Slightly off-topic question.
I use grub as my boot manager and dual boot Mint and Windows 10 on two separated drives. Is it safe to completely wipe the Windows drive? I remember in the past messing with the Windows boot partition and bricking my boot, but I think in that case the boot manager active was Window's and not grub.
I'm thinking of installing Arch alongside Mint as I already use Arch on a shitty old laptop.

>>531057782
>>531029972
>>531061373
I dunno what the fuck I did, but after installing libstrangle all my games seem to be running at 60fps so I guess it is all fine now.

>>531084361
Look where your boot loader is installed. If it's on Windows drive then you should repartition your Linux drive first to make a boot partition.

>>531084361
If after figuring this out you ever decide to install Windows again in the future, I would heavily advise doing it on a separate drive.

At least from my experience, the only way to prevent Windows boot manager from messing up the Linux bootloader is to completely and physically disconnect the drive where GRUB is installed while installing Windows. Simply installing Windows on a different drive won't cut it. Even if you disable the GRUB drive via BIOS, the Windows boot manager will go out of its way to mess it up.

>>531097679
So, it just wipes NVRAM instead of making it's own entry?

>>531101425
I genuinely don't know. Throughout the years I've seen discussions on /g/ and other forums, and the most common recommendation is to just physically unplug the GRUB drive while installing Windows. I have no idea how and why Microsoft does that.

After some more testing, I think the better performance with WineD3D might have been my imagination after all. I was still getting these annoying stutters either way. What really seems to help is using SilentPatch to increase the frame rate cap and then using MangoHud or libstrangle to set the frame rate back to the original 30 fps. It's a bit ironic that I would use the patch's high frame rate feature only to undo it with another tool, but it's definitely smoother this way, so apparently the game just can't be trusted to manage its own frame timing.
And yes, I could also play most of the game at 60 fps if I want to commit to memory (or figure out the hard way) which parts are fucked by high frame rate.

Would any of the older thinkpads be able to run cs2 at ~60 fps? I haven't played cs since csgo and have heard cs2 is very intensive. Or am I just better off playing source instead?
Alternatively, has any tried out the framework laptop?

>High cpu usage causes system freezes that last anywhere from 30s to a few minutes
Anybody have an idea as to what would be the cause of this or how I can diagnose the cause myself? On EndeavourOS with cachyOS repos added. my kernel is 6.15.5-2-cachyos and my cpu is a 7800x3D if that matters.
Video unrelated.

>>531159001
apparmor + firejail

>>531163981
Huh, that's some strange shit. High CPU usage shouldn't cause system freezes. If that's not RAM/SWAP issue I would recommend updating your mobo's bios

>>531164236
>updating your mobo's bios
I already did :(
It could be a ram/swap issue still, but I'm not sure where to even begin as far as diagnosing the issue.
Oddly enough games (I was playing space marine 2 and it ran fine even though it seemed have high cpu usage) usually don't trigger it but running something purely cpu-heavy like the circuit simulation program LTspice through wine will make it much more susceptible to freezes even though that old ass program won't use more than 10% of my cpu
Forgot to mention I never got this issue on kernel 6.14, it only started with 6.15

>>531164681
Try using some scx scheduler if you're on stock scheduler. Or using different scheduler and see if that would work.
And as for debugging first step would be observing journals when that happens

>>531163981
Does it happen with games or when you're compiling shit?
I get 1-2s freezes on my 5900X when compiling programs from AUR because every core is at max usage, it doesn't happen when a single core is at max load.

>>531163981
I'd guess you're running out of RAM and don't have swap set up, so system hangs until OOM killer kicks in.

>>531171208
I can still even play games at like 70 fps while compiling on my 5900X with BORE.

Gay Ben finally fucked my ass.

Steam dropped support for Windows 8.1 a year or two back. I've still been able to play just fine all this time, only with Steam gobbling up more resources than it usually would. More recently in the past few months, some game demos and early accesses have stopped downloading midway, unable to connect to the servers.

