148242 Mint is probably not ideal for the absolute latest new hardware. Fedora or Nobara might be better. Though Nobara will require a small amount of maintenance since the repos tend to need a command to fix then everyone once in awhile, so you'll need to check the reddit every few months for the fix. But it does ship with everything you need for gaymen without any of the retarded bloat that gaymen distros tend to include.

>>1148242 If latest available driver in Mint repositories doesn't support your GPU you should use this ppa https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

>>1148329 I see, yeah gaming specific distros always strike me as a little odd. I wanna avoid switching to a different distro in general but it might be the only option... >>1148347 There is a 570 package available, so I will try that on my Mint install when my 5060Ti arrives. The Nvidia website only offers a 575 .run package, so I will try that if 570 doesn't work.

>>1147999 its not really that retarded, a lot of people dislike the idea of every single program having their own updaters so its just integrating itself to the system. that said i don't use the multiplayer component of retroarch so version differences might be a problem

>>1103329 Why bother with Linux when Windows is easier? Serious question.

>>1148604 B-but le hacker OS

>>1148604 if you are happy with windows then there isn't any reason. its just an alternative.

>>1148421 >I see, yeah gaming specific distros always strike me as a little odd. I wanna avoid switching to a different distro in general but it might be the only option... That's fair, I'm just recommending what I'm more familiar with. But I do think Ubuntu does tend to have new drivers as >>1148347 linked. If you're already on Mint then you should definitely try to make them work there. >>1148604 Linux is easier once you've learned how to use it.

>>1148604 Windows gets progressively worse, more invasive and annoying to the point where more and more people decide to jump ship to Linux. Windows 10's launch was such a shitshow that it made a lot of people lose confidence in Microsoft's ability to deliver a consistent OS. I avoided windows 10 myself by sticking to 8.1 until Steam would stop supporting it, at which point I made the jump and had a relatively good experience outside of trying to get RPGMaker games to work.I'm still forced to have a windows instance nearby in a laptop as the modern corporate world is knee deep in fucking Microsoft Office and Libre Office is very fucky regarding docx files.

I've been using Linux for less than a week and I've already had more hard crashes, system lockups, and major bugs than I've had in a lifetime of using Windows. Fuck you guys.

>>1150880 >successfully baited another IDIOT into using linux Get owned moron linux actually sucks penis

>>1150880 Evidence?

>>1150880 it doesn't work perfectly for all hardware combinations, windows absolutely has more support. nobody would have recommended it to you if that were their experience. you didn't say anyone did recommend it to you, but i'll just assume since you came here to vent instead of trying to figure out why your system was crashing. its probably something stupid like having microsoft's 'fast startup' enabled which notoriously fucks with dualboots

>>1148604 Every time a game updates, you will get some sort of problem that is unfixable until there is a proton update, but you will still spend hours or days trying to fix it. More and more companies are starting to just ban linux altogether because of cheating. Some mods require a shit ton of tinkering while on Windows it's just a matter of replacing a file, specially annoying for those obscure games where the modder just glued together some code. So to answer your question, linux users don't really care about games, they just care about using linux, it's their whole personality.

>>1148604 windows has gotten to the point of needing just as much if not more fuckery to just get a functional install, let alone play games, as linux in the end, what is worse? having to pirate windows as it moves toward being software as a service, pirating license keys, running closed source 3rd party tools to crack it, modifying registries to keep it cracked and disable half the OS spyware features, and installing invasive kernel level anti-cheat all for the privilege of playing the latest shitty AAA team based hero shooter that is also a software as a service that the publisher could shut down after a few months once they've milked the players for a bunch of cosmetics when I can just install linux, have a desktop that never changes, looks just how I want, and still play the games I have and a bunch of new independent games that support it natively? at worst there will be just a few games that don't work out of the box and maybe the odd update that breaks something and gets fixed in another update, the little bit of effort I've put into fixing small issues before it's officially fixed the few times over the last 20 years has barely been an blip on the radar >>1150992 >non-linux user speaking for linux users rofl

>>1146133 Nevermind. Got it to work using Proton 8.26.

>>1150992 >More and more companies are starting to just ban linux altogether because of cheating. Funny because a game I couldn't play for the last few years just updated their easy anti-cheat to support linux and now I can finally play it.

>>1150992 for what games did you even experience these issues?

>>1148604 It's always a personal choice. Windows, Linux and Mac can all be used interchangeably, you just choose the one that fits you the best. For me I didn't like how Windows started getting progressively worse after Windows 7, and since Linux can now play Windows games too there was no reason to stay. Btw, consoles are easier than Windows, so why game on Windows?

>>1148604 1) Windows keeps getting worse 2) It just werks(tm) 3) I'm the only guy at my job that knows how to use Linux, so it's in my best interest to use Linux right now so I can at least SEEM competent even though the 5% of our clients that actually DO use Linux use Red Hat, Ubuntu, or Debian while I use EndeavourOS (Arch).

>>1150944 I installed Mint after seeing many threads like these where people constantly go on and on about how good and user friendly Linux is nowadays. As for issues, a few select ones off the top of my head: >installed on an optimus laptop, have to jump through hoops to get my second monitor to work >said second monitor will freeze seemingly at random, stops being detected by the OS, have to turn it off and on again for it to work, after wasting half a day investigating it might or might not be related to an unresolved issue with nvidia drivers >try to mount onedrive using rclone, refuses to work, after wasting another half a day investigating it turns out to be an edge case with certain ms accounts that already got resolved ages ago but mint repo ships an ancient version of rclone because le stable distro, have to manually download an up to date version from rclone's website >file browser will freeze itself and turn the entire system barely responsive while waiting for drive read operations, somewhat noticeable on some external drives that turn themselves off after a period of inactivity but particularly glaring on cloud drives, a couple times rclone has silently stopped working because fuck me I guess, which means the file browser and/or any app that tries to read from the cloud drive will lock up for long periods of time and refuse to be killed even if I use kill or xkill on them, I will note that never in my history of using windows have I ever witnessed an app not instantly stopping when killed >some games will also similarly lock up the system, especially bad when using gamemode, again refuse to be killed >after hours of setting env variables and editing files I couldn't get some games to use the discrete gpu so had to basically eschew optimus entirely and use the discrete gpu at all times >one game started up with low fps and quickly slowed until it froze, system completely unresponsive, had to hard reset, worked fine with another version of proton >one game didn't detect my xbone controller at all, tried multiple controller drivers, steam input enabled/disabled and nothing worked, said game detected the controller just fine on Windows >and yes secure boot was a whole story but whatever not gonna count that one But let me guess, I shouldn't have wanted to do any of that and Linux actually works fantastically under a narrow set of conditions which I should've stuck to.

