Linux is becoming popular.
Is this good or bad?

>>106924282
FOSS doesnt gain anything from new users, unless they post proper bug reports and even then the most value is from gaining developers and contributors, which is different from how jeet(proprietary)ware and freeware works

personally not a fan of more redditors in our communities

can I get everything that Bazzite has in terms of compatibility if I'm willing to tinker with Arch?

how to do the triforce on linux?

what you do is you look at video server, audio stack, desktop environment, init system, file system (tho usually everyone uses ext4, but there are exceptions, there is also lvm), glibc or musl, package management (tho its the same everywhere but source based distros)
i guess also bootloader and firewall might be relevant?
other than that i dont know what can possibly be relevant

Honestly i find it bad because of the zoom zoom normies or some shit like that i don't know.

>>106925308
Most distros will perform similarly, the important part is getting a lightweight de/wm like mate, lxqt, icewm, openbox (I'd mention xfce but I don't know if it's that lightweight now). Maybe look into tinycore or puppy but imho they're overkill for a c2d (also idk how they handle wine for old vidya, packages are probably ancient). I have a c2q around somewhere with arch+icewm and it's pretty snappy

>>106925308
Firstly you'd want a distro that uses window managers by default instead of full desktop environments. If you want a DE you should use LXQt, or use a floating window manager like Openbox, Fluxbox or IceWM.

my troubles started when I tried changing the keybound password manager to bitwarden

bindd = SUPER, G, Signal, exec, omarchy-launch-or-focus signal "uwsm app -- signal-desktop"
bindd = SUPER, O, Obsidian, exec, omarchy-launch-or-focus obsidian "uwsm app -- obsidian -disable-gpu --enable-wayland-ime"
bindd = SUPER, slash, Passwords, exec, omarchyu-launch-or-focus bitwarden "uwsm app -- bitwarden"

i simply duplicated the formatting of signal and obsidian, but have also tried without using the launch-or-focus script
the keybind, as well as the uwsm app cmd in terminal return COMMAND NOT FOUND
I assumed signal and obsidian had some association with uwsm somewhere on the system.
started with .desktop files, and have fuzzed and grepped around forever without finding anything
how are signal and obsidian known to uwsm but bitwarden isn't?

>>106924733
KDE’s search is fast because it’s simple and focused only on what’s on your computer. It doesn’t search the internet pr displays adds and Bing promotions and other background services (spying, telemetry, AI..)
Plasma uses Baloo that indexes your files without slowing things down. You can adjust Baloo to your liking.

>>106924733
KDE isn't scanning all your files while searching and putting all the info into a database to send to Mossad/CIA and maybe microsoft to sell to jeets.

I'm not familiar with UWSM, but it looks like it can launch either executables or desktop entries. You could try changing "bitwarden" to "bitwarden.desktop" first, and see if it works that way.

Two part answer

Of course the new microsoft employees have very little chance of overcoming this technical debt, so M$ gets what it sowed.

There are two timelines:

Timeline 1:
People who are tired of their proprietary OS go out and find alternatives on their own. They are introduced to it through their own curiosity and desire to learn something.

Timeline 2:
Freetards (former winkiddies) spam flood and shill linux 24/7/365 like obnoxious vegans claiming it perfectly replaces any OS with ease and has zero issues and zero problems.
>Normgroid tries to install linux and runs into 213985243871 problems instantly and becomes a linux hater for life and proceeds to spend the rest of their life trolling and hating on linux.
All linux hate and anti-linux trolling are the direct result of freetards forcefully pushing linux on people who have zero technical background and have zero interest in learning linux.

We're in the worst timeline, and it's entirely self-inflicted and caused by freetards forcing linux down everyone's throats.
Anti-vegans don't hate veganism, they hate vegans. Linux haters don't hate linux, they hate evangelical freetards for lying to them.
Trying to push linux to non-technical people and gamers rather than strictly programmers people was the mistake.

