Any Forums - Linux thread

Linux mint is a great place to start user, shit just works there and the default interface is really similar to windows so you will not get lost.

Best of luck in your linux journey

Regular ubuntu is fine if you've never used it before. Maybe Kubuntu if you like Windows, I think the steam deck also uses KDE Plasma for the desktop.

Do I need to install any drivers on my own if i want to use arch?

I boot Windows purely for one SteamVR platform, and its not even a game.

>linux has not moved an inch since a year before Proton was released
lol
lmao

This guy's entire opinion may be safely discarded.

depends on hardware
if you're on amd mesa is usually pulled in as a dep pretty quick and I'll bet the EndeavorOS GUI installer asks about your hardware and will install either mesa or nvidia packages as necessary anyway
if you go bare arch just make sure you install the nvidia package, archinstall might ask about gpu drivers as well but I honestly haven't ever used it thus far

here's a video to skim through that shows the install process if you want a preview of how EndeavorOS' install process works
its just arch with a frontend installer

Does anybody know how to setup a controller in gnome? How do I map analog sticks?

Mint is a terrible meme distro, stop recommending it

if you have a recent kernel it should all be baked in natively

I think I fucked around with Proton Experimental too much and now I can't get certain games to launch on steam no matter what version of proton I use. I seem to remember someone saying that this could happen? is there some folder I have to delete? I can't get Elden Ring to start and so far I've tried
>trying the recommended proton/experimental
>trying the latest GE
>deleting the prefix and starting over
And it's still not starting.

if you go to your steam dir and to compatdata you can delete a specific game's WINEPREFIX (its the same number as the game's appid)
this can help sometimes when steam gets confused

actually wish this was my desktop, how do i?

OP fucked up by not explicitly mentioning video games in the original post, but it's pretty clear from replies that the current topic being discussed in this thread is Linux GAMING, which is on-topic for this board. Screaming "NOOO YOU CAN'T GAME ON LOONIX" won't make my games stop working on Linux btw, just saying

Yes
linux alternatives are trash

What do you mean?
Yes, it sees my controller but I have to map the buttons to become usable. Is there a good tool that supports analog sticks as well?

most controllers just have native drivers
if its not getting picked up in a game, usually steam can catch it for you but some games do better with Steam Input disabled
Code Vein is one example that has native DS4 integration that requires Steam Input to be disabled, for instance

I'm not him and I'm not sure exactly what about your controller isn't working out of the box, but if you want to map controller buttons/sticks to keyboard/mouse, you could try qjoypad.
I once set it up to control my mouse cursor with an Xbox 360 controller. Never did much with that setup but it was neat.

Reality Mod for Battlefield 3 just came out today. It uses the "VU" modding framework (Venice Unleashed). It requires Origin (not Steam). However, I can't get it to run on Wine, neither vanilla BF3 nor the mod. It's running on a Wine 7.0 prefix with DXVK 1.10.1 installed.

Any linuxbros that have been successful in etiher getting Battlefield 3 or VU to run here? For vanilla BF3, I only got up to hitting Play, using a spoofed useragent in my browser for Battlelog, hitting play campaign, and then the game proper launching but nothing happening

Apparently the problem with VU that I'm seeing in forum posts from 2 years ago is that it requires shared resources, a feature that DXVK did not have at the time and is only experimental in 1.10.1. Once I open VU, I get stuck in a loading screen with rapidly increasing RAM usage and my console saying
>"Failed to create shared resource: VK_KHR_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_WIN32 not supported"
Was anyone successful in getting this to work?

You mean all of your personal documents and pictures and porn being uploaded to onedrive without your consent, and getting forced updates, and having antivirus shit shoved down your throat?

Yeah, that's a lot better than the pain of learning the linux terminal for a couple of hours.

I fell for the gentoo meme, but as soon as I got a window system and KDE working I immediately switched over and have been to scared to go back to a terminal since. I have so many questions about it still even though I've been using Linux for a few weeks now.

Too much hassle when Wine/Proton/Bottles can handle nearly everything fine.

Building distros from scratch is fun, but you can literally sit there for hours and do your head in. Try pacing yourself next time, user.