>>1151536 Very few people here will actually shill linux as just werks and user friendly, dude. You're complaining about random cuckchan retards on a board where everyone is well aware that linux is a lot of work and needs to be learned from the ground up. Almost everyone here caveats the fuck out of recommending linux.

>>1148604 >Windows is easier? Not in my experience.

>>1151536 >But let me guess, I shouldn't have wanted to do any of that and Linux actually works fantastically under a narrow set of conditions which I should've stuck to. Linux normally works fantastically in the conditions you've put it under. Optimus laptops are known to be somewhat fucked because they use exceedingly shitty custom firmware for their dual gpu setup but even that doesn't explain all your issues unless your whole system is going through cascading hardware failure. Seems like The Omnissiah just hates you, anon. My condolences. Also Mint was a bad choice because it's maintained horribly, as you pointed out. It was a good beginner distro for a little bit of time which led to it being a pitfall when it deteriorated later.

>>1151536 Mint is heavily outdated meme distro. If you don't know: Mint is a spin off Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a spin off Debian. Debian updates every 2 years and it's always heavily behind Fedora/Arch. It's faster to learn to use Nobara or Endeavour than to waste your time with anything with Debian in it's name.

>>1145610 >>1146330 >>1146892 Well, I tried the things you suggested and others, but nothing. The game has a fonts' folder, but there's only JP and CN fonts. >>1148242 I also use mint and like this anon say >>1148347 you can just use the PPAs (ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa) in your software sources and then get the latest drivers

>>1151536 did you research specifically issues with your gpu before trying linux? like, does your cpu have an igpu as well that maybe is stealing priority for games? were you using the proprietary drivers or the open source ones? generally proprietary works better but i don't know what the defaults on mint are. and when you did encounter problems with games, did you try checking protondb? there are usually a bunch of community compiled fixes. i can't comment on onedrive but microsoft would benefit from it not working on other operating systems, so i have my schizo theories, and all i could recommend is an alternative like a personal nas. when i have network drives mounted, and i lose connection to those drives, then my filemanager freezes too so maybe onedrive connections 'hibernate' causing issues. if you are using windows 10+ make sure fastboot is disabled in windows, it prevents your system from actually ever rebooting and keeping windows loaded which causes a bunch of weird issues. and if you do update your gpu drivers, make sure to reboot. thats the only thing im tracking that actually needs rebooting, like i hate the idea of having to reboot after updates like on windows but gpus seem to actually need it, it breaks games in the weirdest ways. are you using your xbone controller wirelessly? i believe they use a proprietary wireless, its not bluetooth, that could explain why it doesn't work, but i don't know how far you are actually getting with that

>>1152510 Mint ships with nouveau drivers but has a driver manager where you can install proprietary drivers, I'm using 550 drivers. Yes I rebooted. I'm using the xbone controller through bluetooth, detected fine out of the box by Steam and another game but one game (Okami) didn't detect controller inputs, then I tried installing xpadneo and I forgot what other drivers to see if it helped and it didn't, from googling some people have controller issues with the game even on Windows but it worked just fine for me with the exact same pad, protondb reports have one or two guys claiming issues with their gamepad but no fixes, kinda gave up after that.

>>1152491 on 4chan linux threads are generally either so open ended that shitposting can't be recognized as baiting or as off topic, or they invite criticism in the op. its unfortunate, the website is so fast that shitposting is the only way to maintain a thread longer than an hour. i guess a thread that just talked about running games in linux wouldn't actually be interesting. i press launch and it opens. thats obviously not everyones experience though, i don't mind helping people troubleshoot i just wish it weren't always past tense. 'i had this issue, no ive already uninstalled, im settled back on windows now'. it comes off as disengenuous and the critiques are often so generic because they probably forget the actual useful details, it feels like a lie. doesn't even have to be just forums, if you go to a tech board, there is guaranteed an eternal linux thread specifically to help troubleshooting. it is true that many people that use linux, find troubleshooting more fun than games, there is some really useful help. maybe the people that give up don't understand the kind of resources they have available

In the Guild Wars 20th anniversary thread a couple people brought up running it on the steam deck with Linux Would anyone know how to setup directsong or dsoal-gw1 within bottles?

I am honestly thinking of abandoning linux. I am not a clever man and there are so many games i love and i know i could easily get working on windows: kamidori, elona and dwarf fortress to name a few. I mostly play emulated games and games through steam. I did look a little bit into reactOS, however seeing vids of it on youtube didn't fill me with much confidence.

>>1153640 Have you tried using ProtonGE?

>>1153698 No. I did however manage to get pokemon infinite fusion running through steam.

>>1153640 >kamidori You can probably run it through lutris

>>1153447 which specific laptop? i wonder if its using the gpu on the cpu. if you have an igpu you might have to explicitly tell games to use the one meant for intensive things. for the xbox one controller, i would chalk it up to having poor compatibility on linux. from a little searching myself, people seem to have a range of experiences that ps4 doesn't but id understand not wanting to buy a new controller just for linux

>>1153640 >dwarf fortress Uh I just downloaded it and ran the game in like 3 seconds, it has a native linux version.

Found you

>>1153640 reactos is going to have comparable compatibility to wine, they are really closely intertwined. it might be more familiar for windows users but wont necessarily run better. you can, for example, run wine itself as a virtual desktop by enabling that in winecfg, and launch programs with doubleclick too. that said, i don't recommend that for the average user. i unironically recommend that people just launch windows programs in steam by using the 'non-steam games' option. it is very consistent, offers sensible defaults, and creates prefixes specifically for each program so it containerizes setups

>>1153864 I've already mentioned here >>1151536 it's an optimus laptop and yes I disabled it after I couldn't force a game to switch to high performance (something that Windows lets you do at the OS level per-app btw). Low performance has been the least of my problems so far anyway.

>>1153629 >DRM WMA files Probably out of luck anon if it's some official fuckery Did find this ancient plebbit thread with WINE instructions, maybe a good starting point? https://old.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/comments/8tgtou/directsong_revival_pack/

>>1153948 Tried running it, nothing happened.

