My friend wanted to switch to Linux so I got him on Linux Mint because it was the easiest and I could help him since I used it these past 8 months. He's enjoying gayming on Mint but has only one problem. He can't seem to launch Ubisoft Connect via Lutris or Heroic Launcher, and I have no idea how to help him as I don't buy games that need their own launcher. He has the Steam version of For Honor, could he just use his Ubisoft account for that and not lose his gaming progress instead of trying to use Ubisoft Connect on Lutris? He claims he cannot but every website I read tells me otherwise. He's not the brightest when it comes to computers.

>>568753871
absolutely proprietary

>>568755079
I see that Bottles has an installer for Ubisoft Connect, although I've never tried it. For what it's worth, whether that one works shouldn't be affected by what distro he's using, because Bottles is Flatpak-only. If it doesn't work then it's probably because Ubisoft updated the launcher in some way that broke Wine compatibility.

>>568757040

It is interesting that it's marketed first and foremost as a tool to "run Windows software" but I think it's mostly used for games.

As if not being able to restart a race during a tournament weren't bad enough, Start-Down-A (yes I'm so shit at the game that I've developed muscle memory for the inputs to restart a race) opens photo mode instead, and then exiting photo mode has a fucking confirmation prompt (as if accidentally exiting a gimmick would be such a tragedy) so spamming B doesn't get out of it. A user interface designed by Satan.

Just a heads up for anyone interested in OutRun 2006, avoid FXT and use the tweaks wrapper. FXT is really unstable and crashes on exit, had to switch to a TTY to kill it

>>568785446

what's the difference between using optiscaler and environmental variables?

>>568787725
for the upgrade to work via proton the game has to first be a windows title that runs trough proton (proton-ge in my case) and also have a normal implementation of fsr3 or 3.1 for the upgrade to work (dll swap). if the game only supports fsr 2 you'd have to use optiscaler and just use dlss in the game and translate it to fsr 4.1.
i love this mess (not).

>>568787931
that's pretty neat, but pretty convoluted

>>568788071
the worst part about this is that native linux games that run via vulkan (naturally) don't yet support fsr 4.1. war thunder for example has really shitty aliasing (either x4 smaa which runs at 50fps or blurry taa that runs at 300fps). if i could just use proton (and play the windows version that runs via dx12) i could upgrade the game to fsr 4.1 no problem via the dll swap but no gayjin wants you to play with the native version.

>>568788220
Optiscaler's vulkan>dx>vulkan hack for FSR 4.1 doesn't work through proton either, for me anyway. With NMS. Still only goes up to 3.whatever.

Managed to install the newest nvidia 610 drivers straight from arch repos + pacman -U
I was expecting my whole desktop to break, but surprisingly it just worked without any issues.
I only had to install 5 packages, all from extra-testing. Got to test pragmata with path tracing, because it used to always crash before the main menu on the 595 drivers.

In order to configure my joystick with proprietary vendor application I had to assemble Windows 10 VM in QEMU with usb passthrough. At first, I was passing my joystick using vendor id and product id, but when I tried to update firmware it reconnected in a boot mode with a different product id, so QEMU didn't connect it again, and it stuck in a boot mode lol. After passing just vendor id QEMU managed to connect all instance of this joystick and firmware update went just fine. Now I have fully working force-feedback, and I don't need proprietary vendor application anymore. All force feedback effects work just fine in every game that supports joystick force-feedback, both Wine and Native.

Not that it matters, especially because the CRT shader will hide any scaling imperfections, but this game runs at a really weird resolution in DOSBox Staging.
The game is already a bit of an oddball because only the menu uses the typical mode 13h (320x200 scaled to 4:3 with a 1:1.2 (5:6) pixel aspect ratio which makes it 1600x1200 on my screen), and then during gameplay it switches to 320x199 which is meant to be scaled to something closer to 16:10 (which would result in letterboxing on an old monitor). What I don't understand is that it's still not exactly a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio, and thus it's not actually filling my 16:10 screen quite as much as it should. The 320x199 graphics could just be x6 scaled to 1920x1994, but instead it's scaling to 1878x1194 according to the DOSBox Staging terminal output. It seems the game is insisting on a 1:1.02239 pixel aspect ratio, which is so close to 1:1 that I wonder why it would even do that. I can only assume DOSBox Staging is just doing what the game is trying to tell DOS to do, and the game was designed for CRTs on which horizontal pixels aren't even a real thing so whatever, but it's still really weird.
In theory I should be able to force DOSBox Staging just to use square pixels (even if it would make the menu look stretched)...

