The fact that
@playlostark
or
@PlayApex
or
@DestinyTheGame
have anticheats that literally requires flipping a switch or sending an email to work on linux but fail to do so frustrates me to no end. The anti-linux stigma surrounding game devs just pisses me off.
Some have already heard the news early from Discord, but a few days ago I announced a new project, ULWGL, while working with several others in the linux gaming space under the group Open Wine Components:
. ULWGL is 3 parts basically --
(1/4)
Package managers on linux are infuriating.
How do I install on fedora?
dnf or yum but not rpm -i
How do I remove without removing deps?
rpm -e --nodeps, but not dnf or yum
What about ubuntu?
use apt
What about remove without deps?
Use dpkg directly, not apt
FUCKIN WHY
See friends, this is why kernel level/rootkit anti-cheats are bad, mmk:
Ransomware Actor Abuses Genshin Impact Anti-Cheat Driver to Kill Antivirus
This exact thing was predicted in 2021:
Well, I've officially learned how to do a complete steam deck teardown now. Holy crap that was a lot of work (yes it requires removing the screen with a heat gun without breaking it)
Fucking FINALLY got egpu working on AMD usb4 in Linux on Wayland on Gpd win max 2 fully working without the GPU powering off a few minutes into the game!!!! It seems a few kernel parameters were needed to enforce pcie gen 3. Wooo!
sigh. sometimes I really, really hate linux's fragmentation.
user: I have X problem how me do fix gud?
response: ok... what package, did it it come from snap, flatpak, or your distro repo? are you on gnome,kde, or some other DE? are you on wayland or X11? are you on nvidia? etc.
Nobara SteamDeck Edition should work well now as a general HTPC "Steam Console" OS as well as on other various handhelds. Today I also added a small patch to 6.3.12 kernel for the ROG Ally's Wifi+Bluetooth (MediaTek strikes again)
Rainbow Six Siege works with BattleEye with latest proton experimental now. Just played a Quickplay match 👌. Make sure you have the Proton BattlEye Runtime installed, it should show up in your library.
Crap! HDMI Forum Rejects Open-Source HDMI 2.1 Driver Support Sought By AMD
"The HDMI Forum has rejected our proposal unfortunately. At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements."
For those wondering:
Yes, I know Proton 8 is out
No, Proton-GE 8 is not out
Proton-GE is based on experimental. I am waiting on Proton 8 experimental to be released.
This is why I stopped playing Destiny2 several years ago. Bungie has been anti-linux for a very long time. As long as they continue to do so, I will not give them another single penny.
Alot of the reasons Pop OS was created mentioned by
@jeremy_soller
in this video are also why I started Nobara. It's additionally funny they began with a PPA repo on top of Ubuntu, as Nobara started as a COPR repo on top of Fedora. GMTA 🍻
THANK YOU
@OBSProject
I have been asking for this feature for YEARS. Now I can finally record whatever format without audio being forced to AAC! This means I can import the video directly into Davinci Resolve on Linux without having to re-encode the audio stream separately!🥳
What if I told you you can now capture and record 4k60 gameplay on linux on an AMD gpu without a capture card, without crazy AMD AMF driver issues, all on the same machine (given the hardware can run the game at 4k60). It's FINALLY POSSIBLE.

Nobody cares if you're switching back to Windows. stfu about it and just go quietly. There's no reason for yet another thread with novels defending linux. Different strokes for different folks, we get it already.
Christ I hate the epic games store.
I would NOT hate it if it didn't try to lock every new title into a platform exclusive. Platform exclusives SUCK ASS.
Epic Logic:
(1) Fuck being locked into Apple Store transaction fees
(2) But it's okay if we do the same with games to others
@scrumtuous
incorrect. the tradeoff of taking the time to learn linux is gaining a toolset that many companies find hard to come by and in fact can be a foot in the door for higher paying jobs and better job competition.
Freesync came out in 2015. It's been 8 years and
@gnome
still doesn't have it.
The MR was opened 3 years ago
Every time a new version of gnome comes out people have to wait for a rebase.
Seriously considering going back to KDE again...
Seems the EAC .so library was added to New World, appears to work so far. Launcher hangs. I've added a workaround to launch the game without the launcher in GE-Proton7-12