>>1154031 yeah i looked up 'optimus laptop' and that just suggested to me that you are using an nvidia gpu laptop, that doesn't tell me a lot. i would want to know what model laptop so i could see the specs

>>1154075 did you right click the executable, go to properties, and enable the 'executable' flag? what happens if you try to run the program in the terminal? i should give useful error messages if there are any. right click on the open folder, 'open in terminal', and then use "./run_df"

>>1153640 That's perfectly fine anon don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Although I am playing DF rite nau. If you are tired of Windows being stupid and riddled with adverts, I recommend a third party firewall and blocking all internet access except for your browser and games, like this one https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall

>>1154110 Knock yourself out.

>>1154075 Double click dwarfort my man.

>>1154055 I did begrudgingly and after spending 5 minutes wondering why reddit is seemingly designed to not show you what you search for or anything useful at all, found something better and more current but also made by a redditor, unfortunately https://github.com/ChthonVII/guildwarslinuxinstallguide Yeah I might be shit out of luck with the directsong addon due to .wma bullshit as you say but what do you think about dsoal-gw?

>>1154075 Downloading it like that probably means doing come command line jiggerypokery. Search your Software center for it, or your repository in the terminal. Maybe some kind soul has it packaged for your distro.

>>1154173 ...Nothing happened. Execute as program is enabled.

>>1154212 >command line jiggerypokery THAT IS EXACTLY WHY I WANNA GO BACK TO WINDOWS.

>>1154219 It'll probably work if you drag the file into a terminal window then press enter. I'm not sure why cinnamon wouldn't execute it properly from double clicking, I haven't used mint in a very long time. I think I can a mint virtual machine somewhere I can try testing it myself in a minute.

>>1154251 Using linux is ultimately going to mean learning a new operating system and how to tinker with it.

>>1154187 Hmm looks like a DLL thing. Normally you can just drop DLLs and INIs on the install folder of the game and it'll work, if it's something loaded by the regular game .exe. This one looks to be a windows component so something like WINEDLLOVERRIDES="something-or-other" %command% might work. Although that's the Steam format, there may be another way. In Bottles, where I keep separate environments for each game that I don't have in Steam, there's this option but can't say I've used it before

>>1154219 >>1154251 Okay I see now, you need to run >sudo apt install libsdl2-image-2.0-0 Then double clicking it should work fine. To figure that out I dragged the game into a terminal, pressed enter to try and run it, and read the output to see why the game wasn't launching and what dependency was missing.

>>1154251 Like I said above, I still use Windows for a couple of things but I just install a firewall as an OS-wide adblock because Windows11 is pure liquid cancer.

>>1154167 i meant that for troubleshooting that is the sort of information i would have wanted when i asked for your laptop. i must have glossed over the part in your original post that suggested you tried already to mess with igpu/gpu so i don't think it helps anymore honestly, sorry. if you have specific games in mind i could try to help troubleshoot them

i'm hoping that KSA will be made compatible with linux.a

>>1154459 *just linux, cat stepped on my keyboard

>>1151536 >>1153640 >>1154031 This whole story sounds like a BS to me and my first experience on laptop with GTX 1650 running Kubuntu 21.10 (so it was 4 years ago). 1. Running applications on an external GPU is done with just two envars NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia. That's it, there's more to it. 2. I haven't used an external monitor with Nvidia dGPU, but there shouldn't be any problems using Wayland. Xorg may shit itself though. 3. Disk operations even on root partition shouldn't cause systemc freezes/lockups 4. For onedrive there's comminuty made Linux client 5. Games starting up with low fps and eventual hard freeze sounds like small swap size and wrongly-configured oom killer 6. Controllers, especially Xbox ones should work ootb

>>1154484 I'm almost tempted to waste an hour of my time recording this shit to shut you up. Almost.

>>1153640 >kamidoi Runs on my machine. Use Lutris and set it to japanese locale.

>>1151536 >optimus laptop Don't ever use dual GPU Nvidia laptops with Linux unless it's a mux-style controlled by the BIOS. If it's the type where all the outputs are connected to one GPU and the other is a render sink, then it will be an extremely unpleasant experience unless you use the FOSS graphics stack, i.e. Nouveau/NVK.

>>1155439 Is this a h-game?

>>1155554 Ye

>>1155735 I'm interested then

>>1155825 This + japanese locale and it Just Works™. I'm using an AMD card + Nobara right now but it worked fine when I used an Nvidia card on Mint too. Try installing GE proton and see if you have any luck with that. >>1155847 It's a breddy gud game, would recommend.

>>1178751 I thought final fantasy was about fighting monsters and saving the world, not playing piano.

>>1178751 Cool videos or whatever but could you post them in a webm thread >>1072700 or some shit. I'm not watching this thread to see random videos and it's annoying seeing new post notifications that are just completely irrelevant content.

>>1178845 I've been posting my linux gaming videos in linux threads since ages as a proof of concept. This thread serves not only as a technical support for mint users you know.

>>1121270 >lutris just running wine install.exe worked everytime without problems when lutris scripts kept failing or installing broken I cannot fathom anyone recommending it out of goodwill >cli scares newbies wine should just make a gui exe selector

You pirated the msmincho.ttc and msgothic.ttc bitmap fonts from Japanese Windows 95+ into you're H gemu prefixes, right?

>>1179039 >lutris scripts kept failing or installing broken Those turds should be obsolete already, 100% of them are hardly maintained and umu should contain all the necessary fixes

>>1179075 In my first Linux days I would do that, but now I would rather find some libre alternative (although I don't know if Wine could substitute it for the applications)

>>1178935 You aren't proving any concept. Everyone knows Linux can run plenty of games perfectly fine. Your videos don't inform anything about Linux specifically, they're just generic gameplay videos. They serve no purpose in this thread. >>1179039 Why are you using lutris scripts in the first place? Lutris is just a convenient way to organize wine prefixes and games. Just add your game to it manually like a normal person.

>>1179039 The Lutris scripts are more of a last resort for me if a game doesn't work with the default settings. I like how Lutris makes it easy to toggle lots of settings. Wine does kinda have a GUI, at least on OpenSUSE it comes with a desktop file that runs Windows exes.

>>1179039 From my experience Heroic runs RPGmaker games out of the box when Lutris can't.

>>1179144 >Everyone knows Linux can run plenty of games perfectly fine. >>1150880 >>1151536

>>1179177 People describing issues they've had doesn't mean they aren't aware Linux can run most games fine. They're talking about their experience with games that don't work, or their frustrations with learning the operating system. Posting videos about random games you happen to have working in response is nothing but condescending.

I am enjoying naked tifa playing piano so shush

>>1165051 how was it

>>1179370 Posting webm's alongside relevant text posts is fine, posting random videos of games you happen to be running on Linux while contributing nothing else is not.

