Problem with FS2020 installer
I am having problems with the MSFS2020 installer when running through Proton.
I already have the game content installed on one of my removable disks, but I can't select the directory media/user/T7.
Question - how do I map the directory to this path so I can select the game folder in the installer?
Those disks on the screenshot (D, E) are just empty.
I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 and Proton experimental.

Frame Gen (The Post Processing Kind)
I've got multiple PCs in house, one Fedora, one Ubuntu, one Arch, an ugly frankenstein MacOS, and three with Windows LTSC
Some are dedicated for work, others for gaming (but never both)
Lossless Scaling has made gaming on Windows much more comfortable on the eyes, and although Frame Gen isn't fantastic everywhere, I play mostly "dad games" such as Battletech and Command and Conquer
Frame Gen, especially on much much much older devices, has blown my mind, suddenly playing a game where the GPU can only reach 30fps isn't an issue anymore
In terms of the application itself, I am not interested in scaling, only the Frame Gen aspect of it
Now I already know the answer (the answer is NO at the moment), but what I'm looking for is direction
Meaning, if and when a linux version of framegen come out, where am I to direct my attention and wait attentively? Do I stare towards DXVK, or Wine, or gamescope? Anyone in those areas considering or working-on or even just folding their arms and nodding "Yeah, it looks like a neat trick"

having trouble installing Bomber girl
Throwing a shot in the dark here cause the game is really niche. But I'm trying to install Bomber girl, a japanese only spin-off of Bomberman. I played it with a friend on windows awhile ago and wanted to try installing it on linux. But I'm having trouble, the game installs using a .msi installer for reference. I can get it to open in wine but I can't get the installation to finish without errors. the only way I could tell it was an error was when I tried it with bottles which has support for japanese fonts and google translate. I've tested the installer in regular wine, lutris, bottles, and wineGE. I've tried in both Kubuntu and fedora. I know wine has .msi support but I think this might be out of the ball park. Any help is greatly appreciated.
in the event anyone wants to try themselves.
Here's the english installation guide
Specs
OS: fedora 40 budgie kernel 6.10.6
MB: MSI B550 A-Pro
Cpu: AMD R5 5600X
Gpu: Powercolor fighter AMD Radeon RX7600 8GB Non-XT
RAM: 32GB 3200mhz
PSU: MPG A750GF 750W Modular PSU

Why do only some versions of the nvidia driver have access to all the settings?
As of August 31st, is there any way to get the full SteamOS experience with an Nvidia card?
My Pc is connected to my tv, I'm looking for a console like experience and SteamOS seems to be the choice. From what I''ve read, you need AMD to get the full SteamOS experience. Has that changed at all?

Is playing hot potato with my boot drive bad?
I have a 500 gig NVME drive and a 100 gig SSD drive.
Want to set up the 100 gig one with linux for gaming and windows on the other one for school.
I might switch two/three times a day between the OS.
Is it bad if I boot from two OS's through out the day?
Do I also have to redo all my bios settings everytime I want to boot from a different drive?

What to do when the latest drivers of your GPU don't support your monitor resolution?
I've got a Radeon HD 5670 in my Fedora 40 OS.
The latest AMD drivers for this motherboard are from 2015 and the problem with those is that the max resolution is 1920 x 1080 but my monitor is an ultra-wide one 2560x1440.
Is there any hope/tricks that I could use the right resolution for my monitor?

What icons should I use
I want clean, non flat, background less icons that look polished. Closest I’ve come is a Win XP icon pack that had too many bells and whistles. I’m on plasma 6.

Is this normal
I’m sorry if this sound’s quite dumb but should Minecraft be running at 60 fps on a 4070 super or is it because I’ve done something I’m using prism launcher and an i7 12700k

Unable to add a drive to Steam on NVIDIA Bazzite with KDE.
$150 laptop that can run Minecraft Java w/mods?
Looking to get my son a very cheap laptop that is LinuxMint friendly and can run Minecraft Java with a reasonable set of mods (I know shaders, etc. might me too taxing).
Right now he's used to the performance of my old desktop i5-6600k w/ GTX970.
Any opinions on minimum specs I should look for / are possible in the sub-$150 price range? (Bonus pts for links to active deals).
Thanks!

Star Wars Outlaws working on Nvidia Linux - solution from TheWiseNoob
https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/2092#issuecomment-2322226803
I just got it working with Lutris! Works really well. Make sure to set Contact Shadows to Low for raytracing. I'm using a 4090.
I don't know if this the best way to it, but I'll explain how I did it.
Get Lutris. I used Lutris from the official Arch repos.
Install Ubisoft Connect via Lutris' option on the sidebar, login, and install Outlaws.
Now you need to replace the two dlls(d3d12.dll and d3d12core.dll) for vkd3d-proton for both x86 and x64
Since this patch is merged into the master branch, pull master
Pull master with git clone --recursive https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton
Change to the directory you just pulled with cd vkd3d-proton
Build in your current directory with ./package-release.sh master ./ --no-package
There's a new folder in your current folder called vkd3d-proton-master. Copy both dlls from the x86 and x64 folders into the respective Lutris folders for your chosen vkd3d-proton folders. For example, mine were in /home/YOUR_HOME_DIRECTORY/.local/share/lutris/runtime/vkd3d/v2.12 with Lutris on Arch. I'm using the main Arch Lutris build, not a Flatpak if it exists.
Make sure to replace YOUR_HOME_DIRECTORY with your home directory's name.
Should be playable now!
I can confirm this works flawlessly.
The only issue is this Nvidia feature RTXDI and Path Tracing - keep this off and you should be fine.
Honestly enjoying the game now, happy playing everyone interested!

Bad distance textures - Recap from my post yesterday
Hey guys,
Yesterday I wrote a post here for which I got kind of rekt. It was all about bad textures in distances of games.
Background
I recently built a new computer and switched from a 1080Ti to a 4080-S.
Since then I have been relatively fussy about the graphics in games. To be honest, I was probably expecting a graphics explosion, as I just got a new GPU - and even one of the best on the market right now... I'm not so sure myself.
I played Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey and The Witcher 3 and I noticed that the textures in the distance look extremely watery and washed out (in my opinion). Simply not sharp. Screenshots: The Witcher 3, Assassins Creed Origins, Assassins Creed Odyssey
YES, I know, all the games are 6-9 years old. But I'll be honest, I was just surprised that the textures look like that. I never paid attention to it before and maybe it's just because of the new GPU now. I've tweaked the graphics a lot, but in the end it's just the games themselves that look like that as I play everything on max settings. And I always remembered that those games were THE games in terms of graphics and immersion when they came out (and I even played them myself and never noticed anything).
I honestly never intended to offend anyone. I just wanted to share my thoughts about that. I started playing games since I was 13 years old. So I now all the old graphics e.g. in Gothic and so on.
Like I said, I was probably most surprised at myself that I never used to pay attention to it - and since my new GPU I totally do.
I guess my own expectations changed dramatically.
(And honestly, the textures just look like shit too for nowadays standards)... :D

how do I get Retro Engine Sonic mods working?
I need help with Sonic remasters in the form of modded Retro Engine remasters. I have Sonic CD Miracle Edition working from the decompile, but Sonic 1 Forever and Sonic 2 Absolute don't work. They show a black screen when the mod-only version is used, and the Windows version of S1F is very unstable, and S2A again shows a black screen and this time even crashes after a few seconds. And that's not to mention Sonic Mania, which has Maniatic Launcher, but that won't load any save files or mods.