I think my build is... finally done. Like for real for real this time.
can we please have a steam controller v2 -- just give us a bluetooth controller with dinput+xinput and the layout of the steam deck. two touchpads, two joysticks, everything else standard. i dont even care if it has rear buttons
Found hotel tv had an Ethernet connection. Hijacked it for wired internet. Putting Lenovo Legion Go to work. 😂 And yes I even have a jellyfin server container running on it 🍻
It blows my mind the amount of tech specs they crammed into the PS5 for $400 ($500 if you want a bluray drive).
GPU comparable to 5700 XT
CPU comparable to R7 3700X

1TB NVME
16 GB ram
+ power supply, cooling, SFF case.
You -cannot- beat that price..
So a few weeks ago I mentioned being able to record 4k60 with the obs-gstreamer plugin on linux. Well guess what, after working with the developer a bit -- we've got it as it's own obs-vaapi plugin now with tons of options!
NGL, I miss my Destiny friends. I miss going to conventions and hanging out in streams and raiding and pvp with them. I just don't feel comfortable supporting a company that has been adamantly against running the game on linux. It may sound stupid but linux is important to me.
I now have ideas brewing for:
- creating a wine-ge snap
- creating a wine-ge flatpak
- allowing lutris to use pressure-vessel
- allowing wine-ge to utilize proton's open source font replacements

#UbuntuSummit
I met so many great people learned a ton + the collab was awesome
Just a PSA: If you plan on gaming on linux and want to play dx12/vkd3d titles, don't go with pascal or lower GPUs. I've been running some tests on elden ring for $200ish budget used cards. 1060 6gb gets around 45fps -with- fsr. The older AMD R9 390 8gb can do 1080p60. video soon
A lot of people tend to go to Ubuntu or Arch based distros. Ubuntu ships stuff that is usually too old out of the box, & Arch ships stuff that isn't tested well enough & breaks regularly.
Give Fedora + rpmfusion repos a try, add 1 or 2 copr repos. That's all you really need.
@LinuxSeb
at grub menu press e, then add this to the linux kernel command line and press ctrl+x to execute:
systemd.debug-shell=1
when you get to the login gui press ctrl+alf+f9, itll drop you into a root prompt without needing your password. you can then reset passwords for whatever user
Halo Infinite is pending some patches that make it 99% working on proton (including videos and campaign) 🥳🎉, all that remains afaik is a mouse pointer bug fix
Just ordered a
@system76
Oryx Pro specifically for working on further improving Nvidia drivers on Nobara as well as rigging up swappable GPU functionality
Pockets hurt but itll be worth it. Plus it's a nice laptop.
Um wow. The gdp win max 2 worked with Nobara ootb. Everything working, touchscreen, Bluetooth, wifi, even the controllers and even the keyboard function keys. I just installed gears 5 and proton ge on it and boom done.
Framework laptop running D2R with 6700xt inside cooler master eg200 egpu over thunderbolt on Fedora linux. The tiny monitor is actually 1080p with an IPS panel and USB powered! This laptop is awesome
ngl sometimes i wish the linux desktop was a single uniform target like windows or mac. i love having choice but the amount of braindead shit i see users tinker with and break on a daily basis makes me want to scream
It's just so FRUSTRATING. Every single day I see this and it just makes me angry and depressed. I've fought the same battle for the last 10 years over just wanting to play a damn game.. and noone ever listens.
Did not have being called a corpo shill for defending my employer on my linux bingo card this month.
It's rare that people have jobs they actually really enjoy with great people surrounding them, why would I not defend that?
Sometimes I forget there's almost 5,000 people following me, many that are in the tech space and/or professional IT space.
I'm just a weird dude and sometimes I say some weird shit. I just hope whoever reads my cursed feed laughs at whatever they find out of place.
HEHEHEH. Steam Deck UI and PSO running on Nobara without using gamescope. Made a script that also auto applies Fullscreen,FSR, and mangohud. Now just need to sort missing audio driver issue...
WHELP. Figured out how to make the nvidia drivers work in the live ISO environment and install them as part of the regular install. No more nomodeset jankery or people who cant boot the nobara ISO on nvidia \o/