>>1179414 >just ignore the first point about image boards being fine with posting whatever media >nag about posting proof of games working try harder next thread going to ignore your id for the rest of the thread

>>1179714 I interpreted your first point much more charitably than it was written. If your actual argument is that because this is an imageboard there is never a circumstance where mindlessly uploading files can be considered off-topic or spam then I guess you're unironically fucking retarded. Kindly kill yourself faggot.

>>1179414 >posting random videos of games you happen to be running on Linux while contributing nothing else is not Why?

>lutris couldn't they have used Qt instead? man i hate GTK. i think the only good GTK program i ever used was Nicotine+ and that's because it allows you to turn off CSDs.

>>1179758 Because it has nothing to do with the thread or Linux. They're just videos of gameplay, for which there are other threads and boards you can post them to.

First they copied OSU, now Rocket League? What next? Rape simulator? I hope Also, HDR tone mapping doesn't work great in this particular video. >>1179833 >Linux gaming thread >Lets have a thread for anything relating to playing vidya on linux. <Literally posting webms of playing vidya on linux >ugh... you can't do that... It's kind random Lmao

>>1180279 >well actually technically the thread said ANYTHING related to playing vidya on linux <so obviously this means everyone wants to see me upload a series of let's plays over 150 posts at 30 minute post intervals Your posts are fucking dogshit you retarded cuckchan faggot. You're flooding the thread with inane garbage and I tried to be nice about it and direct you to a more appropriate thread. Your nigger infested site can't come back soon enough. Fucking blow your brains out retard.

>>1180382 kek, this thread would not exist, the only shit there related to linux gaming was a thread 5 years ago

>>1180382 Why so mad anon? It's just videogames. You are aware that you are on the videogames board, right?

>>1180382 Someone is edgy that he could claim board moderation, lol. Just let me remind you that last two Linux gaming threads were merged into PC hardware threade because... well, you know... there kinda wasn't gaming content in them but just guys choosing a distro and asking what GPU they should buy to use this particular distro. But if you excuse me I'll continue to do such unimaginable things like posting linux gaming content in linux gaming thread on videogames board.

>>1180382 just filter his id and be done chud

Sometimes most of the time gamescope doesn't exit properly when I close the game, so I have to kill it through terminal, and it pisses me off. I might report this but it doesn't seem like it getting much of updates lately, Valve is definitely cooking something. >>1179370 >it disproves retards who say you can't run heavy raytraced AAA titles on unix iirc FFVII Rebirth doesn't do raytracing, but it requires mesh shaders. I know that old Vega owner can do raytracing with emulation, but I don't know if they can emulate mesh shaders.

>>1181023 The recent gamescope versions have been so buggy I'm staying with 3.14.

>>1181697 That's almost a year old release lol

>>1179766 There was discussion about what should they do next. Current consensus is to port to gtk4 my this hasn't materialized yet https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/3886 I think it not possible for Lutris to move to qt. Yet I don't mind using gtk4 application. Gtk 3 is a cancer though, I hope everyone could ditch it already.

>>1111049 I also run void, but my current issue is that the void-packages repo and xbps-source combo to get non-free software or software not listed in the main repo are way inferior to the AUR. Also the maintainers are kind of retarded and have been running heedlessly since the original main maintainer left the project.

>>1187891 I find it to be the exact opposite, GTK3 has at least had enough time in the oven at this point to not entirely suck and has patchsets like gtk3-classic around at this point. GTK4 meanwhile is a complete and utter clusterfuck and the GNOME devs have become increasingly retarded over the years. Realistically, GTK has been shit since GTK3. I almost wish someone would go back, fork GTK2, remove all the glib crap and port it to wayland while changing as little as possible. Or maybe people should start using FLTK again, it recently got a wayland port.

tranny gaming thread

>>1189147 but enough about windows gaming

>>1151536 I've had the exact same screen problem + a few extra things like the resolution being permanently fucked up when I start from cold boot which forces me to restart to fix it, the screen edges being moved at random and graphical "garbage" randomly appearing on screen as I mouse over 3D accelerated windows. I switched to Fedora KDE and some of the problems started appearing less often but they still happened regardless. I was at my wits end until I replaced my aging 2070 with a 9700XT and all of a sudden the problems were just magically gone. I'm 99% sure that it was the shitty Linux drivers for Nvidia that caused this shit since the only problems I've had since hasn't been related to visual issues. Try using the open source drivers (if your Nvidia GPU supports it) or stick with worse performance and no Nvidia driver software support by using Mesa since that at least didn't fuck with my screens and it fixed a slew of other minor issues like the graphical garbage for me aswell.

>>1190652 They were kind enough to not force this shit in countries like Russia, China, Saudi Arabia. I hope next time they wouldn't be so smart and have to deal with the consequences.

Fuck that was close

i rly love this game

So is it true that you can't play MP games on Linux?

>>1194903 No.

>>1194903 I've never heard anyone make that claim, but no, regular games with multiplayer work just the same as windows. The games that don't work are the ones with invasive anti-cheat like fortnite, valorant, apex legends and other similar zoomer garbage. There's a site for checking compatible games. https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Is there anyone else with VRR capable monitor? Do you see any difference between running at VRR and at maximum refresh rate? Because I don't... >>1194389 Is that Stronghold Crusaders? Does it have native Linux build?

>>1194903 You can't play the games that block Linux. See: https://areweanticheatyet.com/

>>1195162 VRR matches your refresh rate to your FPS to mitigate tearing. Not noticing anything is a good thing. Some monitors will flicker with it enabled.

>>1103836 It was fixed already

>>1195162 Yeah it's Stronghold Crusader. I don't think there's a linux build; I installed this through Lutris from GOG.

>>1103741 >>1104120 I have a 4070 and it works fine with the exception of hdr and vrr which make my monitor act up when i have them enabled. gamescope and waydroid dont work on nvidia cards last time i checked. not sure if its an nvidia issue or a wayland issue but I still prefer the bazzite + gnome desktop experience over windows 10 or 11 and the aforementioned shit activates my autism just enough to where i want to sell my 4070 for an equivalent nvidia card but im putting it off because its going to be at least 2 weeks of downtime waiting for shit to happen. Although the recent ((orange man)) chicanery might force my hand. >>1178845 I think it's relevant enough to the thread. >>1117530 >>1118986 >>1195509 This thread needs moar os tans.

Shit sucks ass, can't post webms, it's over

Maybe small one will do?

Well yeah, that's fucking work, why doesn't it allow me to post anything else then?

How about this?