>>106925682
thanks for replying :)

calling the .desktop file i had tried before and it didnt work, but your link alerted me that i hadnt tried using paths to the executable, only the desktop entry.
Despite the bitwarden.desktop entry not including "-desktop" as the signal one does, there IS in fact a bitwarden-desktop in /usr/bin

any way, plugged in the path to the uwsm app command and its working now.

>>106925831
In reality, you cannot switch anything worth you while. All the "debloating" of Windows is pretty much useless and does not achieve anything except minor privacy gain and esthetics.
On same hardware, with proper support from software devs (games, apps etc), Linux will always win.

>>106924282
Good. Linux won't sell out but this might eventually lead to more software support in the long term.

>>106925827
You can create a local profile to combine the no-multilib and desktop profiles you want.

use nixOS.

So I like CachyOS alot. But I installed it with Cosmic and it's got it's issues that are becoming annoying. System is super stable though. Should I just reinstall with a different DE and if so does anyone have one that's recommended? I've tried Cosmic, Cinnamon, and KDE and they all have their strengths. Thinking about trying Gnome next, or something else.

To add to this: I was so happy with gentoo binhost because most of my packages could actually be from binhost because I don't modify USE much except for -kde -qt5 -webengine -gnome and such. But now that I added all those 32-bit steam dependency USE flags I have to compile something like 60 packages which were prebuilt binaries before. This sucks but I don't like flatpak either.

I'm not too good at basic Linux stuff yet. My laptop is about 7 or so years old. I don't game except some roms. What is a good distro I should use?

Never said you should use Experimental.
Testing is not fit for regular use. You are much more likely to encounter issues than with Sid. Packages only drop down to Testing if there have been no changes in 2 weeks. They make a change before the 2 week timer runs down? Boom wait 2 weeks again.

I just use an Archlinux chroot with Bubblewrap for Steam because my Gentoo system doesn't have multi-lib libraries and I don't want to deal with any of that crap.

>>106926829
>don't want to deal with any of that crap
There's really no "dealing" with it other than having to compile more libraries. Never had any problems with steam in gentoo. You just add a bunch of USE flags to a bunch of dependencies.

>>106926878
That's the part I don't want to deal with, yes. 32-bit libraries are a fucking mess to have on your system and all just for Steam, nothing else needs them. I'd rather they make a 64-bit client but until then I'll use a chroot.

>>106926885
I don't see how it's a mess. It's just a bunch of libraries in their own folder.

>>106926887
You have to compile a bunch of crap for one application that nothing else needs and sometimes you might encounter problems because 32-bit compatibility is not a given and more and more software is dropping it. Steam is the only one that still insists on it. I'd rather put that off to the side in a chroot and never have to worry about it. I definitely don't want that on my base system and have to build them every time I do a @world upgrade.

>>106926891
I agree, but I can always unmerge this stuff and switch to alternative options if this seems unfeasible at some point. So whatever.

i doubt linux evangelism works to any notable degree. it's something that if becoming aware of it's existence doesn't make you want to try it, then it's probably not for you.
i've gotten people to use linux, but my giving them a computer running linux rather than trying to convince someone who probably doesn't even know what major version of windows they have that they should totally care about the concept of software freedom. privacy seems to be becoming more of a thing people are concerned with, but they don't want to actually do anything about it.
like once at a job i had back in 2011 the company was setting up a bunch of container offices and needed a bunch of basic computers to put in them. requirements was just firefox and skype. boss (head of IT) wanted to buy XP licenses for them, and i convinced him i could skin ubuntu to look like XP with firefox and skype available. for that kind of thing, operating system doesn't matter. it was just a kiosk that ran two programs, and it looked and felt enough like XP for this purpose that nobody even noticed

I really fucking hate how the disk encryption doesn't show you what you're tying in, it's really fucking not great if you're trying to debug a fucking keyboard issue and have no idea if a character is being dropped randomly, did they not think of that?