>what are overlays?
basically AUR for gentoo
>what are profiles?
base system set of packages iirc
>how do I begin with bash? or should I use zsh?
bash just werks, just google "bash X" and you'll find a quick guide or tutorial and learn over time
>how do I properly uninstall software?
package manager
>how is installation and building done without a package manager?
if its not in your repos you build from source and usually install to /usr/share or /opt
when in doubt, check for user packages if they exist for your distro to avoid having to do this

It's contained inside a wine prefix so I don't care, I just want to play the videogame. Do you know of any leads that might help?

everything related to software is handled by your distro's package manager, so just search how to install or remove software with the one you're using for example
>sudo zypper install xyz
>sudo zypper remove xyz
if you want to install packages without the package manager then you are going to be following installation instructions that they will provide, but the short of it is you'll be given a python script that you run in the terminal and it usually handles everything for you provided you have all dependencies

Just start on Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is not good, but it will teach you how everything works. Leave it for something better. At this point you'll be able to make the choice because you'll know what you're looking for. Fuck Linux Mint, fuck Linux Mint users.

Just start on Ubuntu and make the jump once you know what you're doing.

I actually want to take a look at LFS now because I think that will help me understand things more, but I would like to learn a shell before I go any further. I ask a lot of questions and I even feel like that there was a lot unanswered even though I took the hard way and started with gentoo right off the bat.

>It's contained inside a wine prefix so I don't care
Not that you care, but Wine prefixes aren't sandboxed.

>how do I properly uninstall software?
for gentoo:
>sudo emerge --unmerge X
>sudo emerge --depclean
optionally:
>sudo eclean-dist
>sudo eclean-pkg
just be careful it doesnt remove any deps that aren't pulled into @world

>fuck Linux Mint users
not sure why you're butthurt but lol
I haven't seen anyone this mad at Mint users since the Lutris devs went all "NOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST REPORT BUGS"

any fellow LUKSbros? what's your backup strategy?

So that's a no

>Uploaded to onedrive without your consent
You have to sign in with a Microsoft account and actively enable onedrive for it to upload files.

Just use W10 LTSC IoT and you have a minimal install with no bloatware or even onedrive preinstalled.

Personally I'd take the hassle to have 100% compatibility. If the hassle we are speaking of is setting it up for the first time.

if I have to install a secret club version of Windows for it to fuck off I'd rather use Linux.

So after reading this thread, I guess Linux Mint is the way to go? How big is it, my current SSD only has like 12 gigs left.

no idea what you read

>Just use W10 LTSC IoT and you have a minimal install with no bloatware
And the telemetry? and all of the rest of the awful fucking design issues of Windows? LTSC fags are delusional.
>Personally I'd take the hassle to have 100% compatibility. If the hassle we are speaking of is setting it up for the first time.
The hassle goes beyond "just setting it up". It's having to constantly maintain it. The fact that you can have higher system input response times. The fact that it can fuck with things like VRR/exclusive fullscreen even if you're using a dedicated GPU for your windows guest.
>bb-bu muh chinese rootkit anticheat fps games, muh adobe products
Shit software is shit software period. If you have to jump through 10 hoops just to use shit software you are out of your mind.
If all you care about is games, EndeavorOS is the current noob friendly OS.

I'm curious about how it could fuck with VRR/exclusive fullscreen if the VM is supposed to have exclusive use of the GPU.

I was legitimately planning to go with a Linux + gpu passthrough VM for gaymes setup for my next build. I'm not only concerned with software compatibility but the GPU drivers having better performance on Windows.

>Unironically SteamOS, Valve has a good and simple Arch Linux distro
Please stop. The currently released downloads for SteamOS are outdated by ten years and have not been updated to the version of SteamOS that Valve are using for the Deck. And there's no reason to install something like HoloOS unless you are running a UMPC because it comes with some very strict requirements. People should be using Endeavor or just going straight Arch considering how retardproof the archinstall script is now.
>I'm curious about how it could fuck with VRR/exclusive fullscreen if the VM is supposed to have exclusive use of the GPU.
It's still a VM. One that has to interface and share resources with a host machine so you open yourself up to occasional issues with how the GPU talks to the windows kernel, which then interfaces with QEMU or whatever to talk with the Host machine. Despite how well it works to virtualise machines and operating systems the notion of "gpu passthru setups have 99% accuracy for games" is not true at all. It was viable 2018-2020 when Wine/Proton was still shit but now its a distant option that has issues.

instaling steamOS on a desktop is a dumb choice right now since it's specifically meant for the deck and nothing else
either install endeavourOS or wait for the actual steamOS 3.0 desktop release

How is video editing on Linux? I'm most likely going to install both Windows and Linux on my next PC anyways, but I also do a lot of video editing (Adobe Premiere). How's the support coming along for it? If that and games get viable support then I might just become Linux-exclusive once Windows 10 stops getting support. I have no interest in moving to Windows 11.

