How to use Mod Organizer 2 in Lutris:
1. Install the game of your choice on Steam and get it running.
2. Download Mod Organizer 2 (.7z instead of .exe) from GitHub and extract it, preferably on the same drive as your Steam instance where the game is located.
3. In Lutris, press the '+' which is located at the top left corner of the screen. A pop up box with some options will appear.
4. Select 'Add locally installed game'
5. In the 'Game info' tab, name your game and select 'Wine (Runs Windows games)' from the 'Runner' drop down list.
6. In the 'Game options' tab, navigate to where your ModOrganizer.exe is located and choose it for the executable, then select the game's Steam prefix folder as the wine prefix. This can be found in /Steam/steamapps/compatdata/. Your game's folder is usually the same as its Steam ID (i.e. Skyrim is '489840') but if you're unsure you can refer to the next step.
7. Download Protontricks and run it. A list of detected games will be presented alongside their wine prefix folders, select the game, then select 'select the default wine prefix' and then 'Install a Windows DLL or component' and download and install vcrun2022 inside it, which is necessary for MO2 to run.
8. Back in Lutris, in the entry's 'Runner options' tab, select 'Proton - experimental' as your version of wine.
9. Now you should be able to select the game entry in Lutris and run it. When it runs, Mod Organizer will start and you can configure and run the game from there.

You must run Mod Organizer 2 for every game that you want to manage. To do this, you only need one portable instance of MO2 (i.e. zip folder as opposed to installing via executable), because when you provide the Lutris entry the managed game's wine prefix folder, it will automatically create a new instance for that folder. In other words, you can use the same MO2 executable with different wine prefix folders, and in this way you'll have different instances per game.

I have mixed feelings about even mentioning that here on the designated shitting board. We've already had one undermedicated schizo in there this weekend.

>all those steps describing what to click on a GUI
This is why I prefer programs that have a fully-featured command-line interface, so that I can just copy someone else's command for what I don't know how to do or save a script for things I'll do more than once.
>>
>>720678025
yeah but a buncha new people are gonna jump ship as soon as windows 10 is dead so we need ezmodo tutorials like that for noobs so they won't piss and shit themselves in despair because linux is about as complicated as building a house from scratch if you don't know what you're doing.
>>
>>720678329
My post is about how pasting a command or running a script is literally easier than following a long list of what to click on a GUI, but okay. I guess Windows bros are used to the latter. Imagine doing everything manually over and over and over again. But to each his own. Wouldn't want to force them into what they call "coding" (typing the name of a command/script, maybe with some arguments, and pressing Enter).

>>720674257
Not OP but here's a game.
Please move the goalposts just enough that this game doesn't count and then keep doing that every time another game is posted. It's my favorite part of Linux threads.

Frankly I just don't want to deal with all potential issues that my software library would face if I'd move to Linux. I was contemplating LTSC for more years of win10 but unfortunately I think the most likely route I end up taking is Win11 ""upgrade"". Like all the shit to deal with I think least stressful choice is to take the easiest and worst option and trying to make the worst option slightly less bad afterwards.
It still boggles my mind how the fuck MC managed to fuck up Win11 so fucking hard in the most retarded trend chasing and data harvesting way possible.
>>
I use CachyOS and I get 20-30 more frames than I did on win10 or win11.
Windows is the console experience of PC. You're basically a snoy

I accidentally nuked my system a few days ago. Mistyped rm ./ in the terminal. Also Aero is still pure soul. If (you) stay on Windows, I hope at least you hacked it to look like Win7.

>gaming thread
I started Star Trek: Resurgence which is kinda mixed. It's janky af with ugly women but at least it's TNG universe so no mass shooting and stupid violence. Other than that, OW2 and Blue Archive. I might start something else.
>>720679978
One of the best things about Linux/wine is having prefixes. If you remove the prefix you can just start over installing the stuff games may require like directsound and stuff.

Not throwing shade at you specifically, but every KDE screenshot I see has those awfully big numbers for the clock and date. Is that not something you can edit?
>>
>>720673789
Anyone see any improvements in Linux Mint 22.2? It uses a newer kernel which I hear is better for vidya somehow.
>>
>>720682892
The default clock scales with the taskbar (panel) size. There might be custom clock widgets that has custom size feature.... also there is the panel colorizer widget that can modify widgets sizes and stuff. I used the later one when I had my Win98 theme and needed to change the size of the "start menu" icon.
>>
>>720683286
That makes more sense, yea. I've always thought it was weird because that font size (with the default panel size, I assume) doesn't follow any of the padding around the taskbar nor does it follow any hierarchy with the other fonts on the screen.