File: Jazz Jackrabbit | 2026-05-30 13-59-06-220317728.png (685.6 KB)

Yup, running it with aspect=square-pixels makes it scale to 1920x1194 (the 1920x1994 in the previous post was a typo).
This also makes the menu scale to 1920x1200 which is wrong because it's not supposed to be wide, but I might just keep it like this. I don't really care about the menu being wide, and if the developers' artistic vision included the gameplay pixel aspect ratio being just 2% taller then I reject that because that's stupid.

Ever since I finished Warcraft a few threads ago, I've been afraid to try Warcraft II, because I assumed I'd have to jump through hoops to get it working. It's not a DOS game so I can't just use native DOSBox Staging like I did for the first Warcraft, and Diablo's menu is so broken in every version of Wine/Proton that I assumed all old Blizzard games were cursed. But it seems that's just a Diablo problem, because I finally installed Warcraft II (GOG version, from Heroic, with Wine version set to Steam's Proton 10.0) and it just works. The gameplay works, the videos work, and all menus are functional and visible (unlike in Diablo).
This is running the game from the default option in the launcher. The "classic" option works too, but ironically the performance there seems fucky. I didn't actually check the frame rate but it was less smooth.

MangoHud reports 60 fps, but it doesn't feel like it. The mouse cursor's movement, at least, is super choppy and there's a lot of delay. After closing the game and checking Psensor, it looks like only one CPU was being used, but I don't think that alone would explain it.
I guess I have no reason to run the "classic" version, because it seems exactly the same except that it runs worse and doesn't obey the video options chosen in the launcher.

>>568836397
The only oddity I see with the default (enhanced) version is that the frame rate in MangoHud won't hold still. It kept bouncing between 59 and 61, and so I enabled the graph and saw this shit. Then I increased my monitor's refresh rate from 60 to 75, and got a smooth frame rate graph (not shown) but the frame rate displayed kept alternating between 62 and 63. So it wants to run at 62.5 frames per second or something. How bizarre.

>Orc is first on the menu again
Should I actually play Orc first? I started with Human in the first game, despite it being the second campaign, because I knew the Orc campaign had the canon ending and wanted to go from that straight into the sequel (although it hardly matters now because I took such a long break between games).

>>568837068
This is fixed by disabling Vsync (either with the launcher or with MangoHud) and setting a frame rate limit (with MangoHud). Smooth 60 fps now... so far, at least.
Not that I have any problem with 62 or 63 or whatever the hell the game wants to do, but I usually leave my monitor in 60 Hz mode.

(I suppose that would probably cause screen tearing if I didn't already have TearFree enabled in my Xorg config. Thank fuck for that.)

But I'm sure it'll be at least 70% functional by the time Mint starts using it by default and deprecating X11 support, and the remaining 30% has no use case.

>>568849970
>switch to Cinnamon on Wayland (Experimental)
so a skill issue?

>>568850154
It would be rude to imply that my distro's maintainers are lacking in skill just because they haven't finished Wayland support yet. I'm sure they're just taking their time to make sure they get it right.

>>568850439
it's a user error and it was caused by a skill issue

>>568850554
Wayland support being experimental is a user error? I'm pretty sure I can't do anything about that without switching to another distribution, and I'm not doing that just to solve a problem that doesn't exist anymore, especially when nobody can guarantee that I'll even be able to rewrite all of my scripts that use xrandr/xdotool, nor can I even be confident that everything else will work because the people who want me to use Wayland are only interested in trying to shame me into using it. That doesn't inspire much confidence, so if it's actually good then maybe the people with an interest in shilling it should stop going around calling people stupid for not going out of their way to sidegrade from something they already know is working. Before your post implying that Wayland would make this game's built-in Vsync have better frame timing, the only reason anyone ever gave me for using Wayland is that it works better when using two monitors with different refresh rates. You guys are absolutely obsessed with that use case, and then call me poor when I say it doesn't apply to me.

>>568851761
you using an experimental feature and complaining about it not working right is the user error that was caused by a lack of skill. you are the skill issue. works fine on non shit DEs. cope and seethe nigger.

>>568852284
Are you really pretending that "muh two monitors with different refresh rates" isn't brought up in literally every discussion about X11 vs Wayland?
And yes I have been called poor for pointing out that games only need one monitor.

Anyway,
>Valve Proton
>Wayland
Would issues there actually be caused by Cinnamon lacking full Wayland support? Or does Proton itself need some flag to work on Wayland? I saw something about a PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND variable but there's no mention of it on Valve's Proton's README on GitHub. (I'm guessing it's either deprecated or only applied to some Proton fork.)