However, today there was an update for Steamworks Common Redistributables that wont connect to the servers either. That means that most of the major games I play wont fucking launch because they need an "Update" that can't be downloaded.

A few things I wanted to ask, if it's alright.
Is EndeavourOS an alright starting OS for Linux beginners? Or should I just go with Mint?
The main games I'm looking to play are,
>War of Rights
>Halo: The Master Chief Collection
>Halo Wars: Definitive Edition
>Death Stranding

Also, I want to keep Windows 8.1 as an optional launch for nostalgia's sake (I had this OS back when my ferrets were alive)
How does that work? Like on startup does it auto-boot into Windows 8.1, then I need to relaunch into Linux? Or what?

>>531255395
what gpu and cpu do you have? halo mcc works including matchmaking, the only workaround you'll have to do is copying and pasting a file if you want to do co-op campaign with a windows/xbox player iirc. endeavour is based off arch which is probably intermediate, installing it with archinstall (or using endeavour/cachy) is easy, then doing tweaks especially if you have no prior linux knowledge can be an uphill battle at times. if you do use endeavour then plasma is very windows-like.
>dual-booting
if you look in disk management on windows, your efi partition at the start of your disk is basically the bootloader, your computers bios sees the bootloader (windows bootloader) then that boots into windows, very poor explanation. if you shrink your windows partition on your main disk assuming you only have one you can install linux in the free space and make the bootloader a priority over windows, and the linux bootloader would have an option to boot into windows. i would really pick up another ssd if you have the budget and install linux onto that, it would make dual booting very easy and windows update wont change the boot order. check out protondb for your library compatibility but a lot of stuff works now compared to when proton was first released.

I never did figure out what the fuck is up with the frame timing in this game's pre-rendered cutscenes. It might be worse when the frame rate is capped at my refresh rate, but even if I let the cutscenes run at 1000fps, they still have these little stutters. Maybe it's because the game data is on HDD storage and Wine is just shitting itself trying to read the two separate .ogg files for video and audio at the same time, but that would be rather pathetic.

This boss fight sucked, by the way. I felt like I was doing no damage at all. The advice I saw online was to spam the Earthquake attack, and that eventually worked. I should have been doing that all along, really, because it's the best attack to use if you want to look at Ayumi's ass (which is the whole point of playing this game).

>>531258708

>>531258434
>what gpu and cpu do you have?
GTX 1050 Ti & i3-7100
>then doing tweaks especially if you have no prior linux knowledge can be an uphill battle at times.
So would you say just going Mint would be better at first? Can that run Steam games well with proton?
>i would really pick up another ssd if you have the budget and install linux onto that
Thanks but I already have one; I have a 300GB HDD and a 1TB SSD, both from when I built this rig about 7 years ago. I *think* Windows is on the HDD but would need to check.

Appreciate the advice.

>>531255395
I haven't tried EndeavourOS myself, but I've heard good things about it. Personally, start with whatever you think might be the easiest to pick up. Linux Mint, as much as I don't particularly like it, is a great starting point for a beginner, as is Ubuntu or CachyOS. Just keep in mind that, while every distro functions the same on the surface, each has its own quirks that you'll have to learn. Keep the wiki for your chosen distro open, and never be afraid of using a terminal or asking for help. The Arch Wiki is also an excellent source of information regardless of what distro you're using, even if not everything outlined in its pages are applicable for your distro.
As far as games goes, everything *should* work OOTB, save for a few games you might need to tweak, or some games that don't function fully (like GTA Online not working because of BattlEye not launching properly) or, very rarely nowadays, not running at all.
As for dual booting, it can be as simple as changing what boot device you select in your BIOS or reinstalling Windows first, then installing Linux, and setting your BIOS to start GRUB2. GRUB2, by the way, usually generates a config that'll allow you to boot into Windows over Linux; just select and go.
Best of luck, anon!

