There are just better noob-friendly distributions, like LinuxMint.

Where do you actually reach people?

I would like to add: people incredibly underestimate the convenience of having data on Blu-ray rather than on HDD/SSD: Blu-rays last longer and, if purchased cheaply (as in the case of the cheap PS3 game market), have a comparable or superior cost-benefit ratio.

In this case we can say that the console, given its low price on the second-hand market (and if with a working blu-ray player), is incredibly convenient even without the pirate aspect.

You can't run some games with it (like God of War III if I'm not wrong)

Nobara is very good for middle user that just want a ready-to-game distro; Bazzite is best for noobs, thanks to immutability; for an experienced user there are no reasons to not use Arch.

Arch. Bazzite/Nobara are for noobs (in a positive way, don't get me wrong). Gaming is in spot where you want stability but also a rolling release, since we have daily improvements on essential packages; as an experienced user you can use Arch for that; consider also even Valve is on it with the Steam Deck (Arch-based).

There's a wiki or something to learn Godot with a maintained textual resource?

Also there are common practice/scripts and tips to learn somewhere?

7. On "Wine version" select the version you prefer
8. Save
    8-1. (If FitGirl Repack)
    8-2. Click on the game your just added
    8-3. On the botton panel click the "Up" icon near the "Platform: Windows" text
    8-4. Run EXE inside Wine prefix

13. Wait; click "Install" if any installation prompt appears
14. Follow the DODI/FitGirl installer
    14-1. Use "C:\" as destination
    14-2. Don't create a desktop icon or a start menu entry
    14-3. Deselect every option that starts with "Update" for eg: "Update DirectX"
15. After the installation > right click on the game > Configure
16. Go to "Game Options" tab

Hi, looks like I can't find infos on that. I'm on Arch Linux and the post-install path is in /home/USER/ES-DE but I would prefer more something like "/home/USER/.emulationstation"

 

EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) user here.

Is this just me? Everything works perfectly, but if the controller turns off and on again while a game is running, it's no longer recognized, and this forces me to restart the game.

I don't know how useful it is but I tried to join the input group, nothing changed.

 

The beautiful games I own are Snake Pass and Sonic Racing Transformed, both of which have sound issues (muffled audio) when played through a cheap soundbar via bluetooth, audio for all other games with this soundbar works perfectly.

I'm on EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) using repository Steam, KDE Plasma and Pipewire. I've tried all the different proton versions (experimental, 9, 8, 7, 3, etc) without success. Maybe I could solve it by removing pipewire but I don't think it's worth worsening the entire OS, since it's only about these two titles.

Q:

  • The problem seems to not appear on other distros, like Debian (maybe due to different packages / pulseaudio?).
  • Coincidentally it only happens with these two SumoDigital games, could proton be missing some component commonly used in these games?
  • Since I can't find any relevant solutions online, I assume that the problem only exists with this type of Bluetooth audio device.

[edit] AtM I "solved" it by connecting the speaker via cable.

 

I'm sorting out my collection of native games and ROMs, Pegasus requires some forethought to customize the collections as I want but it seems like the best option. Do you know of interesting and equally customizable alternatives like Pegasus that are not proprietary and are comfy with the gamepad?

 

I love Breeze icons but every now and then I would like to change, needless to say that most of the sets have their default colors and do not respect the Plasma user's choice of accent.

 

It’s just me or RetroArch developed the best FLOSS alternative to proprietary UI? You have a nice overlay, CRT shaders, bezels, some netplay function, customizable interface. All of this completely free and super fast.

Wouldn’t be nice to also launch non-emulated games from here?

The cursor randomly enlarges every now and then. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, have you solved it?

Could this be due to using different containers? I use flatpaks for everything apart from a few exceptions where I use distrobox, and in these the Plasma cursor is slightly different, but it doesn't justify the bug but just a different version of the cursor.