>>1196214 Thank god she's not naked I don't think I could handle it

It seems I've made one video that makes this site shit itself. I guess it can't stomach av1 well.

Btw did you know that with virglrenderer on host machine and vulkan-virtio you can have hardware accelerated Vulkan in your VM with performance almost identical to the hosts?

KDE devs seems to fighting very hard with Wayland development bullshit

>>1194903 >>1195119 they don't work cause they are actively blocked by these publishers, you could find some project/private server as alternative, but idgf enough.

>>1195993 there's so many things wrong and useless shit to click here, it's kind of annoying too to see videos in full size and not being able to hover.

>>1103329 Perhaps an 8chan wiki is needed on getting started on Gaming with Linux, including firewalls and other security stuff.

>>1111049 >>1188933 Can you share a bit more about void? I'm currently running arch with gnome (please no bully) because it's what has been easy to understand and work with. Haven't seen many resources for void especially when it comes to gaming. Might be because I'm a noob who follows tutorials instead of trying to learn things from the bottom up and left windows just two months ago. I'd love to also try customizing things further and maybe trying a Tiling Window manager but I'm just coming out of the growing pains of using windows my whole life.

>>1195780 >This thread needs moar os tans Not exactly an OS-Tan but there's XFCE-Tan. >>1197404 >KDE devs seems to fighting very hard with Wayland development bullshit How so? Give more info or a link.

>>1148604 >windows >download 500 things to try and scrub new versions of spyware and pajeetery >linux >download 500 things so your games can run I don't see the difference

I use dwm now and it's a rather unwieldy beast to start off with, many applications have issue with not having a systray so you have to patch it in just for them, maybe you don't like tiling windows automatically so you gotta change the default behavior and recompile, the status bar needs configuring, it's a lot to figure out and unless you know anything about C you'll be pulling your hair out

>>1199442 god damn it, meant to quote >>1198336

>>1197703 Doesn't your router typically cover basic firewalls? The firewall isn't even enabled by default in most linux distros.

>>1200571 CachyGODS win again https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/post_install_setup/#configuring-firewall-ufw

>>1200592 That doesn't really answer the question of whether or not it's necessary in the first place.

>>1198442 >How so? Give more info or a link. Entire adoption of experimental protocols is done by KDE devs, other members of so called "Wayland consortium" wouldn't do shit and prefer to leave things in their stalled state in the best case or object for some retarded reasons for the worst. Like how gnome devs refused to adopt cursor shape protocol or deliberately tried to sabotage toplevel icons protocol.

Is this my cue to finally sit down and finish installing Gentoo on my tower?

>Try intalling sonic R and running it through lutris >It loads but without any music >try modding it and adding music >Game crashes on startup and fucks up my display what am i doing wrong, i've been following the steps and this has happened like 3 times, on mint if that's important desu.

>>1205310 >Game crashes on startup and fucks up my display Xorg Although I like Wayland for telling applications to fuck off from video modes there are people who insist on applications to fuck up your display

>>1205310 And yeah, if you used Lutris installing scripts then you're retarded, install it by yourself.

Honest question: why is it that every time I open steam a few of my games update themselves? What are they even updating?

>>1206637 The latest version of those games. You can turn off updates for each game individually or set a global schedule.

>>1206768 You're telling me they release new versions every day?

>>1206637 most likely config files or something related to proton. there's no way that the delisted 2000s games in my library still get updates.

>>1206829 Ohhh okay

>>1206637 Don't listen to other anon, I bet it's the shader pre-cache. Depends on how old is your hardware, you can safely disable it.

>>1207568 thanks for confirming, good to know

>>1205310 use dgvoodoo

>>1207568 > you can safely disable it. Doesn't it also download the transcoded videos? If you disable it some games won't have videos if the codecs are incompatible.

>>1196602 Tried this type of virtualization ages ago and was successful but it was a pain in the ass. Might give it another go with that virglrenderer thing then

>>1209439 >>1210492 Ayy holy shit talk about relevant about virtualization nice

>>1196602 does this work on windows vms yet though

>>1206637 Shader caches If you're on AMD GPU you can disable them since GPL shader compiler is good enough to not bother with this shit

I'm been thinking about pulling the trigger with Nobara and just force myself to adapt to the linux lifestyle or maybe i try bazzite

>>1211569 Nobara or bazzite are walking in the park Pulling the trigger would be bare arch. Although I've installed bare arch myself when migrating from Kubuntu I can't say it's too much work since most of the shit come as the dependencies for other shit.

>>1121421 >the big problem I have with Nix is that it makes a fairly simple task like applying a patch to a package and changing literally nothing else literal hell I feel like there's gotta be something you're missing, in guix this is just ```scheme ((options->transformation (list '(with-patch . "{package-name}={patch-path}"))) {package}) ``` I haven't really used nix but from what i've seen i can't really see it being that much harder than guix

>>1211569 Nobara is very good as long as you're fine with needing to copy and paste a command to fix the updater every few months. Nobara helps a lot with learning Linux since it comes with most of everything you would want and nothing you wouldn't out of the box. But like with any small team distro it isn't as reliable in the long term. Nobara -> pure fedora eventually is probably the most seamless and comfy path I'd recommend for new linux users these days. Mint has caused so many issues with people having outdated packages that I find it very hard to recommend anymore. Fedora is bleeding edge while still having a lot of official packages with .rpm instead of depending on random AUR packages as a crutch for their otherwise terrible repos.

>>1212693 Well, and I was wondering what should I play next after nu-final fantasy turd

LMAO There's an Arma: Cold War Assault (Operation: Flashpoint) Linux native as another product, so if I have Windows version and can't have a Linux version https://store.steampowered.com/app/594550/Arma_Cold_War_Assault_MacLinux/

>>1209042 Yeah, but it's annoying how it will always download shit everyday. If you get the no tv signal screen/can't play a cutscene, it's better to switch to proton-ge for that game IMO. >>1211569 Like these anon said >>1211724 >>1212612, go with nobara and join their discord. You'll learn a thing or two trouble shooting linux once in a while. I finally moved to arch after using nobara for a year because I feel a bit comfortable installing my own system. Or install bazzite if you just want to set and forget system for gaming. Do note that immutable distro has harder time installing new native apps (by design). >>1212693 How is the performance? I'm worried about the modability too.

>>1212693 >Remastered game still uses Gamebryo engine So does that mean it will still have the shitty 255 plugin limit?

