Hello, stared using mint a few months ago, ran into an issue after installing classic WoW MoP, did it through steam, but I cant seem to find the file location of the interface folder and addon folder. Any help would be amazing.

Thank you very much in advance

I have Stellaris on GOG, and it has 30(!) DLCs. Installing this with Lutris is an absolute nightmare because I have to individually launch each setup file to install them, it's sisyphean. I recently realized how stupid I'm being after reinstalling it after an update for the fifth time, and wrote a bash script to do it for me.

You'll want to install the base game as normal, then open a terminal in the folder with your setup files (you can do this in the right click menu in nautilus on GNOME, I don't know if KDE has this feature) and input this command:

for executablefile in *.exe; do WINEPREFIX="/PATH/TO/WINE/PREFIX/INSERTPREFIXNAMEHERE" wine "$executablefile"; done

If you want to run all the installers at the same time rather than sequentially use:

for executablefile in *.exe; do WINEPREFIX="/PATH/TO/WINE/PREFIX/INSERTPREFIXHERE" wine "$executablefile" & done;

I don't recommend doing it this way but if you didn't know you could launch commands in the background like this you do now.

This is kind of basic obvious linux stuff but I have absolutely no respect for my time so i tortured myself for about 2 years doing things the hard way with lutris. I imagine a lot of people are the same.

EDIT:
If you're using Heroic, it usually makes prefix folders with capitalization and spaces, which is really annoying for this. You can get the path to the prefix directory to copy by going into the folder, opening it in the terminal and using

pwd

then CTRL-SHIFT-C to copy the directory

CTRL-SHIFT-V to paste it. CTRL-C in bash is used to send a exit signal to programs, so you have to add shift to it.

I've been dual booting my PC for a few months now (Windows 11 Pro and Kubuntu 24.04.2). I'm spending 90% of my time in Linux now although I have one issue and that's running World of Warcraft on Linux. I have Wine, Lutris and Steam/Proton installed, all up to date. I've followed many different online guides to get WoW running and the closest I've been able to get is (via Lutris), Battle.Net installed. It runs, I can authenticate but when the main client opens, every tab except "Shop" shows "Oops an error occurred" and I can go no further (ie, actually installing the game). None of the supposed fixes for this issue that I've found online have worked for me.

I could just boot into Windows when I want to play WoW but I like to have WoW on one monitor and a browser open on another playing YouTube vids, checking wowhead.com etc. I can obviously do this in Windows but dropping out of Linux is very inconvenient as that's where all of my other apps and tools now live. Yeah, a real first world problem I know.

Is there anything I MUST do in order to get WoW working properly on Kubuntu or can anyone point me towards a step by step tutorial on how to get it running properly? I'm an ex-HP-UX admin (many years ago) so I'm comfortable with UNIX and UNIX-like systems in general but all these problems suggest to me that I'm missing something fundamental that these online guides aren't mentioning.

Apologies if this subject has been done to death on here. It's my first time posting in this sub and the Reddit search function has been less than helpful.

Hey all

I am a total noob when it comes to Linux as I just got an old project PC and decided to give it a shot. Only problem is: this machine features a state-of-the-art GTX 570 and I am having major struggles trying to get a driver to work.

When installing Pop! I installed a 390 legacy driver. However, none of the nvidia console commands (like nvidia-smi) worked and I had the feeling all of my games were running on the intergrated intel card. When doing "nvidia-smi" it returned "unknown command, try installing one of the following drivers" with a list of nvidia driver versions. So, I looked up some posts and eventually just decided to purge my 390 files and try other drivers, like 450. Bad idea. Now, my whole screen is stuck at "400 x something" resolution even after re-installing the 390 drivers. Good thing is that if I now type nvidia-smi in console it recognizes the command but returns "nvidia-smu has failed because it couldn't communicate with the driver"

Sorry if the storytelling feels a bit weird, I have no idea what I am doing. I was trying to slowly learn Linux this way but this driver stuff is an inmense dive in the deep. I have no idea how to solve this. I read things about my distro being too new and "downgrading the kernel" but I have no idea where to start and if that's a good idea.

Many thanks in advance for any help

Rock Crusher is an incremental game that features a huge skill tree. In this game, you're in control of a little rock-crushing machine on a mysterious planet. Crush rocks to extract resources, use the resources to complete a huge skill tree that evolves your crusher, summons helpers, and lets you see more of the planet.

I'm going to drop a free demo on August 1. Any progress you make in the demo will carry over to the full game when it launches.

Wishlist now on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3456800/Rock_Crusher/

I'm the solo dev behind Rock Crusher, and I'm here to answer questions you have about the game :)

Consider me a 5 year old when it comes to picking up this OS, I don't even know what exactly the difference of Linux Distros are, except that they have different colors and unique wallpapers. I have no idea what GNOME even is, or other UI, literally.

But since Windows 10 support is ending, and I don't have the cash yet to get an equivalent or better GPU of AMD instead, I want to know how I could transition on a level that I don't really feel the difference between Windows and Linux "that" much like having a start menu, taskbar icons, etc. I can learn the more intricate stuff, but it's Nvidia drivers that I keep hearing stories about just being difficult to install, and I get overwhelmed easily by technical looking steps, and abbreviations that I've never heard of, but am expected to know or figure out.

So... any guidance on making a smooth transition to Linux with a PC that has intel processor & nvidia GPU?

I recently switched to linux from windows and backed up most of my stuff. However, I did make a rar file of all my Minecraft worlds, around 300gb, and I forgot to move it to a second hard drive before installing CachyOS.

I already tried R-Linux and PhotoRec to try to recover the rar file or maybe even just a partial but as I understand it I am unlikely to find anything on the nvme drive?

The important stuff was already backed up or mirrored elsewhere but there are some old stuff I will miss having. Not worth paying a specialist but still open to spending a little bit of money if really needed.

Is there anything else I could try?