The distro doesn't matter much. But if you're on a system with 2GB RAM you'll want a minimal DE/wm which doesn't consume much RAM or use too many CPU cycles. Something like Trinity, openbox, iceWM, etc.
Q4OS, Antix or CachyOS+openbox should give you a system which idles at 300MB RAM. Or you can just use Arch, Fedora minimal or Debian and manually install one of these.
But if you're on 4GB+ RAM device any distro or DE should be fine.

I've had situations like this before, it's extremely annoying not knowing what exactly caused it.

There are better ways to handle this than being vindictive of the password prompt though. You don't even know if your criticism would have helped. What if when you were typing 'A', the keyboard was typing 'B'? In such a scenario, the password prompt would still show *******. Can't say I blame you though, issues like this are fucking annoying.

Anyway, maybe you can reproduce the issue and come to a more constructive conclusion.

I would start by investigating your password failure logs: https://draculaservers.com/tutorials/check-users-failed-login-attempts/

And look at logs around the same time of the failed attempts, or even right before you put your laptop to sleep. You could search for keywords like "pass" or "keyb" or "caps" to provide a few dumb examples.

If you fail to find anything, then at least you'll know you've searched exhaustively before accepting that you can't find a solution.

I started thinking this way long before Omarchy

Hence why I mentioned that, I thought some anons would be similarly aspie and have already done all this on Sway

just a little updoot: ive tried most of what is on their site, and also putting the binary on ~./local/bin/ (after creating it), it didnt work, probably because i didnt have it on $PATH

what worked was what i usually do: download > make executable > create a symbolic link pointing to /usr/local/bin

is there something wrong with this aproach? i always did that for palemoon.

>>106928975
What about keepassxc I've always used that over keepass.

If you use Keepass you should pretty much always be using KeepassXC

I think I'll just use firefox's password manager, since I need it anyway. The opposite of minimal but I doubt I can replace it.
>>106929046
Why?

>>106929064
It's the most updated and used these days. Though when you mention Firefox's password manager it's become actually quite good with the latest FF version because it now encrypts the passwords with AES-256 locally instead of just over sync.

Okay, I used imwheel instead. Back in Arch, when I set up imwheel it resulted in buggy scrolling but here on Mint it seems to be working just fine.I don't know why. Afaik device entries seem identical and so on.
I know that my mouse (Steelseries Aerox 3) has a firmware issue - if I change the polling rate from 1000 to 250 or 500 mousewheel starts bugging out and will scroll in random directions. This was already happening when it was brand new so that's a firmware issue... Regardless 1000 hz works fine.
On other note, I had some other mouse (Corsair) and its latest firmware update made the left button to double click. Only solution was to downgrade the firmware.

Seems like these manufacturers don't really care about anything else than selling trash to people.

I started to hate freetards when I updated my icecat and noticed I couldn't add certain search engines to the url bar quick searches. Mostly google just in case I need to use google map. So much for user freedom.
I know google is botnet but then somehow Duckduckgo come as default despite that shit being Bing(microjew) in disguised. Bing/DDG is sometime even more censored than jewgle and its map feature suck. I preferred biting the bullet and go on vanilla firefox and deal with hardening it myself rather than manually go to google via ddg each time I need to know which bus to take to go somewhere.
Respecting the user freedom is their supposed core principle and yet icecat came with a ton of garbage add-ons that I couldn't delete and didn't want to use. Really feel trannies or vegans trying to shove down everyone's throat their shit while pretending to be morally superior and freedom loving yet freedom stop when it doesn't align with their interest.
I guess with FOSS shit you better hope the lead dev isn't a faggot unless you want to fork that shit yourself to have a decent version.

>>106929918
Freedom means its open source so you can edit the source code how ever you want. Not that the user settings let you do whatever you want.

