Automating creating Wine prefixes without mime associations and locations symlinks
Made a script for automating this, since there is no simple scriptable way of doing it with winecfg alone.

Firefox completely unusable
Hello, I was wondering if anyone else encountered this issue and might have a fix.
The issue I'm dealing with is really stuttery performance and video playback that might as well be a slideshow. Other web browsers work completely fine.
For context I'm running Kubuntu 24.10, kernel 6.14, Mesa 25.0.2, Plasma 6.1.5 on Wayland.
My CPU is a Ryzen 7 5800X and my GPU is a RX 9070 XT.

Linux Gaming vs Windows 11 on Intel Arc B580 at 1080p and 1440p | EndeavourOS Vs Windows 11
For Linux gamers who play Roblox, I made a masterpiece(s)!
So like one year ago, I wanted to buy some Linux tux accessories for my avatar, but they weren't any, and after UGC program got public on Roblox, I thought I should upload it. Since I didn't have an exact model/texture I had to make ones from scratch, fortunately I found a way to skip the uploading fees :) and uploaded them for free.
TUX MERCH:
SPECIAL FOR ARCH LINUX:

Also, quick question on the other side - Has anybody found a way to play Roblox on Linux after Roblox update, and the sober broke down?

Jagged Alliance 2 v1.13
Hello, I wanted to play the classic JA2 since I never got the chance when I was younger.
I know there is the Straciatella way of playing that works flawlessly, however I did want to check out the 1.13 fanpatch and I do not believe they are compatible.
I tried installing 1.13 via Lutris preconfigured option https://lutris.net/games/jagged-alliance-2/
But the links in this installer do not work, as they link to Jenkins that is not being updated anymore. I did find the necessary files on github (at least I think so). However the game is not starting as it requests a 16bpp color, which, well, my modern OS does not provide I guess? I'm running EndeavourOS.
Did I screw up with the installation and I have just sourced the wrong files? Anybody had luck running JA2 1.13 on Linux?

How does the native version run WORSE than the Windows version😭?
Not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this. I'm in my 'buy random indie story games people recommend online and play them' era. I have bought a pretty old unpopular game called 'Kona'. To my surprise, this random story game actually has a Linux version.
I ran it and it was stuttering and not smooth at all. I thought something was wrong with my pc until i set compatibility mode with GE proton to force the use of the windows version and voila, smooth as expected from a game made back in 2016.
I'm pretty sure this is because the developers focused on the windows version and didn't optimize the Linux version at all since I have played other games that had a Linux version and ran just fine. Let me know if you have experienced something similar to this.
Btw since I can play game smoothly now I can really recommend it. Great story, not too hard and not too easy to play and it overall has that adventurous and mysterious feeling and look. Was definitely worth the 3$
Feel free to share your thoughts

What should I run?
I love Linux, I use it as my main OS on my laptop and have for years now. It's a Thinkpad T480s. (Of course it is). I just use it for coding, so really just VS Code and Chrome/Firefox. I haven't installed anything else on it.
But now I'm looking into installing it on my main desktop which is where I game, record covers, edit and even stream. I typically code on my laptop but I would like to also do it on my main machine and honestly leave Windows fully if possible. I just don't know many alternatives to programs I might need to use which aren't many.
I have a semi-interesting use case and was wondering what you guys thought.
My specs & equipment are the following:
- Ryzen 7 5700x
- Radeon 7800 XT
- 32GB DDR4 3300Mhz Ram
- Volt 1 audio interface
- Elgato HD60X
Is this feasible? I really only play WoW now, maybe Guild Wars 2 and Monster Hunter Wilds. A few indie games and some Steam Deck verified titles. I would also like to develop games but Godot works fine I believe.
I haven't tried editing on any Linux distro but I do hear people have issues. Is my card supported by Davinci Resolve? What do I need to do to get it working etc. Would I run into issues trying to record my voice using Reaper which is what I use on Windows? and of course, would I run into issues streaming. Any input will help! You can also suggest a distro if you want, I'll try everything I can

Game either silent crashes or just doesn’t load when using bottles
I’ve been using Lutris for the past 2 years and while it didn’t really fall short during that, when I tried to customize certain stuff or run multiple .exe in the same wine prefix everything started to fall apart, and dependencies are a disaster and everyone have been recommending bottles like crazy so I decided to try it.
I installed the WINE GE runner and tried to run a game which kept silently crashing in the background. After a while of testing and reading the docs I realized that I must place my game inside the prefix? And after that the game just launches a small splash screen I’ve never seen before and then just crashes. (Tried with multiple games with similar weird results)
I’m not sure where the issue is and why I can’t seem to use it properly. I’ve tried a ton and it’s such a hassle always copying the game inside the prefix to try out different games, so I was wondering what I may be doing wrong or if there id an extensive guide on how exactly to use it.

Gaming recommendations
Hi all,
In about a month I'll need a new home computer. I play games for entertainment, and I program stuff for fun and work. I'm strongly considering not putting Windows on it this time.
What should I be aware of that might change my mind?
My old machine has a 6700K processor, 32 GB ram and a Nvidia 3080. The latter is the 3rd GPU of the machine.
It still runs windows 10 and Ubuntu latest (updating has worked for the last 10 years).
I will use Ubuntu because I've used it for almost 20 years now.
Please be brutally honest here about the hardware and software limitations. No negative answers here means I won't trust it.

Question Regarding AMD Drivers on Linux
I began using Linux close to two years ago, and I have generally used Nvidia GPUs as my PC had it before I switched, so of course I've used the proprietary Nvidia drivers. I've heard that with AMD you don't need to install drivers as they're baked into the Linux kernel, same for Intel. However I had another system with a Ryzen CPU in it, and I wasn't able to game on it until I installed AMD drivers. Was I simply misinformed, or does the gaming using the CPU require drivers where having a dedicated GPU wouldn't or something?