>>531259551
also since you have 2 drives, if you make the 1tb ssd your linux disk , you'd basically have to wipe it, or resize the partition on the disk to install linux over it or on the free space in case you have files on there that you need to back up and do not want to lose. there's also a guide on having your linux install play windows games on a windows formatted disk but i would not recommend it, read the disclaimers
>https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows
you can use rufus to put the disk image of endeavour/mint onto a usb to test out what it's like. i dont know if those distros ship nvidia's proprietary driver that has much better performance vs the open source one in the kernel but just see what ui you like and go from there
>nvidia 10xx
bad directx 12 performance, check pcgamingwiki to see if any games you have use that api and expect a performance hit on them
>old intel cpu
if you want better performance you can disable security mitigations (decent performance boost) and watchdog timer (little performance boost) by adding `mitigations=off nowatchdog` to your kernels boot options but that would be something you do if you feel comfortable. good luck!

>>531259551
Also your 1050ti has 4gb VRAM right? I think DXVK (converts DirectX to Vulkan) has slightly worse VRAM management vs native DirectX on Windows but I haven't tested it, I hope you don't have 2GB VRAM GPU anon.

>>531255395
When you install endeavouros or linux mint it will just ask you if you want to install it alongside your existing windows. When you boot into your computer you will have a menu where you can select linux or windows.

>>531259043
I actually do see some very minor stutters around 0:44 in the Xbox 360 recording here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YWpwGSPCkI
but it's still a lot smoother than what I'm getting (attached).
My computer's old, but it's not like I'm seeing 100% CPU usage or anything, so it doesn't seem like a purely performance-related issue. I've had some occasional stutters in gameplay too (which probably CAN be chalked up to my computer being shit), but nothing like this. It's purely a video playback issue.
The cutscenes are in a "video" folder, separated into video files and language-specific audio files, both in .ogg format, which I've never seen before so it might be part of the problem. When I play just the video portion of this cutscene in a video player, I actually see minor stutters like in the YouTube video, so the video files themselves are probably a bit fucked as well — but obviously what I'm getting when I run the game is worse.

>>531259964
Thank you.

>>531260645
>you'd basically have to wipe it
Oh that would really suck. I might get another SSD if it came to it.
File storage is something I've been confused about from the get go. So I would need to install Steam again; this time on Linux? And if I wanted to keep Steam on Windows 8.1, I'd have Steam doubly installed?
>bad directx 12 performance, check pcgamingwiki to see if any games you have use that api and expect a performance hit on them

Understood, thank you again.

>>531261230
I remember it as having 4GB since I doubt I would've gone for the 2GB version in 2018.
I checked and it says 8061MB.

>>531262670
>So I would need to install Steam again; this time on Linux? And if I wanted to keep Steam on Windows 8.1, I'd have Steam doubly installed?
Correct. Thankfully, you don't have to reinstall all your games (except in rare cases), but if you're running them off of a NTFS drive, you'll have to use the fixes from >>531260645.
As an aside, I *have* heard that Steam under WINE runs fine, but personally I'd rather run Steam natively since the option is available.

>>531262670
That's your system memory, is the sticks of ram you have in your PC. If it's only 1x8gb you can get another stick (should be ddr4) for cheap. You'd be installing Linux fresh, so you'd be downloading the Linux version of Steam and other programs, not everything has a Linux version so check alternative to.net for other programs, Firefox, Brave and Chrome are cross platform so that makes shitposting easier. The only Windows programs you would be running are games through proton (Valve's wine fork for gaming) or other programs you add to steam and use proton on, or wine from the terminal or a GUI programs like Lutris, Heroic ect.

>>531264551
I would need to reinstall the Steamworks games for sure though, right? Or would WINE allow Steamworks to update even though Windows 8.1 wont?

>>531262414

Damn, quality really took a hit in webm conversion that time. Maybe I shouldn't have recorded at full resolution.

>>531265572
That I'm not sure about. I assume that the Steam works redistributables have their own Linux counterpart for games that do run natively and for the client itself.

>>531265656
>I'm sorry for your loss
Thank you.
Only reason I'm considering Steam with WINE is because I had this stuff installed when they were around. Will probably just keep it installed on 8.1 and reinstall it on Linux, too.