>>106929811
Fedora should have pipewire installed by default so he probably just needs to set some pipewire setting. I have no idea which though since audio just werks for me and my shitty $10 headset

Are you retarded? Icecat is the freetard version of Firefox, just what were you expecting? nobody forced you to use it, and is such a niche browser I assume you didn't find it by accident. If you installed icecat yourself then you should've known what to expect. This is like going to a vegan buffet and complaining about the lack of meat. Yes, the pre-installed extensions are a bit retarded but you can disable them, and the default search engine can be changed as well. And maps works just fine, so I don't know what you're talking about.

The true gentoo man makes his own games.

So linux has GTK theme (which are split into GTK 3 and 4, and I need to set up both), Qt themes I think? And then random bits and bops that use their own theming config, often in css, right? Am I forgetting something?

>I think the Apple Silicon Macs have custom hardware and thus standard images of Arm64 Windows or Arm64 Linux won't run.
Yeah they wont run without custom stuff but the hardware itself isn't locking down the bootloader and preventing other oses from being installed like with android devices

>>106930243
CachyOS packages are built for performance and uses a kernel that is also configured for performance. Power saving is not something taken into consideration.

>>106930278
Its mostly just gtk 3/4 and qt 5/6 (mostly qt6 now) and everything else is either hardcoded or supports their own custom way of theming or has an option to just copy the current gtk/qt theme.

>>106930392
Alright.
Now, I know I can download themes for all of these individually but is there a centralised way to download the same theme for all of them at once/from the same site? My problem is with consistency here, I want it to be all the same all across everything. I'd also need the colours used on those themes for the custom stuff but I can manually grab them from the GTK 3 files if needed.

>>106930352
Yeah true. I just think it's a shame that Macs used to better products than they are now

>>106930377
I think I heard that. But still devs have to reverse engineer the hardware if they want to run their OS on it right?

A package "built for performance and low latency" doesn't mean it magically forces your computer to use 110% power to gain 10% more performance. That would just mean there is no performance gain at all.
The performance gains come at no cost to your battery life.

>set ip_forwarding to 0
>now I can reach container from host localhost and LAN address but I can't from other network devices
how is that supposed to work? podman binds containers to 0.0.0.0:4000 so I should be able to reach them from any interface on my host machine, which I can given I run browser on that local machine, but I can't if I try to reach them from other network devices
my question is, how is it possible? How forbidding forwarding can stop other network devices but not local interfaces? I assumed that 0.0.0.0:4000 means that container is bound to every interface on machine so if I try to reach that container from network address that happens to be assigned to that machine, or any other address for that matter, no forwarding takes place
am I correct?
and if forwarding truly happens then how does it work using local network address (192.168.1.10) from that host?

>>106930498
Keep IP forwarding on and firewall them based on source address instead.

what I meant by night mode is like how you can just skin the entire fucking desktop in Win10 by choosing 1 (one) setting in the personalization options. gotta admit that was neat af. dw ain't going back. the thermals so far with sway just doing exactly the same shit are crazy. win10 actually was making my fan spin up constantly. now it's peaceful, even when running videos on youtube. it's fucking silent. and yeah this laptop is well maintained e.g. thermal paste renewed every few years. i'm pretty happy i did this. this may be the fucking year of the linux desktop.
in the past there was always a higher ratio of papercuts to neatness, today the ratio has shifted back in favor of neat shit. great timing because of the Win10 death. fuck microshit in the ass, very fucking evil company on multiple levels. rant over.

You're better off redistributing your game as an appimage

>>106930498
If you dot want your containers accessing the internet you should just set --net=none instead of setting ip_forwarding to 0. You will still be able to forward ports.

One thing is infuriating me about btrfs. It won't reflect the actual amount of free space even if I use a program like dysk because it allocates the space on the drive in the way it wants or some other shit.

I need your help guys. My computer crashed during a kernel update. Now I'm met with a blackscreen before the login screen.

