Newbie here. What's the simplest way to run .exes in the same environment that steam runs in? Like, if I wanted to run a patcher .exe for a game, run an alternative launcher .exe, or even just run the game without opening steam. (assuming it's one that doesn't force integrate with it)

Should one have swap on SSD? And, if so, what swappiness level is appropriate?

I own 32GB and use no swap whatsoever, never crashed my PC.

>>552328142
>Don't you own ram?
That's a funny joke in current times. But I'm not even saying I need swap. I mean, I probably do, but that's not the point. It's just that I know Linux Mint and probably other distros will default to having swap (unless I'm wrong and it defaults to no swap when installing to SSD). My current Mint install is on HDD, next one will be on SSD, and I want to make sure I'm setting things appropriately so as not to wreck the SSD, because I've heard that SSDs are self-destructing devices i.e. they have limited writes.

The archive sees all...

>>552328017
I have been using zram (1:1 ratio, lz4, swappiness 180) for years now with success, never OOM'd and I never notice any slowdown from swapping. A "correct" swappiness value can be calculated by measuring the I/O speed. For SSDs you should have at least 60. I wouldn't worry about it too much though, just swap to the fastest device you have.

I didn't actually run this the whole time, but... It's up.
Unfortunately the result is not very interesting. Linux went down by 0.01%, to 3.19%, so December had the second-highest recorded monthly user share for Linux after November's all-time high. A change of 0.01% is less than the usual noise, so even if it had gone up by 0.01%, it would basically mean nothing changed. But if anyone from /v/ is reading then feel free to tell me that I'm coping and that a 0.01% drop means it's all over.

Forgot to try the game's CRT filter. Not the worst I've seen.
It's making my screenshots 4.2 MB though, so I'll have to convert this to JPEG and hope nothing of value is lost. Previously I'd used GIMP for this, but let's see what ImageMagick does if I just `convert image.png image.jpg`...
Well damn, it basically looks the same and it's much smaller. I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised that it doesn't do any disgusting compression unless I say so, but I'm impressed. I actually can see that the pixels aren't identical if I put my face right up to the screen and flip between the images in full size, but it doesn't look any worse.

>let me guess, I won't be able to do this with Wayland because there's no use case
Correct, but you can do it with a kde plasma wayland specific solution and it's _easy_, just do this:

1. Create a program with a dbus event listener and when you click the screenshot key make it run that
2. Write a javascript program which will get run by the kde plasma wayland compositor which gets the focused window title and calls your other script with dbus when it's done (like this https://github.com/relativemodder/gsr-qt/blob/main/daemon/kwin/gsrkwinhelper.js)
3. Send that javscript program to the kde plasma wayland compositor with dbus

So much simpler than xdotool amirite? :^)

Just to clarify what I mean by this, here's the filename I get if I just do the following:
>scrot --focused --file=/home/${USER}/Pictures/Screenshots/'$W | %Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S.png'
For mobile posters who can't figure out how to see a filename, it detected the window title ($W) as "steam_app_12140".

Excellent.
It didn't convert this one because it's just under 4 MiB (2^20 B) but over 4 MB (10^6 B). Let's see if 4chan actually lets me upload. If it does then I think my file size check is correct.

This one got JPEG'd, but I don't know exactly how big it was originally, because I decided to make the script remove the original after converting. Going by the size of the one I converted manually before, it was probably just barely too big for posting.
... I should probably try to check size and convert before writing to disk, in order to avoid the extra I/O. I think it's possible. It happens to be the case that I'm already saving the screenshot as
>scrot --focused --pointer --file=- > "${output}"
where ${output} is the window title given by xdotool, because I had stripped this title only of characters that would be bad for filenames and didn't want to deal with also stripping it of any character sequences that would be interpreted as special escape codes by scrot (e.g. those seen in the --file argument in >>552347335). The relevant part is that scrot is just puking bytes instead of handling the file write. So instead of redirecting directly to the file, can I assign those bytes to a bash variable and then check the length of it before conditionally converting with ImageMagick? I assume ImageMagick can convert bytes passed to stdin because it seems to be capable of just about everything I ever want to do (even if it sometimes takes me a while to nail the syntax).

>>552359780
if you have a filesystem mounted to ram (you can check with mount | grep tmpfs, on Mint it's /dev/shm for example), you can save file there, effectively keeping it in RAM

>>552359780
Hm... img_bytes=$(scrot --file=-) gives an error about null bytes.
I'd probably have to pipe the bytes from scrot directly to convert, but doing that conditionally based on size would require some extra effort. I asked the technology that will soon take my job, and it gave me this.
>>552360995
That's another option. I do have a /dev/shm. So things written there don't go to disk? Funny that the LLM didn't recommend that. I did reject its first idea of a temporary file with mktemp, but I did so by asking for a solution that doesn't require additional disk I/O.

