My ds4 works out of the box— the touchpad even maps to the mouse cursor (I use libinput and Wayland).

Ds4drv, if you use it, will override the default kernel driver I believe. Make sure it’s not emulating an Xbox 360 controller, unless you want that.

ArchWiki also mentions that you need to disable hidraw in Wine. Maybe that’s related, if you have issues with Windows games?

I’ve played a small amount with it— I didn’t go far because I only have one graphics card. But my understanding is that you can set up the virtual machine to “capture” the graphics card when it is booted up, and “release” it when it’s done. That’s how some people can use a single graphics card, they just can’t see the Linux desktop while the vm is in use.

For switching games, make sure the drive the game is on is supported by both Windows and Linux. I imagine you’d need to unmount it on the host while the vm is open. I do this for some games with dual booting. Also, install the Windows version and force proton, otherwise you’ll have to install it twice.

For microphone, I assume there’s a solution like network: a way of forwarding the data to the VM in addition to being available on the host. I haven’t tinkered with this though.

For monitors, I’d look into Looking Glass. My understanding is that it can make a window to display the vm output. If you don’t mind the monitor being “tethered” to the gpu, though, I’d imagine any monitors attached on the gpu you pass would display the vm’s contents, while any on the host card will remain the same.

Best of luck!

This list was really hard for my phone to view. It’s an older phone, so that’s probably why, but it kept freezing and reloading.

It made fairly big waves when it was released— mostly covered by cod influencers and the like. Their big selling point was “no sbmm”. I’ve thought about giving it a shot, since it can run on Linux under proton.

In my view, the community wants the game to be viable for solo dives up to the highest levels, so that’s what we’ve been given (I first felt that way after they reverted the spawn scaling changes). Some of the buffs were well needed, though, as many guns just couldn’t keep up with their counterparts in gameplay.

I’m excited to give it a shot when I get back to my desktop!

Her name is Link 😒

Which VCS do you use?

This is really good news, glad to have access to the Roblox library on Linux again. I’m curious to see how the graphics compare to the desktop version.

That said, Roblox is a scummy company that exploits users and developers, many of whom are children. Also, the chat filter and content moderation are poor, and they completely ignore the major predator issue the platform has. I don’t support the company itself.

It’s also just a great game with pretty graphics. Pretty short, though.

BeReal was cool, and the concept is still appealing to me and my circle.

The groups and the celebrity/brand accounts aren’t cool. And I can imagine them adding more garbage after this acquisition.

At the end of the day, capitalism gonna capitalize~

I know it’s a bandaid fix for performance, but better upscaling solutions would be appreciated.

I don’t think there’s a separate build with Nvidia patches now (at least on the AUR), as they’re included/fixed upstream. Still plenty of config and environment variables to set on Nvidia. And the new Nvidia beta driver, 555, should fix flickering in xwayland windows that was caused by a lack of explicit sync support. It’s been working well for me so far!

Right up front two major issues with Linux:

1. No standard UI - it’s different on every system

2. No standard tools - you can’t rely on the same tools being on every machine

These seem like pretty fundamental traits, since Linux is only the kernel. I think a better way to compare other OSs to Linux would be comparing them to specific Linux distros, since those often do have standardized installs.

But there’s not really a great answer for which distro or distros should be used to represent the whole linux ecosystem… and that fragmentation has both pros and cons.

Like, I really love my Arch desktop, but it took lots of time to learn and configure. And it often breaks with updates— it’s not something most users would want. However, I get cutting-edge updates and features, and I have specialized my entire OS to best work for my workflows.

I currently use and love bluetuith! I hope you are able to secure funding and contributors, as this sounds like it could be a great development.

Got home, it’s working really well. Like, I’m super pleased!

VRR still needs testing on my system. I know that there’s yet to be a fix for multi-monitor VRR. I still need to test with a single monitor, though.

YOOO!!

I can’t wait to get home for this! I’m going to try to use VRR again too, see how it plays with that.

I can’t speak to all systems or configurations, but my desktop is Arch-based with the Nvidia 535 driver (a few versions old, I’m still waiting for the explicit sync driver support), I run the game through Xwayland (no gamescope), and I’ve been using protonge 9-2 as the compat tool. The game runs really smooth in my experience, and on protonge 9-2 I don’t have issues switching windows/workspaces.

I do run the game in exclusive fullscreen— I recall the window having a single white pixel border in borderless fullscreen.

It’s a great game that respects player time and money, and since we’re on Lemmy (land of the FOSS folks) I’m also gonna throw it out there:

It works on Linux under Proton. 🎉

Same— my understanding is that there’s now no option to play without making one, which for some countries and territories is not even an option, making the game unplayable for them.