Booting into recovery mode works fine. Using Linux Mint.

>>106931442
>firewalling them on the router actually makes sense for that scenario.
but I forgot, they will actually use address of my host machine since ip_forward is enabled
so I can't reliably filter them on my router

>>106931620
I would confirm with another user but sudo fsck /(whatever the drive) may work since you are in recovery and it works, or timeshift, do you have the mint usb?

Many distro devs are paid to do so.

>>106931699

>>106930634
No answer so I created another partition just for hibernating and left the zram alone (at least for now).
Everything seems to be working fine but now I've got two questions:
First one, will it check for session restore every single time it boots up, regardless of if hibernated it or not? I'm using systemd and mkinitcpio has the resume hook. I assume that's what controls this, but I don't quite understand what calls for that hook, and if I can make so that it only checks for resume if I have some stored in the swap partition I made.
Second: I also wanted to edit systemd logind to change behaviour when closing the lid, so I added:
>HandleLidSwitch=hybrid-sleep
To /etc/systemd/logind.conf. Default behaviour should be to suspend instead of hybrid-sleep. Now how do I test to check if this worked? I did not restart systemd-logind service on systemctl but I rebooted the computer a couple times while testing this stuff (and after making the changes to logind) so I assume it should have already updated itself, right?

why wouldnt it be
thats what its made for

If I was going to replace my nvidia card with an AMD card, and I'm currently using the nvidia driver, first I need to:
1) Switch back to Nouveau driver
2) Reboot (confirm driver has been changed)
3) Shut down
4) Swap GPUs
5) Reboot
Then I'm good to go? What would happen if I just swapped GPUs before switching the driver back to Nouveau, and it was still using nvidia's driver? Would I get a blank screen?

And how much performance increase would I get from swapping from an nvidia gpu to an equivalent amd gpu?
(In Halo Infinite I would get 70-ish fps at high settings on windows, while on linux even with the nvidia driver I'd drop below 50 at the lowest settings with 70% reduced render resolution)
Could I get equivalent fps/performance as windows + nvidia with an equal amd gpu + linux?

>>106932111
do i need to learn how to code?

>>106932195
you probably don't even need step #2, just uninstall the nvidia driver and power off. and I'm reasonably sure that if you have the nvidia driver installed while having a amd gpu, it will simply be ignored
and the free drivers for radeons are actually breddy gud and much better than the ones for windows, so it only depends on how good the card is compared to your previous one

>>106932228
dunno
depends on what you are trying to do with your computer

learning basics never hurts for automation

>>106931776
What are you using to flash the image? Use Etcher or Rufus if Etcher fails. Otherwise it might be your Windows that's fucking things up, in which case use a different machine or your phone https://etchdroid.app/

>>106931704
Yes I have the installation DVD still.

>>106932420
Is there a Rufus equivalent for linux, and by equivalent I mean something that can easily patch win11 instalation isos to work with local accounts.
>inb4 ltsc iot
Yeah, I know.

>>106932420
I used Fedora's Media Writer.

>>106931899
Some distros have options to send telemetry if you wish (I know Ubuntu does but it should be off by default nowadays) but by default Mint shouldn't be phoning home to anyone like Microsoft does.

I put Mint on my grandpa's laptop and he watches youtube, listens to music, reads the news, and checks his email. You can set it up to be as simple as you want it to be. He never has to touch even the taskbar/start menu, I just have shortcuts to the internet or to folders on the desktop to make it foolproof. You can also set security updates to be automatic. Drivers are automatically installed too. Comes with Libre Office which is basically Microsoft Office but free.

Installation is simple and first time you boot it up it puts you on the welcome screen which walks you through the steps as a beginner to customize your desktop, turn on the firewall, set up timeshift (system restore points), and set up security updates. An old, inexperienced person could probably run the installation themselves.