>>531266972
You can copy your games from your windows install to your new Linux install, its just dragging and dropping your installed games into the correct folder, then restarting steam, or reverifying the files integrity on Linux steam

>>531267220

You mean it just resets your desktop session? Or your whole computer actually does a hard reset?
When I had the latter issue, it turned out I needed a new PSU. (Apparently it couldn't handle the power draw of my GPU when running games anymore. I was afraid that maybe the GPU itself or the motherboard was the problem, but I tried replacing the PSU first and that worked.) Anyway if your PC is doing a hard reset then it's probably time to look at your hardware instead of your Bottles settings.

It doesn't turn off. It just restarts very similarly to the restart function that just comes out of nowhere.
Maybe you're right and the PSU might be a problem.

Might have to use wine or even bottles to run it but hopefully it goes well.

I will admit I consider my Linux knowledge to be very bare bones. I'm not a tech savvy guy I just wanted to avoid moving to Windows 11 but Windows 10 support is leaving.

>>531492629
>Downloading the gigabyte control center.
???
Don't your vendor just provide bios file which you upload to a thumbstick and then flash from bios itself?
Also, if this so-called "gigabyte control center" is supposed to update bios from OS you may not bother since it won't work.

>>531492629
You usually update your BIOS by downloading a file from the motherboard manufacturer, putting this file on a thumbstick, then going to your BIOS and choosing an option to update from a file. In some BIOS, you can also pick the update file directly from SATA or NVMe drives.

I'm pretty sure you can't update bioses with wine.

Finally got the last piece of the skydiving armor.
Also, when moving this fast there are a few stutters here and there. Not ideal, but perfectly tolerable imo.

>>531492629
bro, if your computer is randomly restarting I would advise to NOT update until you are sure it is not a PSU problem, otherwise you will corrupt your bios if your computer power down during the updtate.

My computer is also doing something similar, but it is restarting if I am not playing anything, I think a capacitor or PWM on mobo is bad since I tested on 3 different PSUs and the problem persist.

what do you guys use for video capture and making webms?
I'm guessing OBS for the first, right?

>>531424541
wow, I never heard of these games before, interesting.

>>531512486
I use gpu screen recorder with replay, then lossless cut to cut it (instantly, without re-encoding) and then I have a script that automatically makes the webm under 4mb which I have added to the right-click context menu in my file manager so I can just right-click a video to convert it to a 4chan friendly webm without audio as well.

That's it?
I remember having trouble with this level before, and I don't remember why. But going into it this time, I knew there was some kind of gimmick, so I just tried attacking everything I could see except Lucifer himself (namely his sword and some boulders falling from the sky).
I just checked a walkthrough and apparently you're supposed to shoot the boulders into him and then shoot his sword back into him when he throws that. I wasn't even aware of what I was doing though. He was dead in one attack cycle.

I slightly regret playing it in 4:3 instead of just installing the widescreen HUD fix mod. But the game's story is total garbage and they covered up Eve's boobies, so there's really no point in watching these scenes anyway.

Maybe I should spoiler the ending cutscene images too, but again, I seriously hope nobody plays the game for this.
The main character looks like such a dope.

Well I just did it again and it took more effort this time so maybe it was a fluke. Still pretty easy, but also I forgot that this is Insomnia difficulty, lmao.

Completely forgot about Battle Out of Hell. Most of Painkiller's sequels, stand-alone expansions, or whatever you call them are ass, but I remember this one being not bad, and it's already included in Black Edition so I might as well play it.
The changed character appearances are very jarring when you go straight from the end of Painkiller into this. Alastor is especially different but I didn't grab a screenshot of him in either game.

>title is Battle Out of Hell
>out of Hell and back in Purgatory by the end of the opening cutscene
Reported to Gaben for false advertising and fraud.
>Eve (now with inexplicably reddish hair) is no longer topless
Now that's just adding insult to injury.