>>1213148 >Remastered game still uses Gamebryo engine Source? I thought it based on UE5

>>1212994 >Or install bazzite if you just want to set and forget system for gaming. Do note that immutable distro has harder time installing new native apps (by design). I don't know how to properly ask this but how much does it suck to install new native apps? Like harder than installing an app on android from apk?

>>1213172 I only heard it from other people that this game is supposedly still using Gamebryo engine for the rest like game logic and such.

>>1148604 Windows update = OS gets worse Linux update = OS gets better Simple as.

>>1213657 How about Mac update? Where would that fit in?

>>1213335 you click install for flatpak, appimage like anyother distro just make it executable(right click or gearleveler), distrobox(boxbuddy) can be used too, or if really needed you layer it(rpm-ostree something). Bazzite come with all this shit and they do some support via discord i think, also they have ujust in terminal for specifics cases. The goal is being usable by retards. the question is more do you need an 'app' that you think will be complicated to install ?

>>1213772 Mac update = dildo goes deeper in the ass (it's a good thing for someone I guess?) I still can't post new stuff

>>1213772 Never used it but it doesn't appeal to me personally. I do know that it took 20 years for a mouse acceleration toggle to get added to MacOS though.

32 MB filesize limit my ass Can't post shit

>>1148604 read the op >>1213335 if its on this website https://flathub.org/ then its as easy as just clicking install in the built in software store >>1211569 nobara is a good option too. i recommended bazzite in the op as its harder to break for newbies that might want to try it out, but you cant go wrong with either

>>1213657 And yet after decades of Linux updates it's still a worse experience than Windows.

>>1214299 Yes, it is worse experience for getting malware, Windows handles it quite better

<bought 64 GB of RAM <only to have less than 16 GB used I feel scammed

I have a 2080 Super and an i7 7700k. How would Linux benefit me?

>>1214432 Don't feel too bad anon.

>>1214698 By removing windows from your computer

>>1214809 guide me then

>>1214759 Are you running language models?

>>1214698 i may remember wrong but 7th gen intel cpus aren't supported by win11 and you will lose win10 support this year (though i got a feeling that regular win10 gets one or two extra years or bump or people actually move to linux lol)

>>1213816 >the question is more do you need an 'app' that you think will be complicated to install ? Probably nope, aside of ubisoft and co's own launchers but i know there is a software for that too. I imagine most emulators gtot their flatpak or appimage too. Like rpcs2-3, duckstation, mgba etc (nvm, found out they are all there on flathub) For any other stuffs, i will probably have a winxp WM set up (old ass games that aren't sold on any store like twisted metal 2) >>1214158 >if its on this website https://flathub.org/ then its as easy as just clicking install in the built in software store yeah i see most emulators here i am using or it's alternatives. >nobara is a good option too. i recommended bazzite in the op as its harder to break for newbies that might want to try it out, but you cant go wrong with either I don't think i'm that dumb to break the system. Like i wouldn't have done what Linus has done with pop os. I probably google fu it first to figure out things.

I love jiggle physics

>>1214158 >i recommended bazzite in the op as its harder to break for newbies that might want to try it out, but you cant go wrong with either Immutable systems are fucking retarded. If you know enough to "break" your system then you weren't going to get the benefits of an immutable system anyways. I've never seen an argument that makes sense for them and their security is completely ruined by the fact you need to get a shitload of software from unverified sources on flathub instead of just getting them directly from your distros repos. They are utterly pointless.

>>1215596 ah yes the 56k experience img board, so nostalgic

>>1213335 Here's what you can do to install apps on bazzite : https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/ What I mean by native apps is the last point. That's the usual way to install apps but it's a last resort on immutable distro. >>1216046 I'll say this again. You are underestimating how retarded average joe can be. Sure maybe they won't have know how to ruin their system on purpose, but you can bet someone somewhere gonna do something so stupid that it will ruin something. Have you seen how much people just copy and paste launch command in protondb ?

>>1218471 I can't even begin to think of how a new linux user would ruin a basic install of KDE. How are you even defining "ruin"?

oblivion remaster running as expected on rtx 4070 arch linux. not the worst ue 5 game performance wise but still ehh

>>1218845 Copy pasting shit for a problem that they don't fully understand is the most common one. These people take RTFM as an insult, not as part of trouble shooting. Hell, I even saw someone that see the steps for installing nvidia driver on base fedora and conclude it's hacker shit.

>>1220788 Wasn't it just the textures that rely on UE5?

How fucked is 9070 XT support on Linux right now? v

>>1220867 I've heard that they rigged UE5 to load the Oblivion datafiles and load custom assets. That's like the worst way of doing anything.

>>1220846 I don't know why to this day Linux users are continually surprised at people wanting their shit to just work like it does on Windows, rather than having to spend hours on research and learning just to get basic functionality.

>>1188933 Hmm that is true, mostly I have just accepted if what I want isn't available as a native package or as a flatpak is probably not going to really be available. But I just game and browse the internet and watch videos. If you do some important software dev stuff I can imagine there's something important that is missing or will be a pain to get working. >>1198336 A lot of things on the Arch wiki are applicable to Void. Honestly both distros are the same "mindset" I think but Arch has the AUR as an advantage. I think if you are comfy with Arch already it is fine to stick with it. But I just like Void because it starts up fast and does not really have any stupid bullshit running in the background from a fresh install. As well as how services work, in void it's just "start this thing please" whereas sometimes systemd is very fucky. I think also xbps-src is pretty flexible for when you need to compile stuff but again AUR has possibly everything a layman could want. Truth be told I can't explain in a technical sense what makes Void better than anything else because I am not really knowledgeable into the inner workings of OSes, but I just found Void the best way for me to get my system running the way I want to with minimal issues and that just makes me happy.

>look into tuxkart modding >it has its own fucking 3d model format why are linuxfags like this, just use gltf

>>1222900 I don't think there was ever a time where windows "just worked" for me, the amount of times xp would bluescreen and the only fix was "just reinstall lmao". Windows 7 was technically better but I still had to jump through plenty of hoops with it using sketchy third party tools. Microsoft has made it even more tedious to do shit with their hiding the control panel behind flat black and white menus, making the whole OS look like it was designed in powerpoint, and the last machine running windows I worked on started freezing after setting it to hibernate on a schedule, and sometimes even breaking the account which looked like basic system services couldn't be found any more, making it impossible to do anything without knowing the shortcut to launch the run prompt, requiring me to use system restore for the first time in decades. A system waking from hibernation should not break this fucking hard. >>1225177 that's like when I wanted to try replacing the player model in luanti to make them more distinct than just 6 basic cubes, I thought "this should be easy, the engine supports blender files", well no as it turns out the player models are some obscure deprecated 3d model format that nothing supports, and it's only thanks to someone with interest in minetest at the time made a plugin for blender to work with the format because even blender doesn't support it, can't even remember what the hell it is it's so obscure and had to look it up, b3d (blitz 3d) which if I do a search for it results in a game programming language for windows 95, a candy crush clone on apple's app store, and a fucking nootropics website, what the fuck

>>1225177 It was made before that file extension existed.

why cant nvidia just make their linux drivers fully featured, they have more money and developers than god just put a couple guys on it full time holy fuck

Would some anon kindly get the Dark Souls Connectivity Mod for Dark Souls PTDE/Remastered working so that others can finally play online again. The servers are kill. I'd ask for the Dark Souls Remastest mod that adds halo and other cool shit into the game too but there's no way in hell that it will ever run in linux. The developers and other souls mod makera exclusively use windows.

