>>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

>>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.

>>1155735 Lmao those earth textures