Apparently it works if you point it to existing prefix, it only hangs when populating an empty folder. Probably a combination of outdated lutris and WoW64 wine or idk.

My recent screenshots' FPS counter was weirdly offset to the left compared to older screenshots, so I spend 10 minutes trying to figure out why. It's fixed now, just by reordering my presets (specifically by making sure the preset shown in >>531267425 isn't first). And now that the preset showing all the temperatures isn't first, its text is slightly further to the right than shown in that video when I switch to it. Fucking MangoHud. Apparently it has a problem with changing text size or something.

I am not the smartest.
At least it was easy to avoid souls in the big-ass arena at the end.

Oops. I meant 330, which is 66 times 5, not 333 which would imply a demon morph every 66.6 souls. As you can see, I am very good at math.
>level exit is on the throne overlooking the arena
Absolute kino.

I always ignored these Zora weapons due to their low base damage, but I decided to test their double damage buff when Link is wet. At first, I was impressed because I never destroyed a Flux Construct II in such a fast single burst. But after a few more post fight tests, I realized that that damage was without the double damage from the wet effect, as the effect applied by that fruit only lasts around 7-8 seconds, and it took me 14 seconds to land the first hit on the boss.
I still think these Zora weapons are pretty niche. You either have to be fighting in the rain or taking advantage of Sidon's sage power (I haven't unlocked it yet), which like all powers can be really clunky to activate in combat at times.

Lutris often requires a lot of tard wrangling in my experience.

>>531879680
>"b" in "=n,b" was causing some kind of problem
that's strange, n,b means "load windows (n)ative .dll (i.e. a .dll file from, for example, game folder), if that fails use wine's (b)uiltin". So normally b should do nothing.
With Lutris, start by disable lutris runtime, it does more harm than good in my experience.

>Also, any idea why I have so much trouble running games on lutris? I tried Two point hospital and on lutris it runs at 5 fps, like if my GPU was locked since it was at 100% usage, but when I added on steam it ran just fine.
This is a shot in the dark but if you have an integrated graphics chip then maybe Lutris was failing to select your GPU as the desired graphics device for gaming. Even in some programs (like Bottles) that have an explicit switch for using discrete graphics, that switch is dumb and will just use the non-default device, and so will do the opposite of what it says if your more powerful GPU is the default. I don't know about Lutris though.

Beat the 4th level but fucked up on the first boss.

>pink blobs are immune to bullets

The sword is the same button as the gun, by the way. So if you want to kill a boss with the sword, you need to get suicidally close to make sure that you don't accidentally fire a bullet (which is what happened on the first boss in this run). It's funny when the simplest things add a bit of depth to a game.

Level 5 boss fucked me up good (because I went into it with no extra lives and almost no health left).

just beat ys II chronicles +
sad its over but I liked ys I & II a lot
II had way better characters/story though its world design is more linear (though the dungeons do not feel linear at all and are giant mazes with branching paths) but overall it left a way bigger impression compared to ys I. I feel like bump combat could be modernized with a few gimmick and used in an indie game to great success. Its pretty satisfying at least in this remake. I have a feeling original ys I & II aren't as enjoyable to control (and I know ys II chronicles + is balanced better and makes fireball less OP).
Used the native version for ys II and I occasionally had game crashes when alt tabbing back and forth a lot but not too often. I saved often enough to where it wasn't an issue. Maybe it'd be better via proton but I didn't bother.

Good question, but I don't know the answer because I generally don't charge stuff from my computer.

This is for a 10+-year-old motherboard so I don't know if that's a standard feature or whatever.
Did it "just work" on Windows? You might try looking at the BIOS settings either way, but if there is a BIOS setting then I wouldn't really expect the OS to make a difference, unless Linux's "sleep" mode puts the computer into a more powered-down state than Windows' "sleep" does.

Is there a video or a simple guide for how to create and manage your wine prefixes? I've never really understood how adding and enabling a prefix worked nor how to switch them out easily. I'm trying to play a simple porn game and the performance sucks even though this is a recently built upper-end pc.