>>1225177 SPM is not a 3D model, it's a bundle of multiple 3D models, textures, skeletons and animation data. It's more like a mod package. But more to the point, GLTF didn't exist in 2001.

>>1225478 When was this? I thought this was being worked on based onhttps://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/pull/14557

>>1222226 Fucked to an extent where you won't be able to differentiate between driver and hardware problems. Not a good place to be in when buying new hardware. Wait a few months.

>Hey, thanks for having me! I told you she was a slut >>1216473 Well, at least I managed to post it. Site was shitting itself back then

>>1222900 >windows >just works Windows only just works because you've used it for 20-30 years and are intimately familiar with it. There is a shitload of completely basic shit that requires a lot more effort to get working on Windows than Linux. Only in the last few years did Windows get automatic driver installation, and even that breaks half the time. Drivers on Linux are just baked into the kernel, I don't need to install shit unless it's kiked hardware. I had to configure RGB settings for someone's computer on Windows and that shit was a fucking nightmare using task scheduler and even then it was still fucked. On Linux it takes 3 seconds to setup and just works every time. No one is surprised that people want shit to just work. And yes, your games will almost always be easier to get running on Windows. But windows niggers really don't understand just how fucking annoying windows is to use when you've learned and gotten used to Linux and all the software that is just there in your repos a single command away. The only real reason why Linux is "hard" is because you haven't spent your entire life learning to use it like most do with windows. It's perfectly acceptable to be an adult with responsibilities who doesn't want to dedicated hundreds of hours of his life into learning some new gay retarded operating system. But windows drains my time and energy significantly more than anything on Linux ever has.

>>1227260 This is true. I had to install windows the other day, and dear god, it is such a Sisyphean task. You actually have to manually download network drivers for your hardware from god-knows-where and put it on a separate usb drive in order to install them at first boot. It boggles the mind that people think this is tolerable for the Os that is supposed to "just work".

>>1225893 Are you starting DSCM in the game's Wine prefix? I think you can use Protontricks to do that.

>>1227707 The fuck Valve still hasn't properly implemented controlling which prefix you're running shit in is fucking hilarious. And retards still think that SteamOS is going to be some amazing distro.

>>1227746 Yep, doing that shit in Steam sucks ass as it is now. I don't know if you can just use the WINEPREFIX env var or if it will mess up your game. One reason why I like Lutris is that it has an option to do that.

Lmao >>1227746 >>1227805 Since umu-launcher can load Steam libraries you may just use it while having Steam in background instead of using Steam to launch games.

Well, it's kinda nice game. I always wanted to try Oblivion, but it looks and feel very ugly, so I've always was dropping it immediately. Maybe not this time though.

>>1228124 >but it looks and feel very ugly No it doesn't. You know what does? This bastardized, bloated, niggerly, 100tb JewE5(TM) version. It plays like ESO and looks like those mobile game ads where some bitch takes a shit all over some guy. You're an enemy of mankind for financially supporting this shit.

>>1228166 >You're an enemy of mankind for financially supporting this shit. Lol

how does oblivion remaster run on nvidia under linux?

>>1228061 I know how to tweak shit to launch from Steam. I just find it funny that Valve doesn't have it in their client properly after so many years. It makes something that would otherwise be pretty intuitive for new users extremely confusing and complicated.

Ok, site is dead I can't post shit

>>1228412 runs fine for me, nothing horrible. seems to be on par with AMD performance and even windows.

>>1229431 What kind of framerates are you getting?

I switched from windows to cachyos a year ago and there are still a handful of rpgmaker games that I can't get to run but instead of buckling down and figuring out how to run them I just get tired and start playing something else.

Yeah, Unreal Engine, how could I forget?

>>1230308 Pic detached for whatever fucking reason

>>1229886 Setting japanese locale solved all the problems for me

Ok, newfag here and I just took the plunge yesterday and installed archlinux Every game works fine and all but what do I need to know about general security?

>>1230796 Do not run random shit from the internet

>>1227707 No anon. It is so much worse. DSCM properly installs. It even runs. But it wont *work*. The cli prompt when you finish the install has a cute little solaire emoticon. \[T]/ this only displays for a proper install. Its so jank man. I don't know how I was able to get cinders for DaSIII to work so easily.

>>1226224 When I last looked into it they hadn't added that other model format, it was just in their "planned features" because of just out outdated b3d was.

>>1229886 https://github.com/bakustarver/rpgmakermlinux-cicpoffs

Does nvidia frame gen work correctly under linux? On windows you have to enable Hardware-Accelerated GPU scheduling for it to even work (requires restart).

Trying to get Rance IV to work with Lutris. Web installer wants a floppy. I have the freeware version but I can seem to get it to play nice, no sound and interrupting prompts. I saw someone back on 4ch/lgg/ had it working and I wanted to see if he's still here and can guide me?

>>1229886 For me the Heroic Games Launcher runs rpgmaker games when lutris does not.

>>1231312 That worked for one of them. Thanks anon. The other one says libfuse3.so.3 doesn't exist and then tries to mount the library forever while counting seconds.

>>1230796 <Check arch wiki for whatever questions you have first It's good and at least it's give you basic understanding of things <Installing and configuring basic firewall is recommended <Run pacman -Syu at least once a week <Always check AUR package comment section first The shit there sometimes need special care lol

Any of you younguns using btrfs with one of them newfangled nvme drives? Is it safe enough for use yet? I've been thinking of replacing my decade old "RAID is the backup" solution of ext4 on md mirrored drives for / and /home each with just a combo of nvme + big dick disk using btrfs each and keep backups of actually important shit in cold storage. I'd like the filesystem level checksumming to know from a periodic scrub when specific files are fucked and need restoring. With ext4 and md there isn't any feedback for this.

