I got tired of worrying of system going to sleep during big updates for Steam games that I usually leave unattended at night or while I'm awake, so I decided to finally fix that. Now the obvious question is «Why not just do "Manual Block"?» that's annoying, and it's much nicer when the system resets the lock by itself when the update is finished.

I didn't make a systemd service yet, so I start it with a .dekstop file in ~/.config/autostart/: [Desktop Entry] Exec=steam-update-inhibit-sleep # if the executable is not in /bin or /usr/bin, it must be the full path to the executable Icon= Name=steam-update-inhibit-sleep Path= Terminal=True Type=Application

Feel free to shame me for my coding skills on GitHub: https://github.com/Damglador/steam-update-inhibit-sleep\ I've also made an AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steam-update-inhibit-sleep-git On other distros you can use pip to install it on user level (the executable should be in ~/.local/bin/)

Hello guys.

I've been trying to install ONI from the original cd through Lutris and when i start the game, it shows me the whole introduction videos and after that it goes black screen with the message "ONI.exe is not responding".

I tried click repeatedly on the "Wait" button but nothing.

Also i've been trying to change some settings in Lutris and not a single positive result.

It was unfortunate what happened with Old School Rally when it was hit with a DMCA takedown, but thankfully the situation is solved now.

Normally a new upstream version is released every two weeks, but it's been more than a month since 10.12 and my RSS feed shows more than 300 commits since 10.12.

I'm hoping the devs are on vacation, which is well deserved of course. If so, that's fine. There isn't any news I missed, right? Nothing bad is happening with the Wine project hopefully.

I've been pulling my hair out on this for several days now. I tried every runner - Wine, Proton, GE versions, soda, different versions, different dependencies (DirectX, the Vulkan implementation, etc), checking the various guides on protondb but NOTHING will make Oblivion play.

The issue starts immediately as soon as you launch the game, whether from the launcher or the exe. The Bethesda logo appears for anywhere between half a second and several seconds and the game just crashes.

I've tried every recommendation I could find, deleting ini files, installing fixes with MO2, everything — the game refuses to play.

I've seen someone say that it's because the exe comes with a bad DirectX 9c installation but I have no clue how to fix that since I already tried to install DirectX 9 dlls via winetricks.

I'll appreciate any help on the matter, I just wanna play the funny Todd Howard game.

Hello, I've downloaded Vortex via lutris so I can set up mods for Fallout New Vegas, but for some reason I cannot get it to download any mods with the Vortex option on the website.

I've tried messing with the application settings in Firefox to see if maybe the NXM handling isn't working but not matter what I do I can't manage to get it to download for me, which kinda defeats the idea of the mod manager, any help would be appreciated.

I'm a Windows user (for now), but I plan to switch over to something like Bazzite or Mint

Some compatibility questions:

Does Easy Anti-Cheat allow Linux? Such games I would like to be able to play are War Thunder, Hell Let Loose

Can I run VR with a link cable on my Oculus Quest? Or does it have to be Air link? (my internet isn't amazing for air link)/Does SteamVR work with a Linux distro?

Does TrackIR work for Linux?

What major apps can I NOT use on Linux that I can normally use on Windows?

So I was an avid user of Manjaro 6 years ago and have been on Windows ever since. I work in IT and am pretty tech savvy.

I currently have the following set up:

• Acer Nitro V AN515 (i5 12450H, 16gb DDR4, RTX 4060, 512Gb NVME)
• An external 1TB SSD used for storing games (exFAT)
• 34" UWQHD 144Hz curved monitor (1440p). I use this monitor as my primary display with the laptop lid closed.

I want to know the following:

• I'd prefer going back to an arch based system, really liked Garuda KDE, any better/other recommendations?
• Not looking to dual boot, can I keep the external hard drive as is to transfer all my steam games?
• Lastly, I'm still on the fence about this move, the only reason I want to do it is because I want to brush up on my Linux skills, any other reasons you found that made you jump?

Just played Roblox for the 1st time, and it doesn't have inverted Y axis..

I can play between inverted and non-inverted I just get a small headache to re-adjust after 5 minutes of gameplay.

The FPS on there is surprisingly fun. I disliked the age verification via Government ID though.

It's a weird one and is the bane of controller users who like to rename their customized controls.
Basically, when you are ingame and you shift-tab to bring up the controller overlay (where you can edit your controls) and you try to rename a button, then you will be unable to type q, r, t, or o. You can't even type it on a physical keyboard either.

The only workaround I know of is to alt-tab to a browser or something, type in what I want to type, then copy/paste it back into whatever thing I was originally trying to type in. It's not perfect, so I was wondering if anyone had a better solution, or even a permanent fix?

I'm having this issue while trying to play titanfall 2. I frequently use the mouse side button for melee and crouch, but for some reason when I middle click the mouse, I sometimes would occasionally melee at the same time. I found out that in titanfall 2, horizontal scroll (when you tilt your scroll wheel side to side) is registered as a side button press (both end up registering as mouse 4/5). Game hasn't changed since I last played it on windows with the same mouse, so I'm pretty sure this is a linux thing.

For reference, I'm running through lutris on fedora, and the mouse I'm using is the logitech g502 hero.