Eh, never mind. I guess it does have something to do with Cinnamon (no big surprise really). I installed Sway (a less broken way of using Wayland on Mint) and ran the game using the same Proton, and it does run. Sure enough, it also appears to have a smooth frame rate without the tweaks in >>568844830 (and I never said it wouldn't, by the way, but I'll apologize to Anonymous for saying "Wayland moment" instead of "experimental Wayland moment" in my earlier post).
I'm still going to play the game in Cinnamon with the two extra lines in my MangoHud config, though, because it works just as well and I won't have to memorize a whole bunch of keyboard shortcuts for using my computer without a desktop environment. I had to look up how to log out of Sway (skill issue because I looked it up when I tried Sway several years ago and could have remembered if I tried really hard for no reason).

Damn. That's a lot for a button. It'll be more expensive if I try to repair it myself and fuck it up though. I'm extra paranoid about breaking my shit now that we're living in the last few years of even being able to buy actual hardware.

But I'm not confident in my ability to take the shit apart without fucking it up, so I'm willing to pay (maybe not $125 but something) for the repair, assuming it's to be done by someone who has done it before.
I don't actually know exactly what's broken because I didn't open it up, but it's something with one of the bumpers, and replacing those looks far from trivial.

By the way, I remembered the other game I've played that had weirdly bad frame timing with Vsync enabled: Brigador. It actually seems to depend on what's on-screen, so it's not always like the top screenshot even with Vsync enabled, and when I played the game on my old PC, I actually thought my CPU was just too shit to run the game properly. But disabling Vsync and forcing a frame rate cap fixes it, as shown in the bottom screenshot. (And again, with TearFree, I'm not going to get tearing anyway. The in-game Vsync is effectively just a frame rate cap but apparently worse.)
Since Wayland apparently handles Vsync differently (?), I wonder if running the game in a Sway session would result in better frame timing even with the Vsync enabled.

Actually, nope.
Running the game with Vsync enabled in a Sway session, it has the same issue as in Cinnamon (X11). But also, the same fix (force Vsync off and limit frame rate) works in Sway as well.
No screenshot because I don't know how to take screenshots in Sway.

what refresh rate does it go up to?

>>568921687
>Are these even close to parity in features?
No, because:
1. They don't have 100 toggles for features that are no longer relevant (like PulseAudio latency, terminal selector for text-based games)
2. They don't ship 100 different barely maintained runners that don't integrate well with systems packages (yuzu, scummvm, dosbox etc)
3. They don't ship their own runtime since they're now relying on UMU to do that
4. Their Wine runner don't have 1000 toggles for obsolete features like esync, fsync, audio driver etc.
5. They don't advertise install scripts that are simply broken. All install script functionality is in umu.
For all new users I recommend anything but Lutris. I only use Lutris myself because I have huge library migration of which is not feasible. Faugus is already covering anything Wine related, same as Heroic (it even has first party GoG integration).

>>568923769
At 1920x1200, it has 60 Hz and 75 Hz modes... and also has adaptive sync, which does appear to be working with the appropriate Xorg config tweak since I switched to DisplayPort, so I should be able to get 70 Hz for games that lock to 70 fps (like Quake but I haven't played that one).
The only other game I've played with an odd refresh rate is SuperTux which apparently has a logical frame rate of 66.666 fps if I remember correctly (and so the background scrolling looked like garbage if I ran the game at 60 fps).

(Or maybe that's just QuakeSpasm that defaults to 70 fps. I'm probably not going to run QUAKE.EXE in Wine to find out.)

that game developers probably think an open-source engine makes a game inherently less marketable... and, hey, maybe they're right, considering how many people apparently think a pirated DOOM.WAD is somehow less illegal than a pirated DOOM.EXE would be, or misunderstand the reason that the former is easier to find.
...Maybe not the best example, considering how many people also say that Doom is "abandonware" just because it's old, or will outright claim (perhaps misremembering how shareware works) that "it's free" and that Bethesda therefore shouldn't be charging for it.

Ok, tuxers, what do you think:
Should I buy a new case if my current one looks like this (I don't use front and side glass walls because they ruin thermal performance)? I'm currently looking at Lian Li LANCOOL 217, and I'm planning to use it with all walls.

>>569074887
Imo don't buy anything without a good reason. Case looks good, so if it works, what would your exact reasons be to buy a new one?

while true; do sleep 300; echo .; wget -q https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey -O- | grep June && break; done; notify-send "IT'S UP" "https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey"

Maybe don't actually do this. I made the sleep 300 seconds so I wouldn't accidentally be coordinating a DDOS attack if several of you just copy and paste it, but Valve's server might detect that you're scraping if it gets requests as such regular intervals. Anyway, it's a joke; I'm not running this because I'll probably be sleeping or working when the new results come out.

