I’m tired of "Game Managers" that act like they own my files. Even the "simple" ones come with databases, background processes, and "magic" configurations that break the moment you move a folder or an update drops.

So I stopped using them. I went back to the filesystem.

umu-skeleton is a 2KB directory structure with a few bash scripts. It’s not an app you install; it’s a template for how to organize your gaming environment using umu-launcher.

The Philosophy:

• The Filesystem is the Database: Your folder structure is your library. No SQL, no JSON, no hidden state.
• Portable by Design: Every script calculates its own location. You can throw the whole folder onto an SD card or an external drive and it just works.
• One Config to Rule Them: global.conf lets you swap your Proton runner for the entire library in one line.
• Total Transparency: The "logic" is about 40 lines of shell script. You can audit the whole thing in 20 seconds.
• No Residual Junk: No lockfiles, no background daemons, nothing that get's into your way.

Perfect for:

• Steam Deck Users: Keep your Gaming Mode clean. Add your .sh scripts as Non-Steam games and save your RAM for the actual game.
• Minimalists: If you’re on Arch or a window manager, this fits your workflow.
• The Engineer's Dilemma: I realized that adding "safety features" just adds points of failure. This is a manual tool. It's simple, it's fast, and it doesn't break.

If you want to own your gaming environment instead of letting a launcher manage it for you, give this a look.

The VRAM always fills up in 1-2 mins after getting in game on the lowest possible settings. On Windows I can max out everything in 4K and play just fine but I hate the HDR of Windows. XD

Is there any possible solution to this? I use the VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv option as well.

Hi.

I'd like to know the best way to run SE1 Dedicated Server on Linux in 2026.

Every Docker project that I can find including Torch, hasn't been updated in 4yr +. I eventually just picked what was updated last(2 years ago), which is running the vanilla server as far as I can tell.

It's a terrible experience. The container is almost always in Unhealthy status and there's frequent lag spikes. It lags almost constantly with just 1 friend online with me at the same time. The DS itself also crashes frequently.

My foot is literally touching the server hardware, so it's not a network problem. Although that's what the constant warnings at the top right would like me to believe, along with the "Scene Too Complex" warning that doesn't go away ever. It's not like we are talking a crazy save with 1mil PCU used either. We are just over 100k total atm. No mods.

So how are you all running SE1 servers these days? Is it just so terrible on Linux, that the only good way to run it is DS on Windows and the game on Windows 🤮?

I'd much prefer running it on docker, but I can setup LXC on Proxmox, if that's what it takes.

Also side question: Is there a way to make copy pasting from text fields work? It seems to only work once per login and the subsequent attempts will just freeze the game for a while without copying anything. Same happens in single player worlds.

Thank you for any help!

Hi, I am pretty new to gaming on linux and have an issue with my Controller. In this example it's in "pathologic 2" but I had the same issues in other games (like "shady part of me").

Important Note: I enabled Steam-Input when there is no official controller support like in these two mentioned games.

When I press and hold the LB Button or RB Buttons they seem to "rapid fire" in these games. But in every other menu they work as intended. Even in game menus. It's not like it's triggered multiple times so when I press LB one time in a carousel like menu it just jumps one item and not multiple times.
But when it's required to HOLD the button it seems to rapid fire as mentioned before. I recorded a video for this issue. I also opened the system controller settings and displayed it in the bottom left corner - it shows the buttons are (and keep) pressed.

I guess it's not a controller issue but rather a steam input issue. Does someone has the same issues and knows a solution? My previous workaround was to remap the buttons to unused buttons but in a game like pathologic 2 this doesn't really work since I need all of the other buttons as well (afaik).

The philosophy of user-controlled kernels vs. invasive anti-cheat seems fundamentally at odds. But I'm curious — is there a scenario where the tradeoff would make sense, or is this a hard no for the community?

Not taking a side, genuinely interested in where people draw the line.

hey buddies, so im trying to set up a macro i used to have in LGS while Path of Exile is active, i loved it, worked wonders and never had an issue and its a BIG quality of life for my health problems.

But i can't seem to find a way to make this work without doing a bunch of extra steps as well as re-writting the script in another language..

Basically this is the script i used while the game was windows-active:

function OnEvent(event, arg) x, y = GetMousePosition(); OutputLogMessage("Mouse is at %d, %d\n", x, y); if(IsModifierPressed("lctrl") and IsMouseButtonPressed(2)) then Sleep(100) col = 1 x_offset = 54640 repeat row = 0 y_offset = 35045 repeat MoveMouseTo(x_offset, y_offset) Sleep(15) PressKey("lctrl") PressAndReleaseMouseButton(1) ReleaseKey("lctrl") Sleep(15) row = row + 1 y_offset = y_offset + 1800 until (row == 5) col = col + 1 PressKey("lctrl") x_offset = x_offset + 1000 until (IsMouseButtonPressed(3) or col == 12) ReleaseKey("lctrl") end

end

How could i achieve this? im okay if windows-active doesn't work as long as the full script does!!

Thank you for your timing : )