>>532136840
Prefix is just any folder, if it's empty wine will populate it. In steam, any game use separate prefix. In launchers, you set it through GUI. In command line, you set WINEPREFIX="path/to/prefix/" for any wine-related operation using that prefix.

>>532124563
That looks like a kino location. Why couldn't the entire game look like that?

>>532136840
Alright I think I know what's happening.
Why the FUCK did they make it so I can only use wow64 now? wow64 sucks and is experimental, no? I'm getting awful performance. The game is 32-bit, and yet I'm disallowed from creating a 32-bit prefix. Absolutely disgusting, I want to murder whoever came up with that idea.

>>532142827
Are you on Arch using system wine? Try using Valve's Proton

>wine: WINEARCH is set to 'win32' but this is not supported in wow64 mode.
What. The. Fuck. Fuck you Fuck you Fuck you!

>>532143158
You don't have to make 32-bit wine prefix for 32-bit apps, you can still use 64-bit wine prefix just fine.

>>532143278
Yes, but it runs like shit and it's a simple visual novel. That shouldn't run like shit, should it? It even says here, "you're in wow64, therefore your game will run like shit"
>>532143010
Alright, let me try that.

>>532144000
>That shouldn't run like shit, should it?
You're using wine with new experimental wow64 that has troubles with 32-bit opengl applications right now

>>532144581
Yes, and I want it to stop forcing me to use wow64. Why the fuck am I forced to use that shit now? It wasn't like that previously.
I could uninstall reinstall wine without it, however that's done, but I'm also pretty sure I'll fuck something up if I do so.
>>532143010
If I create a prefix with proton, is there a chance, and I mean any chance at all, that it might interfere with my save file in another game? I'm really close to completion in one steam game now and when I added a new prefix before with wine I can tell some games stopped working after switching back.

>>532145535
>If I create a prefix with proton, is there a chance, and I mean any chance at all, that it might interfere with my save file in another game?
Proton should upgrade prefix without any issues but if you're afraid just backup the saves. Afaik those japanese porn games place save files within game's directory so it shouldn't nuke saves as long as it doesn't nuke the game itself which is very unlikely.

>>532136840
Wine automatically creates the folder to the WINEPREFIX environment variable and uses that as the prefix. If it's not set then it uses $HOME/.wine.
So you can just do this to set a prefix:

export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-hentai
wine .exe

this also works with tools like winecfg and winetricks

>>532136840
https://www.vnwiki.xyz/
Especially: https://www.vnwiki.xyz/linux/wineprefixes.html

If you're letting Steam run Proton then it should make a separate prefix for each game, so your saves for other Steam games should be fine unless you do something insane like rm -r the entire compatdata directory.
As for Arch updating to something that doesn't work yet, that's why I use Mint :^)

>>532142827
You can use >>532147672
And launch the games like
>WINEPREFIX=/path/to/32-bit/prefix /path/to/wine-x86/bin/wine start /unix /path/to/eroge/game.exe

What a big bird

I've tried CS2 and holy shit with that amount of cheaters it's completely unplayable. Also, fullscreen issue still isn't fixed which probably could be fixed by shipping updated version of SDL lol

What's wrong with libreoffice?

>>532329079
Its absolute dog shit. Its hard to even know where to begin with where it just can't live up to MS Office, which unfortunately the world revolves around if you've got a corporate job.
I say this as a Linux user.
I just have a Win10 VM with a copy of Office 2019 installed to take care of that when I need.

>>532330124
thank you Lord for allowing me to be a NEET and never touch MS Office.
>absolute dog shit
idk bro, maybe you're just used to eating jeet cloud slop or haven't used libreoffice in forever? I am curious why you consider it dogshit tho, like it edits documents? What else do you want it to do?

>>532330124
MS Office is absolute garbage. But yes, corporations rely on it. For a corporation you can use OnlyOffice instead which works much better with MS Office than libreoffice.

