All the ones I could find don't work anymore, and I can't really find online if any of them are still trying to find a way to go, or if one already exists

Trying to write a script for creating a new Wine prefix that doesn't have mime associations and common locations symlinks are disabled out of the box.

So I far I figured out how to do the first part (assume WINEPREFIX is set to what you need at this point):

export WINEDLLOVERRIDES='winemenubuilder.exe=d' wine winecfg /v win11 wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\FileOpenAssociations' /v "Enable" /d "N" /f > /dev/null 2>&1

That works neatly without putting all that junk in $HOME/.local/share/mime, but I still need to go into winecfg and deselect all symlinks for locations. Is there some way to automate this using Wine itself or I need to manually find those locations and turn them into normal directories?

I want to try clients other than vesktop, which i had a mic problem with. Its better if its still supported and maintained

Ive been trying to play Micropolis (SimCity) on my laptop running Pop_Os. The problem I am running into though is the window is scaled so small that the game is unplayable unless connected to my larger monitor. I have my 1920x1080 display scale set to 125% and all other applications are scaled well and everything is visible, but everything in Micropolis is tiny and almost unreadable. I have tried addind tk scale 2.0 to the .tcl file but I get errors running the application. Any help would be appreciated.

Evey day the same questions, please create a mega thread with the response to all the basic questions

I recently built my own PC with an RTX 5070 and my old GTX 1060 for VM PCI passthrough. I've tried installing several versions of Fedora and Ubuntu, but either the RTX doesn't display anything on the screen, or the interface is really buggy because the driver doesn't seem to apply on the card, but on the other one no worries. Of course, I tried removing my second card or vice versa, but the same thing happened. According to my research, it seems that nobody has the same problem. No driver appears in Ubuntu's additional drivers application, but I still managed to download the new driver using the console, but not on Fedora. I don't know why this happens and why only my old graphics card works perfectly. Am I missing something?

i want to gave it a try because i use AMD and i say some ppl saying that amd is good for linux and some other things make me wanna try it, i want to start instaling today some give me some advices about drivers, need internet drivers??, give any tips how to deal with linux drivers, i need to know something? what is your opnion on it? say anything that cloud help me at all

Hey, so I have recently picked up GTFO again, and I am having a blast. I then found out that there are mods for the game.

Does anyone here play GTFO and got mods to run on linux?

Hi everyone,

I need help. I am new to tinkering and I installed bazzite to my ROG ally. I didn’t understand the shrink and partition portion of the install and only allocated I guess 40 gb to Bazzite. Everything installed but now I realize what I did wrong in this step, as I only have 20 gb of space to use for games after the Bazzite install. Am I cooked ? Do I need to go back somehow or reinstall windows and do this all over again ? Can I change the partition somehow from the bios ?

Thank you

Whenever I start a LAN game server on a Windows device on my network, my Linux device does not discover it. When I start the server on Linux, other devices *can* actually discover the server, however they are unable connect.

This same behavior was observed with LAN functionality both in Minecraft and in Among Us, and was tested on Ubuntu and on NixOS. The issue occurs even with the firewall disabled.

Any ideas for how I might troubleshoot this? Thanks

Hi community,

my firs post here - I try to share some knowledge

Make sure Desktop starts as

X11 and NOT Wayland

Here my Start parameters:

WAYLAND_DISPLAY= %command% PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11 %command% -nojoy -sdlaudiodriver pulseaudio -high +r_drawparticles 0 -threads 8 +mat_disable_fancy_blending 1 -softparticlesdefaultoff -nopreload -limitvsconst +mat_queue_mode 2 -tickrate 128 +cl_cmdrate 128 +cl_updaterate 128 +cl_forcepreload 1 -nojoy

Before starting Steam (SNAP Version)

open console

3 commands as user where :~$ is command prompt

:~$ pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-rate 41000

:~$ pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 2048

:~$ pw-metadata -n settings

first command is sample size which is standard on 48000

second is buffersize standard is 512

third is to write these changes

you can check with cat /proc/asound/card1/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params before and after settings. maybe command differs depending on where your soundcard is located

START STEAM and then

START CS

it removed micro audio stutters for me completely

Cheers

Yo, I really wish to definitely switch from windows to a linux distro on my gaming laptop but the issue is that I'm not sure if it's possible to play FiveM and GTA Online on linux.

If you have any lead on if it's working, lemme know!

Thanks !

I think some of you know know about Winlator: a tool that contains Wine, Box64, DXVK etc. to play Windows games on Android. It's made by BrunoSX whose real name apparently Bruno Sousa. The only desciption he give about himself is next:

I'm a Brazilian developer who really likes to program in Java and C.

What's suspicious is that his github account doesn't have any activity before Winlator. Yet what he does? He made an entire Android applications with interfaces to underlying Linux software like Wine, Xserver to support proper rendering and proper input. He even made a special shim Vulkan driver called Vortek that uses underlying vendor Android Vulkan driver! Isn't that too much work for a single individual? He has a small site with little to no design and single "donation" link on "Buy me a coffee". Doesn't seem very convincing if you asked me.

Even though Winlator is kinda open-source only sources for version 7 actually released and every update to repo goes in batches. That's how corporations prefer to work with open source when they develop things under the curtains and only dump changes with some intervals. If you want to see how real open source projects looks like check mobox repo: it's kinda Winlator competitor based upon Termux. Mobox does really looks like a work of a small individuals with the help of community

So my theory is that all this Winlator thing is a facade for Valve to develop Proton on Android. We already know for sure that they're developing Proton for ARM.

Hello there!

I recently got myself a RX 9070, and I am fairly happy with it.

However, I seem to have this issue, where when I am using Linux, I am getting glitches and graphical artifacts in different places. You can see these below.

https://preview.redd.it/eqxsxm7zv1se1.jpg?width=20&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41482f750316d91b0e2e41ba2c31c836964468c1

I was kind of wondering whether the GPU was dying, but I don't really know what is happening. There really doesn't seem to be any clear issues, other than the graphical ones. I tried gaming in Linux, and the games ran fine, without any issues.

At this point, I don't know.

Any help would be appreciated.
