distro: Arch Linux; wine: 10.13-1; lutris: 0.5.19-6; files: fitgirl repack

Tried installing nfs most wanted using wine on lutris and the setup wizard opened up but after agreeing to everything and choosing a custom directory the installation starts up but has 0 progress and it stays that way.

It also doesnt allow me to cancel the installation and i have to reboot everytime i want to exit it.

Im new to installing games via repacks and any help is appreciated

I added a photo of the intallation window. Couldn't take a ss since the installer was the only thing i was able to control

Is anyone else have terrible performance in CS2? Recently I have been getting between 30-45 fps on CS2. I am on Fedora 42 using an Ryzen 5 3600 and RX6600. I wonder if this is a recent update but I am not sure. The only "fix" I can find is to restart and even that doesn't even last.

Since the GG app isn't natively supported, I've just been sort of dealing with as is since I made the switch. But the more I play the more I miss having the extra mouse buttons customized. I pretty much always had them set to 3 specific keys, then just change the game settings to use those for things. The problem is that the default for the extra buttons is F1, F2, and F3, which often get used for other things.

TL;DR - is there a way I can edit what the extra buttons do on my Steelseries Rival 5 without the GG app?

Dashboard

Hey folks, for the past couple of months I've been working on a free and open-source app which bridges the gap between Linux and Windows even further. This is how WinBoat was born, and I'm really excited to share it with all of you.

Setup Screen

It's a passion project of mine, I wanted to create something that both new folks moving over from Windows to Linux and folks with more advanced requirements could use. Something with a polished interface and well designed integrations.

Apps Page

WinBoat uses Docker and KVM underneath the hood, and because it runs real Windows, you can use any Windows app pretty much. FreeRDP is used for compositing windows onto your Linux desktop. You can move, resize, and drag them around like you'd do with any other window. WinBoat takes some inspiration from WinApps (it's an awesome project, you should check it out) but takes a different approach when it comes to UI/UX, automation, and features.

Native Windows

If you're interested please check out winboat.app and join our Discord community. 😄
Should you happen to have any questions, please leave a comment and I'll try to answer you.

Features

• 🎨 Elegant Interface: Sleek and intuitive interface that seamlessly integrates Windows into your Linux desktop environment, making it feel like a native experience
• 📦 Automated Installs: Simple installation process through our interface - pick your preferences & specs and let us handle the rest
• 🚀 Run Any App: If it runs on Windows, it can run on WinBoat. Enjoy the full range of Windows applications as native OS-level windows in your Linux environment
• 🖥️ Full Windows Desktop: Access the complete Windows desktop experience when you need it, or run individual apps seamlessly integrated into your Linux workflow
• 📁 Filesystem Integration: Your home directory is mounted in Windows, allowing easy file sharing between the two systems without any hassle
• ✨ And many more: Smartcard passthrough, resource monitoring, and more features being added regularly

Tech Stack

• Electron & NodeJS (App)
• Vue (Frontend)
• Xel Toolkit & Tailwind (UI Frameworks)
• Golang (Guest Server Backend)
• Docker (Guest Host)

I have spent hours trying to get helldivers 2 to launch to no avail. It used to work perfectly fine and I have many hours of playtime but I took a long break and when I went back to it it shows playing for a couple of seconds and then the play button immediately pops back up.

Specs:

Arch linux

7900xtx

5700x3d

32GB ram

I looked through protondb and didn't find anything that helped, tried various versions of proton and proton GE, reinstalled helldivers completely after verifying files didn't work. I'm still a linux noob so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have xdg-desktop-portal installed already
My user is the owner of the file partition
I have launched Steam from terminal using flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam -command

I have put in the command library_folder_add /path/to/folder
I am getting the error message "Failed mounting that path"

In the terminal it says Couldn't write /mnt/{bunch of numbers and letters}/.steam_exec_test.sh: No such file or directory

Why can't I add the other hard drive as a steam library?

I am on Pop OS and installed Steam through the Pop Shop.

Greetings!

In an attempt to squeeze a little more performance out of my rig, I've been trying to get gamemode running. Been at this for the last few hours - pretty sure I have less hair on my head than when I started. What's left is turning grey.

I was able to successfully install gamemode using Feral's github guide. It successfully passes all tests with gamemoded -t. I have added my user account to the gamemode group (and confirmed it shows up when running "groups" in command line). I have started and enabled the service in systemctl ("systemctl --user start gamemoded" and "systemctl --user enable gamemoded"). Yet when I run gamemoded -s, it always states its inactive. systemctl also reports that it's active, but also deactivated:

[priest@HOMEONE ~]$ systemctl --user status gamemoded
● gamemoded.service - gamemoded

Running gamemoded -s also results in an "inactive" result. For grins and giggles, I added gamemoderun %command% to my Steam titles, and GOverlay also reports gamemode is offline while in-game. My 1% lows are absolutely horrible, even on low graphics with older games. I get that the RX 7600 ain't the best card ever, but something is obviously wrong with the settings / config when my 1% lows are around 15 ~ 20 fps, with my average being close to 60.

Any idea what to try next? Specs:

AMD Ryzen 7800x3D
64 GBs DDR5-6400, G.Skill Royal
XFX Swft 210 - AMD RX 7600
ASrock X670E Lightning PG

EndeavourOS w/ latest packages/kernel as of this writing
KDE desktop enviro.

Hello everyone,

I’m currently running Arch Linux with Hyprland on my laptop. The laptop has both an Intel iGPU and an Nvidia dGPU.

• I'd like to keep Linux running on the Intel iGPU.
• I want to pass through the Nvidia dGPU to a Windows VM, so that Windows can make full use of it.

Has anyone here set up something similar? Which guide or documentation would you recommend that covers this use case (iGPU for host, dGPU for VM on a laptop)?

I’ve come across various VFIO passthrough tutorials, but most seem focused on desktops rather than laptops with hybrid graphics. Ideally, I’m looking for a resource that directly applies to this setup.

Any guidance, experience, or pointers to the right guide would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

I was already considering linux after messing around with my steam deck, but I didn't like the idea of learning a whole new os. After the most recent windows update, which was I forced to install, was reportedly bricking sdd's it was the final straw. Install was smooth, I tried to install steam via the terminal, which didn't work, it said some binaries were missing. So I tried the package manager, no dice. Considering I hadn't actually done anything yet and the install was very quick I decided to just reinstall the whole OS, and then download steam from the package manager, which did work. I had some other small issues getting openRGB and Mangohud to work, but other than that it's been very smooth. Ghost of Tsushima is almost perfect and doesn't seem to have the same memory leak issues as windows, and Helldivers 2 had some stuttering at the beginning but it smoothed out after a few minutes of playing.

Overall i'm very pleased with my experience of gaming on linux!