>>532329079
As a generic word processor? Nothing.
As a pixel-perfect-formatting-compatible drop-in replacement for MS Office? Not my problem.
But judging by how the pictured post was written, I would guess either that he doesn't know LibreOffice exists or that he actually wants it pre-installed on SteamOS in particular. The fact that there are multiple things wrong with the post right out of the gate is what makes it so funny. Do you tell him that he should install a desktop distribution if he wants to do word processing? Or do you tell him that Microsoft Word isn't the only word processor? I don't even know how to set him straight.

good practices like keeping a backup of your files on a separate drive should be encouraged broadly too so the switch becomes easier.

the normie who has all of his files scattered across a single drive is right to be intimidated by reinstalling his OS. he can't reasonably do so until his current system is cleaned up

No issues running this one on linux, I had to increase the resolution scaling to 75 to get a better picture quality, tho the game still needs proper optimization work.
And I'm sure they are using an outdated version of FSR/TSR.

>>532427356
Also, I don't think HDR is working properly. Game is too dark and bright parts aren't peak bright. But from the color of MangoHUD I see game reporting hdr surface so it's must be emulators bug rather.

I think I might have been too destructive in the liberation missions in Just Cause, because the rebels (who are on my side) are attacking me now. Saving and loading didn't help. It's basically the same problem the pictured forum post is describing. Dude never got any replies, lmao.
Fortunately I kept multiple saves, and one of my older ones seems fine. I'll go back to doing story missions now, but if the game is so jank that it inevitably gets fucked up at some point, then maybe I'll move on to Just Cause 2 without finishing this one.

>>532793760
>destroy everything on sight

kek.
But it's kind of fucked that a save file can just be ruined forever. If you've fucked up so hard that the game is unplayable then it should just be a lose state and send you back to before that happened. Like when I land my helicopter too hard and it explodes and I spawn back at the base. I'm alive again after that happens, not in an unfixable state of constantly exploding forever.

Better for off-road than it looks. Goes right over boulders.

Most realistic video game physics of 2006. The big-ass wheels make it float. It's useless because I can't move, but most other vehicles would sink and then explode.

btw I think I squished some of the dudes from the gang that gifted me this monster truck.
Meanwhile a rocket almost killed a parrot.
I don't think they were shooting at me. The game seems to like spawning factions that hate each other around me while I'm driving so that I see some action and/or get caught in the crossfire.

Tux is happy that it's not his fault, but I'm still mad.
Some early comments on this Steam forum thread suggest it might be caused by the Steam overlay, but it turns out I already had that disabled.

Ironic since the mainstream games I play work fine on Linux with my Nvidia card, and some even have native support.

>>532887990
Sure, but the fact that a lot of mainstream games work is just extra, like pissing and shitting on the freshly dug grave of his dead-on-arrival take on non-mainstream games. The original context 4 posts back was (regarding Fortnite)
>Imagine when you are uncapable of running the most famous and played game in the world you want to convince me you can run the offstream shit i play.
which seems to be implying that if the most mainstream game doesn't work then less popular games won't work either, which is obviously not just wrong but damn wrong. Maybe he's one of those people who thinks Valve had to tune Proton manually for every game it runs.

>>532887175
I find it interesting how so many normies are like "I need steamOS before I'll switch to linux!" Like Bazzite isn't right there and like SteamOS isn't just a spin of Arch

>>532890723
They think the hypothetical big support from big company will fix all the hypothetical issues they never experienced because they haven't tried Linux yet.
If there's ever a generic desktop release of SteamOS, it will be interesting to see how many of them still hate it for not being an actual Windows clone and have a meltdown over the fact that it's just Linux like they've been told for years, and how many of them like it but don't see they were wrong about Linux and instead reassure themselves that all the things they could have done on any Linux distro for years are only possible because it's SteamOS.
It's always funny to see

I beat the mission, and didn't have any more crashes once I stopped trying to beat it by destroying targets from the air, but holy FUCK it was annoying. At one point it saved a checkpoint just as I crashed a stolen jeep into a boulder, so I had to start by backing up every time I retried.