>>552362060
it can get swapped to disk the same way normal memory pages do, but normally it's ram-only

>>552364315
Oh, good point.
Well, in any case, I think using /dev/shm is the way to go, because the image trimming part was already split off into its own script that expects filename input, and now I've done the same with the convert-if-too-big part.

... aaand done.
Thanks >>552360995 for letting me know /dev/shm exists. I was about to go and rewrite my script to do something like >>552362060, but being able to read/write files in RAM let me use what I already had with almost no changes.
Just had to move the file from /dev/shm/ to ~/Pictures/Screenshots/ at the end.

Well, I bought the parts for that PC discussed in the last thread. Prices for things really add up, especially when you're not getting the best price. Obviously RAM prices are fucked and that's why this is a budget build (in which the most expensive single component, actually, is a GPU that I already bought a year ago), but that i5-12400F CPU was actually about $44 cheaper not long ago. Will the price go back down? Fuck, I don't know. If it turns out that I bought a lower-end CPU for the worst-ever price then I'll be mad for a while but it's not really going to affect my life. That motherboard's price also went up by $10 after I added it to the list a couple of days ago.
The thing is, I've really just got to say YOLO and buy it, because if I don't then I'll fret and procrastinate for another decade and never do it. My current system, except for a PSU replacement and the upgrade to a 5-year-old GPU last year (the one I'll re-use for the new system), is about 12 years old now, and I've been thinking of upgrading it for at least half that time. I've probably overpaid by $100 for the new build by waiting too long and/or not waiting long enough... but at least I don't like modern games enough to be paying literally thousands for a GPU and several hundreds more for RAM.
Not going to post the full parts list because I don't need further nitpicking of my choices now that it's too late. Just wanted to vent and also say I'll probably just quit gaming if parts arrive broken or some shit. I literally just don't want to deal with RMAs etc., I mean holy shit what a pain in the ass that would be. So wish me luck on the delivery guy not dropping the boxes too hard.

I might be inclined to think that if people are satisfied with crap like phones or tablets, and data centers get their fair share of shit, they will to pump and dump the manufacturers and the prices should settle if there is no demand for that.
it's another FOMO tactic to me, to nickle and dime us with expensive components.
At the same time it would be a tactic to get us to rent PCs instead of owning them, but I think that's far from good for the goyim, even.

yeah, nobody wants latency. Youtubers and streamers are also far from happy and people just follow the common opinion. Some will use that service of course, it's been here for a while after all (the nvidia one), but most will just keep going with their integrated graphics and call it a day.
The biggest problem I see with the service is that nobody wants to wait to play, or have limited playtime like it's some stupid internet cafe - not taking into account ownership.

Actually I don't know. I usually don't see Linux threads get deleted unless they're completely off-topic i.e. the OP doesn't say anything about video games. Maybe the Windows shills derailed it too hard, or maybe "are you gaming on [platform]?" is not considered a good topic by some mod/janny.

Yeah, I think most people would hate this even if the amount of time is more than they will ever use — firstly because people don't like restrictions in general, and secondly because they overestimate the amount of free time they'll have (source: the number of unplayed games in Steam libraries).

Is it part of DXVK yet?
Also it's funny how the dgVoodoo2 dev has his GitHub project in archive mode with a "don't have time for this" note on the README but still keeps doing releases — which apparently requires unarchiving and rearchiving, judging by the fact that it now says archived since December 13th and I know it was archived long before that. I get that he's probably not dedicating as much time to it, but perhaps archiving the repo isn't the best way to communicate this state of slower development if he has to undo and redo it over a dozen times for all the releases since the first time I saw it was archived. This thing has had more releases in the past couple of years than some projects that aren't pretending to be dead. It seems like it's just a way to keep people from opening issues, even though he also deletes all old releases with the justification that "regression bugs won't be reported and fixed" if people stick to an old version and don't try the latest. How the fuck are people supposed to report those bugs if the GitHub repo is locked? Is there some other place where he wants bugs reported?

I've been using linux mint for a good 4 months now and it's served me pretty well. Nothing has been incompatibly yet until I realized I can't download BYOND directly.

With the ram prices right now switching to linux just makes sense. Look at the ram usage difference.

>>552742802
There's probably something going really wrong there. On my old computer with Windows I had about the same idle RAM usage as I do now on Linux. Which is about 25-30%, so running a game on top of that should yield not a particularly different result as far as RAM usage goes.

Dude wtf are you talking about? Imps spawning behind the back and shotgun with the range of air gun definitely didn't age well. And if you put right mods on HL2 especially on guns and their animations it plays pretty much modern with satisfying gunplay.

