Never really had a problem with either FitGirl or DODI repacks in Lutris

This may not be the right place for a superficial rant, but: I never figured Lutris out. Installed it a couple of times in the past years and rage-deleted it after a week of fiddeling because NOTHING WORKED. Not GZDoom, no emulator, no windows game let alone the RDR2 repack. I don't think I'm that dumb, but seriously, I need help. I love the idea of a gaming platform on Linux, but the time I already sank into this piece of software without accomplishing anything is depressing!

I feel this so hard. I managed to get Bottles to run most things but the few I struggled with I'm always told others got it to run with Lutris. Okay but how? Because everything I've tried with Lutris failed.

I also never figured out lutris. I gave up one day with rage and discovered bottles. Never looked back after that.

If lutris make problem, launch with lutris -d in terminal for debug message.

To test if system broken, try install linux native game (for example tuxkart). If that no work, maybe system has problem. If does work, finally accomplished one thing :)

If more problem, [email protected] or [email protected] maybe helpful

Just download jc141, they have both doom big collection and rdr2

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

So here I go again, searching the web to find out what jc141 is. I go to Reddit, huge wall of text that says stuff like "Peazip is not recommended to extract zpaq". So I go to GitHub, it links to GitLab, which tells me about Arch: stable, Distrobox, Debian: unstable. 10 minutes have passed and I still don't know what jc141 is. This gives me PTSD, it's Linux at it's worst.

It kind of just seems like you aren't very good at determining what's important to read/click and what's not.

Or maybe you're just bad at doing searches?

[–] Eyck_of_denesle 2 points 3 days ago

Well it's piracy. It's supposed be like that. I can help you, just dm or reply here. Their gitlab has all necessary links to setup, torrent website link, rss if you need it, etc. I am free now for a few hours so feel free to ask.

Emulation in general requires a bit of learning an tinkering, it's just how it is, rom emulator users, ps2, 3,gameboy etc they have it way worse than us. Now it's just click and play in linux in most titles.