>>106932473
I don't think so. Even making a Windows ISO is technically unsupported on Linux which is why WoeUSB exists. Your best bet would be using Rufus in a Windows VM and passing your USB drive to it.

>>106932482
Yeah, I thought so. From my experience Fedora Media Writer isn't really as good on Windows or macOS. Etcher and Rufus are the gold standards for making bootable drives.

>>106932473
It's not a direct equivalent to Rufus (though I'd argue in most cases it's way better), but if you install Ventoy on a flash drive, it'll allow you to bypass the hardware check and online account setup if you boot a Windows 11 ISO with it.

>>106932658
Damn, I use ventoy and had no idea it had that feature. Do you just put a normal w11 iso on it and boot from that? No additional patching required? My ventoy install is probably quite old, do I need a new version of it for that? Works with the usual terminal commands to skip account creation? This is sweet.

>>106932673
Ventoy does have an auto update if it's old

It has happened twice by now that when I turn off the computer (with the poweroff command) it just freezes and stays frozen. What could be the issue?

>>106932673
You can put ventoy livecd on your ventoy stick and update it that way.
Use wimboot to boot windows isos. You will see the option after you choose the iso, it's the second one from the top.

>>106932781
It's not poweroff, it's sudo shutdown

>>106932818
>he doesnt have shutdown in his sudoers file

>>106932830
Kek, never ran poweroff but i bet it's some deprecated crap, the correct way is to run sudo shutdown

Maybe a dumbshit take, but I'll put it out there for the sake of discussion, you may call me curses or laugh at me after you've read this:
I think the Linux Desktop needs guidance / a clear vision if it wants to seriously take off and have more corporate software like adobe or office.
Why?
All these wild growths fuck shit up. Want to install something that bypasses your standard repo? You have the choice between three projects, one of which is also the standard repo for another distro. All three which advertise themselves as a way to easy install "portable" software hassle free these days. But you often have to install all three of them, because even if your software is available as a flatpack, you might be an appimage enjoyer or vice versa or you're a snap cuck.
Yes, these projects had different goals when they set out, doesn't change that they're being abused as something else.
Don't get me started on the whole gnome vs every other DE shitfest where gnome considers itself a completely different platform and not a "mere" DE, oh no, that's for the peasants.
It always takes only one fucker to completely ignore everything and fuck everything over. XKCD standards or some shit.

Someone who would do what Linus does for the kernel project with a clear vision would do good for the Linux Desktop. There's the risk that we might get an insufferable person like >le foot faggot ebussy in that seat, at which point I would just forever fuck off into the woods, but I still think it is worth a consideration.
Again, XKCD standards because if multiple people claim this seat we'll get nowhere. Someone up top must choose someone for this.

>INB4 XDG
Look at gnome, they don't give a flying fuck, they need to be beaten into submission or they won't play ball.

dont understand the issue

other than that i dont understand what issues you people are seeing/having
the biggest issue ive ran with FOSS ecosystem (besides dependency hell, but i've learned to love and accept this one for it is a consequence of root file systems being slim and being able to fit LITERALLY everywhere) is musl cultists vs glibc npc's.
trying to run precompiled glibc shit on musl system is unironically impossible compared to trying to rin windows shit which is fucking hilarious.
i dont know if you people have infinite skill issues or need to learn how to read or what, cause as far as im aware everything works with everything fairly fine.

Everyone agrees with this. Even Linus himself said he'd be fine if Valve takes charge on desktop since they're an extremely influential company which also happens to be very beloved.

And to an extent this is already happening. Systemd has become the standard, Wayland has become the standard, immutable distros might become a standard. There's been a massive shift towards phasing out (((distro maintainers))) in favor of direct software distribution through Appimages or Flatpaks. And KDE and GNOME are effectively the standard desktop environments with everything else being irrelevant or a niche reserved for special use cases.
KDE and GNOME being different is irrelevant since in 99.9% cases the applications used by end users work fine on both and developers don't target DEs specifically.