>>552747518
With how narrow and tight the level design is in Doom 3, the shotgun works fine, for everything mid to long range combat you gave a lot of other weapons to use.
And it doesn't matter how much you mod HL 2, it won't fix the enemies/levels and the dogshit vehicle sections.

>>552882738
>poe was meh
I want to hear more about this. When did you try it? What level (or act) did you get to? I'm a former poe addict who thinks the game is absolute trash right now

Does RetroArch play nicely with Linux?

looks like it happens on windows too if you have amd's instant replay on too. must be a thing where having something like that enabled increases power usage.

Yeah, I noticed that too on a VM. I've solved this by going to Updates settings and clicking "Check Again". After that it started to downloading ge-proton and Proton-GE (Latest) entry showed up in wine settings.

>>552906632
oh you are right
now its downloading proton-ge
it seems kinda buggy

>>552907252
Well last release was almost a year ago and there are plenty of fixes in the git master so I use lutris-git instead.

>>552907440
are you on arch?

what the fuck capcom, did they push out an uopdate to fuck the performance? game used to be smooth as butter. ive seen a few protondb and plebbit reports of poor performance out of nowhere but no concrete solutions. weird because the pragmata demo ran beautifully on here too, as did every other re engine game i played (not monhun)

>>552891442
Holy shit, neato.

>>552923624
Sorry about the delay - I rebuilt wine, and the game at least booted this time, saying it couldn't find the config. Launching from the directory instead makes it fail to load at all, silently.

related, but using lossless scaling framegen helps soften the blow a bit running at 120fps and not alot of input lag but yeah otherwise, changing graphical settings on the game didnt help th framerate before that either

btw lutris does not download the latest version of proton-ge
its not umu-downloading it either, its lutris and putting it on the .local/share/lutris/runners folder

>>552907252
>>it seems kinda buggy
It is, I had this problem too where I was missing Wine versions for months and then it suddenly fixed itself. It's buggy or extremely unintuitive how it fetches Wines

>>552958681
also it seems like it didnt download the default umu-proton
seems like it needs a new release already

>>552967105
i meant umu is not downloading proton-ge
its lutris and it doesnt download the latest version

so im trying faugus
i installed it from the AUR and the installation was surprisingly fast
it seems really nice for a simple game manager and umu frontend

>>552975010
more like fagus lmao

>>552967616
I had the same issue, reported it in this very thread days ago, i managed to fix it by switching to lutris-git, because I was using the 0.5.19 which was taken off for some reason.
Now umu downloads the latest ge version but it sure took its time, like 10 mins for some reason.

>>552979291
im using faugus now
its very simple and lighweight
lutris has a lot more options. i might installe lutris-git too
btw did proton-ge get installed to the compatibilitytools.d steam folder?
because the non git lutris downloads it to .local/share/runners instead, so steam cant use it

>>552979641
In my case, I have proton-ge-custom, umu-launcher installed separately from the AUR and can pick them in Steam if needed.

>>552979890
you installed umu from the AUR?

>>552983301
yeah, but still haven't found a standalone use for it when Lutris works for now

>>552983627
so steam can use that proton-ge-custom-bin from the AUR?

>>552983695
yeah, you can also get the newest ge version per ProtonUp-Qt if you don't want to get it from AUR

>>552983878
umu downloaded proton-ge to the compatibilitytools.d steam folder so i guess there is no need
if i switch to lutris i guess i can also get proton-ge from the aur

Have anyone tried modding native versions of unity games? Mods usually tell you to use Unity mod manager, which only works with windows versions of games through wine. But looking online, I see there's a number of other mod loaders (bepinex, melonloader etc.), some of which supposedly work with linux native games.

>>552988019
I've modded Valheim Windows build on Linux. If Windows mod manager doesn't work under Proton (which is strange) you can always follow manual installation process. And most Unity games doesn't have so much mods so you can simply go manual for each mod.

Done with the black mod on Warrior difficulty, again, won't bother with the last 2, though I would recommend playing the base Sigma 2 version first before playing the mod and good god Team Ninja definitely improved on the bosses with Nioh and future titles because the bosses in Ninja Gaiden are scuffed as fuck.

>>552900975
>>552901505
Yes. On nvidia its the nvidia driver that does it (by force) and on amd gpu screen recorder does it because amd driver has an issue where video encoding performance gets bad and inconsistent when playing a heavy game and if you play a video on your system the video encoding performance will drop by half and stay there even after you close the video. I think thats an amd driver bug.
If I remove that forced high performance mode and capture with "sync to content" framerate mode then the power usage doesn't increase when using the desktop

>>553026748
vaapi also supports a low power mode, but amd doesn't support it. On the other hand it's the only mode supported on intel arc

Anyone tried dlss 4.5? I feel like with NVAPI it should be easy to use it, but I'm not in the mood to use my computer atm

>>553028013