Classicshell has been a thing for ten years. But you're right. It seems that on the Windows side of things we're moving more into the age now where the actual makers of the product deliberately make a previous design worse, all to accomodate advertising. So then that makes room for third parties to swoop in and make simple solutions and then gate it behind payments or patreon or whatever. Quite disgusting. It's why I've donated to software like Reaper in the past because I appreciate devs who just make good software in the first place.

They're just bookmark folders that drop down when you click them. Firefox allows you to drag things wherever you want. Putting them up there gave me a little bit more page real estate since I don't need a bookmarks bar.

>not using linux to turn an old craptop into something usable
It's like the one thing linux has always excelled at. Whenever a boomer in my family complains about their antique laptop running like shit I just pop some version of ubuntu on there and show them where the internet and solitaire buttons are. It's pretty much always smooth sailing from there.

eh, not quite for me then. I tried mozilla's multi-account containers to shuffle away tabs and that was a good idea until I switch to one and suddenly a non-zero amount of tabs want to all load at once.

my search continues.

It's nothing to do with tabs, retard. Read my post again.

I know. Bookmarks are a worse solution that the multi-account containers.

What exactly's your problem? Too many open tabs?

Yes. Tabs I "want to get to eventually (never do) so I pin them and force unload them from memory".
Multi-account containers mostly worked but when you change containers every tab in it will load immediately.

Bookmarks are a bit too long-term for my liking. Your folder icons gave me a bit hope is all.

The funniest part is with wayland and the """security""" changes that prevent processes from inspecting eachothers' buffers, you could feasibly use this gif for linux users posting pictures of their desktop too.
Or at least you could a few years ago, its gotten a lot better

yeah

You'll soon learn to hate Nvidia for never fixing major bugs that have been open for years

I do that already on wangblows

It launches but the color palette is fucked, maybe Xephyr could help

i prefer gnu plus linux

zsh can have some nice visual aids that could help you learn or see commands easier without just installing bash-completion and pressing tab

blessed thread

Literally just use arch. Steamos has a read only file system that forces you to use flatpaks/appimages.

kek, motherfucker.

Pretty good for normies which always fuck the computer easily. It is foolproof.

its an annoyance for anyone who wants to add any packages
t. own a deck

for desktop use just use something arch-based
arch with archinstall or read a wiki
EndeavorOS if you need a GUI instead of a TUI

Attached: catbleed.png (613x663, 422.93K)

I also own a deck.
You know you can flatpak stuff right?
It doesn't HAVE to have an official flatpak.

Then you can install the different OS in your deck yourself. SteamDeck/SteamOS is designed for the normies.

pretty worthless for anyone who actually wants to learn to use linux as a daily driver

Most normies aint into that shit. They want to play simply.

imagine going on a tirade against linux spanning a dozen tweets then capping it off with
>oops I lied

Attached: 1658116394493.png (489x245, 35.35K)

and lose out on features like suspend and resume? you can setup an overlay fs if you don't want to be limited to flatpaks, but it's still a giant inconvenience

Then they should stay the fuck away. Linux will never be retard friendly. Literally just use windows.

It sounds like you are only one, who has that petty problem. Valve/Normies don't care about you.

yes
flatpak doesn't have everything and has its own annoyances
see: having to add overrides etc. for proper theming or filesystem access to syncthing saves
I'm keeping it on SteamOS for now, not sure how vital Valve's particular updates are for it yet and haven't dug for their session handling script(s)
yes I know I can add their repos to arch

SteamOS is very much intended for use on the Deck only right now, even via HoloISO since it has a lot of defaults that don't work well for other setups
see: echo cancel monitor setups causing frametime issues until you nuke their setup

Then you should stay the fuck away from SteamOS. Cope harder, freetard

You lose suspend and resume if you install something else. That's a huge feature, especially for something that's supposed to be a handheld. Suspend and resume actually makes it function like one.

yeah, just get used to it and cope harder or switch to the different OS.

>flatpak doesn't have everything and has its own annoyances
Uh, it actually does have everything, that's kind of the point.