Shit is really addictive ngl

>>532883725
This is why we need to gatekeep Linux. If it becomes too popular, then we won't be able to assume "not a GNU/Linux issue" just from the fact that the issue was documented outside of Linux forums. Imagine if any random Steam user who didn't mention Linux might have actually been using Linux. It would be a nightmare. The presumption of Windows as the default OS is invaluable for troubleshooting (or, rather, for not troubleshooting when you can say "oh so that's just how the game is" and leave it be).

Their tactics could use some work.
Not that it would matter when I'm practically invincible as long as there aren't helicopters shooting missiles at me.

I just can't get the obsession with Lossless Scaling. Do people really like cheap up scaling algorithm and fake frames?

It's a shame that compatibility is an eternal uphill battle (even on Windows if you're not buying remasters, see the fact that PCGW exists etc.) and Linux is eventually going to have its own repeat of macOS's 32bitpocalypse (while Reddit users cheer it on because they have some vague notion that killing an old thing is le progress but haven't really thought it through or don't understand it at all).

>32-bit packages are BAD because maintaining them is more work for some developer somewhere
>Stop Killing Games is BAD because planning for end-of-life is more work for some developer somewhere
Same "look at me I'm such a good boy that I will own nothing and be happy" energy.
As an end user, I am in favor of anything that would benefit the end user, and how much work it requires is literally not my problem. Even if I can understand the other side's position, it's not my place to advocate for it. I use 32-bit packages, and when maintainers ask if it's okay to remove them, I will proudly submit my "fuck no" as is my right. If they don't listen then so be it, but at least I didn't preemptively concede like some kind of bootlicking cuckold.

Fuck going to try XWayland after the new update and hope it's not a game issue.

so you can solve it with wine but it needs to be re-compiled?

That's one way to get a ride.

You need to patch it and then recompile, look up wine TKG.

Actually it's no big deal since zen5 reporting power through rapl now just like Intel and mangohud git has support for this.

So I've tried to use Lutris with firejail again and it's a complete clusterfuck. Xdg desktop portal file picker just doesn't work so I had to use gtk 3 native file picker. Umu launcher also refuses to work because apparently some required syscalls are blocked and I don't know which. Sounds like just to make this shit work I have to write a new lutris profile from scratch. All I want is to hide my home folder from windows crap, I don't care about dbus filters and other Linux specific shit. I guess I should investigate systemd hardening.

you can try using bubblewrap, it's what conty uses which I've used for a bit to hide my home folder from steam and lutris

Run winecfg, or select wine configuration from lutris GUI, and there in "drives" section remove Z:. Then go to prefix folder and make sure Documents and such are folders and not symlinks to your home directories.

I feel this one will also need 10k parameters to work properly but at least it looks much more realistic than other solutions. I really liked the simplicity of flatpak sanboxing yet I don't like it using runtime libraries and drivers.

>Just grep the source for "wayland" and you'll see what I mean.
understandable

>>533246152
When people say "wayland works fine" they dont understand the hacks and undefined behaviors software need to do to make it seem that way https://github.com/Etaash-mathamsetty/wine-valve/commit/752151c7438850613a68f1e94f865ce45068c0c8

>I don't like it using runtime libraries and drivers
yeah I'd prefer to just use my package manger for everything

>I feel this one will also need 10k parameters to work properly
here's a quick test where it uses your entire filesystem and devices like normal, but instead uses $custom_home as your home folder

./bwrap-test lutris

if the folder exists lutris will create new config files in there
but I suppose with bwrap you'd normally try to set up something more secure than that though

>>533246616
Wayland indeed works fine, all the hacks you see are made so applications could behave like in older windowing systems. Games and emulators shouldn't have any problems with Wayland in theory. On practice developers try to do some retard shit that isn't compatible with Wayland and end up users having bad experience.
For games you don't need to position your windows and you don't need to know on which output your game must go: all these things should be managed by compositor, and it will tell you all the necessary information.
I may understand when abandonware and things like wine need hacks, but there's no reason for actively maintained software to do this shit.