>>1233633 i use bcachefs and it's worked for about 6 months now on this install, btrfs is way more mature

>>1233633 I use btrfs root and ext4 home combo. Been ok. Hardest part is setting the subvolumes. I, in my infinite wisdom, decide to put OpenSUSE layout on my arch install and regret it a bit now on the maintenance side. Simpler layout would've been fine.

>>1233845 I was actually hoping for bcachefs to mature faster because from my standpoint as a user with somewhat intermediate knowledge it's described to do things less retarded than btrfs on paper. When I read about btrfs a few years ago there were a few negative things that came up quite often like the way the free space allocator works and could lead to unmountable filesystems and the lower level stuff gleefully fucking up metadata when it really shouldn't. Just now I read it creates metadata in duplicate on single device setups by default because one user with an SSD had his entire btrfs get fucked by a checksum mismatch on metadata. But immediately writing two data copies onto an SSD will more than likely store data on the same NAND blocks so this seems to just work around a fundamental issue the filesystem has for dealing with errors. Bcachefs seems to be made to be rmore robust in spec, it's just that only time will tell if the actual code delivers. >>1234085 I was thinking of just ignoring the subvolume functionality since defragmenting releases reflinks and btrfs fragments easily. I'm of course not planning to defragment the NVME hosting rootfs and /home but having a core feature not take into account the major downside of the file system doesn't instill confidence in its implementation. I'd keep all my large files including chds, isos, nsps etc. on the rotating disk and not having them be fragmented out the ass would be preferable.

>>1234294 Not sure how you will utilize the backup function, are you gonna snapshotting files manually? Subvolumes is good for excluding shit from system snapshot though. Like, as default if you snapshot root, a home subvolume will be ignored unless you specify it to be snapshotted. And I don't think it is recommended to defragment ssd. Don't have much knowledge about it but that's what I read.

>>1232204 Just use the /haniho/ links from some 4cuck archive. There're flatpaks for old games.

>>1234381 I'll just backup shit manually via rsync to drives slotted in once a month or so for the purpose of making a backups. I currently have a 1TB NVME and a 8TB hard drive posted on the way. The NVME will have a 50GB partition for my Gentoo root (it's usually ~15GB including the distfiles) and a separate partition for /home since I like to have /home mounted noexec. Not sure if the NVME should be overcommitted for performance sake but I'll just leave 150GB unpartitioned in case I ever need another partition for emergencies. The 8TB disk will store all the large media files including the aforementioned console shit. Those files will only be written to once but since free space can get fragmented on btrfs I'd want to defragment or maybe mount with autodefrag to avoid file fragmentation for newly added files. But that reduplicates the reflinked data from subvolume snapshots so just using orthodox backups for everything important and ignoring the snapshot functionality makes more sense. If hard drives weren't so expensive here I'd have just bought three 8TB drives and two NVMEs to make a 2x2 bcachefs filesystem for desktop use and have that backed up to a 8TB drive with btrfs. Btrfs at the moment won't even get any general read performance benefits from RAID-1 systems unless you use the experimental kernel option to have it stripe reads to the mirrored data. By default it has one PID read from only one disk so most emulators or games using only one thread for IO use only one disk to access data. Can't believe they haven't thought to improve this until just now.

>>1234697 I dunno man, seems like you can just ext4 for that. You don't seem to need any of btrfs features

>>1234409 Thanks, will do

>>1226570 Too late. I'm in America so I wanted to get it before the tariffs. Found one for the lowest price I've seen all month.

>>1236228 give it a few months and it'll improve

I've heard that AMD GPUs are generally better for linux due to better driver support, but are AMD CPUs more preferable than Intel? There a good reason why?

maybe intel has more vulnerabilities, but both are fine and contribute to linux, intel has also a distro, not sure why.

>>1236688 Better performance, better power efficiency, and not fucking dying without bios update. Honestly I don't know why people is still considering intel right now. E cores just bloat the number on multi threaded benchmark. Then they abandoned smt on ultra series without any benefits to balance it out and cratered their performance.

>Power efficiency That's not something I've ever really cared about to be honest.

What is (sd-pam)?

>>1109334 >because linux is known to have a disproportionate amount of cheaters/bots. This has no basis in reality and no evidence. You can cheat so fucking easy in windows, its no easier in Linux.

>>1237169 i remember when Respawn Entertainment claimed this and refused to release figures

>>1237227 Kek, I too remember this. The apex backend team is either too small to anticipate the cheaters on linux or downright incompetent. They made the game unplayable on linux a few times when tinkering with the anti cheat before giving up outright and banning linux lol. I think someone was looking for a scapegoat for the failure of that hacked ALGS and linux was the lowest hanging fruit.

How do you improve audio quality on Linux? On Windows and MacOS it has a number of settings for improving sound quality if you're using headphones/speakers/surround system/etc.

>>1237641 cancer remix != improvement

>>1237861 So you can't change it? I don't know shit about alsa or pipewire.

Short version you should already have steam to deal path bs. I know I'm late and the thread is tapering off, but anyone here using nixos by chance? Previously a windows steam fag, then Arch With 0 Problems, then I made the independent decision to switch over to nixos because 'much nu arch' . Come to find nixpkgs is not like another AUR, can't build a package the way I use to and have to look for new software to get my stuff done. Put off goofing off trying to get things working, out desperation go to plebbit only to realise installing STEAM could have saved me a week and half of my life. It's my birthday too so could any other nix fags in thread please speak I can't be only one to not know steam wasn't just used for gaming on this.

>>1237641 >retarded combo of upmix+dmix dsp plugins >"improving" audio quality Lmao, are you fucking serious? Although I know similar solutions on Linux they're not that popular because average Linux user is not THAT retarded.

>>1237882 There are various settings and utilities for both alsa and pipewire that you can use to configure sound. But first of all you must define what is "improving" and lurk moar instead of bothering people.

Does anyone know how to fix the broken inputs in Platina Lab?

>>1238542 I used NixOS for a few years but I don’t know what you’re referring to with steam

>>1238542 Steam-run is not steam, but in a pinch if you need to run a binary that isn't packaged in nixpkgs, you can do it. You can also learn how containers work and use those in nixos, considering that's how software is distributed in Linux anymore, it you play a Linux native game on steam chances are it's packaged in a container runntime. That said, you probably should have stuck with arch. I use nixos, or Debian with nix depending on the situation, and it didn't take me long to figure out that I needed to learn how to package something if I needed it.