So there has already been a push towards standardizing the Linux desktop and improving the overall shitfest that is desktop Linux.

Unironically good in terms of support. Bad in terms of malware/other shit starting to infect Linux more than the 1-2% share.

I'm on the side of it being "good" in the case of proper fucking hardware support. My Steelseries Rival 5, for instance, requires me to (right now) use a VM for Win10/11 with it's shitty software to stop the revolving RGB on Linux because there is NO Linux drivers from Steelseries.

>>106933889
>to stop the revolving RGB
no option in the bios?

>>106933221
>So there has already been a push towards standardizing the Linux desktop and improving the overall shitfest that is desktop Linux.
Not until apt(-get), rpm, and/or pacman becomes the standard package manager going forward.

>But Flatpak
That's nice, but that doesn't resolve that Valve (right now) has issues with the flatpak Steam that package maintainer steam/"native" does not have.

>>106924196
Is there anyway to partition and auto-mount as (user) and not root in Linux?

I used gparted and since it wanted root privledges and not sudo (using root as user), the new drive is owned by root. I had to chown user:group (or the other way around? Most of it is going to be user:user more than likely normally) to own the drive to then mount it on Steam as a Steam game drive.

I'm wondering if there's a program (fdisk?) that runs as the user and lets the owner have permission, or if there's a way for root AND the user(s) to have ownership of the disk since this is different from Windows-land where the disk doesn't seem owned by anyone.

>>106933933
Not that I'm aware of. I don't have RGB lights on the motherboard or really anywhere besides the mouse.

...I did have to muck in the UEFI/BIOS to enable AMD's VM support since it wasn't on and then install linux-header(s) to get VirtualBox to run Win11.

Right pain in the ass, but was a good learning experience in how VBox runs.

>>106933984
oh its a mouse, i thought it was one of those fucked up handheld pcs
googled a bit and this thing seems to work https://github.com/flozz/rivalcfg

>>106934008
>>106933984
Rivalcfg is great for avoiding the bloated steelseries driver thing, no matter if you're on windows or linux.

>>106934008
>>106934048
Yeah, that was the first thing I tried but there isn't a config on that and you have to use python/etc. to maintain it since it's not actively maintained. Since I'm already using VBox for something in the future I was like "eh, fuck it, I'll install the malware/Windows just for one program to passthrough it now and then when it decides to turn itself back on," but I probably should find another mouse with actual on-board memory and/or no RGB going forward.

>>106933960
When a new partition is made it'll be owned by root by default. If you want the whole thing to be writable by anyone you can just chmod it to 0777, or chown it to nobody.
Ownership matters less than actual permissions.

I don't get why it doesn't let me have both the 32bit and the 64bit version

>>106934682
>free to brick your system
>not allowed to both versions of a package
is this the power of linux?!

>>106934682
so another package doesn't try to use the 32 bit version. this is basic version control and why linux dumping all their binaries and libraries into the same set of directories is such a clusterfuck.

Right, the problem with DLSS was just that at least in Mint, Bottles flatpak can't download the latest dxvk-nvapi which is 0.9.0 but only 0.7.1 download does something. It still doesn't seem to copy the dll file to system32.
Eg. ensure all of these are in system32, no need for environment variables unless game is a special case
>nvapi64.dll (nvapi)
>_nvngx.dll (from nvidia/wine)
>nvngx.dll
I don't know if Lutris is better but I like Bottles interface more and it makes more sense to me. Haven't tried Lutris yet but it seems like bloat. What is the Yuzu runner in Lutris for example? Does it actually download some Yuzu binary for Linux? Didn't they hear that Nintendo sued the yuzu devs...

i prefer native packages. if it's a free game, you should also provide a tarball of the game's binaries and assets, without it's dependencies, as that can be used as a source for native packages. you don't have to make packages for each distro, others will do that if it's popular enough. watch how quickly it'll show up in the AUR
