>>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 > there's nothing more to it. fxd

>>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

>>1155439 Can you post your conf, anon? I was trying to get it to work, but it kept crashing

>>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.

>>1155953 Shit just works, man

>>1156054 Great, enjoy anon

Those tentacles made me wonder If I should put this under a spoiler

>>1155735 Lmao those earth textures

>>1154110 Optimus is that laptop shit that would try to dynamically switch between the iGPU and dedicated GPU in order to save battery. It was extremely fucky on my old Precision M4600 and better left turned off.

>>1109157 how do you run cracked games through proton? I can install them just fine via Wine and apply hax, but no clue how to get any of the proton front ends to pick up the .exe files in the wine install directory. I'm running Fedora 42

>>1159396 Lutris. Add locally installed game Point it to install .exe Run Point it to the game launcher .exe after it's done installing

>>1155554 is it actually?

>installs linux for privacy, freedom and security >installs Steam

>>1161649 Steam is installed in a virtual machine with a gpu passed through to it, actually.

>>1159994 didn't work, but portproton did

>>1161649 I install steam in a chroot environment.

>>1161649 i didn't care about any of that, i just hated windows. i like the amount of control i have over my system. with goldbergemu and steamstubremover you can just 'crack' your own games, using steam simply to download them, you don't really have to compromise beyond that. it is undeniable that steam has many exclusives