>install EndeavorOS (or arch)
>install gpu drivers (proprietary if nvidia); likely done already on EndeavorOS install

you're free from Big Michael

I can't wait to watch a normie try to run and debug a lutris install script on steamos when it decides to not work. Really user friendly experience. That's the nature of linux. Put as many retard filters up as you want, it still won't change.

if it had everything I wouldn't need to use the steamdeck readonly toggle and get the arch keys set up after an update now would I?

when you think about, windows is to linux what consoles are to PC

Attached: 1658116722527.png (635x635, 61.88K)

You have already lost normies on step 1, let alone steps 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

installing Windows takes more steps
unironically

Well, flatpak can't really help you if you're installing non-flatpaks.
Dummy.
Might as well complain that apt failed you there.

Attached: 13q2.jpg (500x285, 24.64K)

I'm fine with sticking to steamOS for a handheld video games machine. Running it as a daily driver on a desktop would be pure retardation.

the point is flatpak doesn't have everything

>a normie try to run and debug a lutris install script
Why the normies need to do that?

to play a single video game that isn't on steam

Then the official SteamOS for desktop is not for you.

they might want to play Warzone or some dumb shit

It does, all the associated dependencies are included with whatever software application you're installing.
If you're fucking with core system files (That you barely have a reason to fuck with, especially if external applications are all going to be running through Flatpak or the Steam Linux Runtime. Yeah of course it doesn't work for that, but that's just a result of you being a total dummy about it.

there is no official SteamOS 3.0 designed for use on systems that aren't the Steam Deck

just like what eve online players are to nerds, what nerds are to normal people

it
doesn't

everything

I know what flatpak is
flathub doesn't have everything

There is no steamOS for desktop. You're jerry rigging it if you use it that way.

I use lutris to run my fav non-steam game, BOTF on my steamdeck. No issue here. I find lutris simple, and of course it is a bit bloatware. It still works.

should i prefer flatpak or appimages?
can i use gamemode on flatpaks?

Tell me about endeavor os.

I haven't used Lutris for much but basically none of the scripts worked except for a battlenet install
:(

>Linux is too complex! I don't want to input a million arcane commands just to get to a desktop! I don't want to see a terminal!
>okay, here's a desktop
>heh, am I supposed to be impressed?
Lmao talk about insecurity.

When lutris works it's fine. That isn't always the case. You are basically playing russian roulette with every install script.

its arch
with a gui installer tacked in front of it on a liveboot usb

Try this flathub.org/apps/details/com.usebottles.bottles

I have nothing but bad things to say about every single install script I've tried.

I just made manual lutris entries for a few things when testing if the scripts failed
basically bottles
that or just used wine/winecfg directly in the terminal

try these nutz on your face, faggot

then go back to windows faggot

Fair enough, I'm a retard that deleted my windows so no going no back for me.

Winning argument here, you really proved the year of the linux desktop is coming. Just two more weeks. I like steamOS and I've had a great experience with the deck running games. I like linux in general and I don't mind debugging things when I have to but it's not and will never be normie friendly. The second you deviated from the steam environment, you will have a nightmare on your hands if you don't know what you're doing.

can always just try adding a game as a non-steam-game too
has just werked for quite a few things

It works on my steamdeck. Too bad you can't get it working cuz you are retarded. Cope harder, faggot.

>The second you deviated from the steam environment, you will have a nightmare on your hands if you don't know what you're doing.
Low skill. Stay in your gamur containment zone please.

Staying in the steam environment has generally worked with little issue. Trying to install FFXIV through lutris was a giant mistake. Lutris doesn't work the majority of the time in my experience. Proton does. It took installing the steam demo and setting some flags in launch options, with a specific version of protonGE and some ini editing to get it working.

Once again you have proved me right. The year of the linux desktop is never coming. If I have any ounce of trouble getting something running, how is grandma or zoom zoom expected to do it?

Sounds like the training wheels I need.

archinstall is a TUI which is practically the same as the GUI but less shiny
either of them work fine and give you a working system
enjoy

i know archinstall isnt all that good but did you really have to call it a Tranny UI?

>The year of the linux desktop is never coming.
Keep repeating it and it might come true
>how is grandma or zoom zoom expected to do it?
Grandma and zoom zoom can barely do anything on a windows desktop without complaining so you're full of shit.