Its nice that the steam controller is already set up in the the steam version of retroarch. I never used it much because I was unaware of how easy it actually is to add any core to the steam version and then use retrobios to get every bios/firmware file installed at once. I got way too used to the convenience of the back buttons on the steam deck, and its awesome to use the controller to play shit like pc98 and turbografx games. Next Im going to see if I can get the gyro to work as a wiimote.

Although I'm kinda having native Linux challenge I beat FNV this year just because I was extensively testing Fluorine Manager and since it's a native Linux mo2 port I think it's a good excuse. And I did it on a working PC so you might think this testing was paid by my employer
The only thing I HATE about it (Fluorine) is that other people had problems with some particular Skyrim mods so he decided to disable DXVK GPL to workaround it which causes massive stutters in other games on low-end hardware (FNV included). I think I should write him about it explaining why GPL is important and was such anticipated feature back in the days.

Can anyone explain what exactly is open about nvidia drivers? The new drivers are nvidia-open, and it's called "open kernel modules" so what exactly is this? What is still proprietary?

I’m good at everything’s.

>>569322305
Nvidia partially open sourced their drivers, with nvk in development you can have fully open source drivers, but it runs like shit for now because it's alpha.
https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-transitions-fully-towards-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/

>>569322305
Both nvidia and amd uses proprietary firmware blobs that runs on the gpus processor and then have an open source part that interfaces that hardware. This interface code previously proprietary on nvidia as well, but now with nvidia open kernel modules its open source. The main reason nvidia made it open source is because you are often required to recompile the kernel module when the kernel updates and instead of relying on nvidia to do that you can now do that yourself. Nvidia made this choice because data centers run bleeding edge kernel and often with modifications and they need to be able to run nvidia on their computers, so now they can compile nvidia kernel module for their specific custom kernels.

>>569334380
cont. the parts that are still proprietary is the userspace parts, which is the opengl/vulkan implementation. For amd/intel/others this is implemented in mesa, but with nvidia it's still proprietary. There is nvk, which implements opengl/vulkan in mesa for nvidia, but it's slow and not ready yet.

>>569334632
and the issue is that the gpu details of nvidia (and amd too actually) is proprietary, so historically nvidia open source userspace drivers has had to be reverse engineered. When it comes to amd the amd devs themselves work on mesa.

File: qmark.jpg (36.7 KB)

>>569334632
Wait. If opengl and vulkan is userspace and closed, what the hell API is the kernel driver exposing to userspace?

>>569334380
>>569334632
Ok I'll ask to see if I get it.
There are three parts mentioned here: firmware blobs, the kernel modules, and the userspace drivers.
The firmware blobs are proprietary as most other firmware blobs in the kernel.
The kernel modules are now open.
The userspace driver is still proprietary (is this nvidia-settings?). Nvk is the open source implementation. Is nvk being worked by nvidia?

not on my watch

>>569335217
iirc the userspace driver opens a file /dev/nvidiactl or something like that (I forgot the exact path), that the kernel driver exposes. The userspace driver then uses ioctl calls on that file with undocumented values. At least thats how cuda works. There is actually an open-source implementation of parts of cuda (by george hotz). There are probably more files that it opens for different parts.
>>569336519
>The userspace driver is still proprietary (is this nvidia-settings?)
nvidia-settings is actually open source, but the opengl/vulkan/cuda implementation is not.
>Nvk is the open source implementation. Is nvk being worked by nvidia?
Nvk is not being worked on by nvidia, but nvidia has provided some gpu documentation to the devs. IIRC nvk is being worked on by a tranny that works for Collabora.

... as if it's just barely above macOS and in danger of being overtaken, when in fact it's significantly above macOS which has been in third place for a while now.

Interesting stuff but ultimately the survey data probably has huge error bars. Certainly the totals presented by Valve do. I don't believe the real percentage of Linux users shot up past 5% and then came back down so quickly. If something that crazy were going to happen, it would have happened when Steam Deck released, not years later when it's frequently out of stock. And the alternate graphs on that GitHub page are smoother but are still based on the same raw data even if it's rolled up differently.

Wonder how the English-only number will change.
I was always laughing at the phenomenon of English-only stats: it implied that other nations are inferior and thus irrelevant. That's kinda sound racist.

It's nice to have a long nail (if you catch my drift).

Tried to corner me, but I'm already experienced with this bug

Pure kinography

umu mostly just werks though. if he comes up with it eventually that more than anyone else has done already.

>>569334632
will nvk get merged into mesa eventually?

It already is. NVK is the userspace vulkan driver that sits on top the nouveau kernel driver. The longterm goal is to replace nouveau with the nova driver.

>Wonder how the English-only number will change.
Apparently it dropped even more steeply than the overall Linux percentage. This brings the English-only graph a bit lower than I think recent trends would have predicted (i.e. if you draw a trend line starting from September 2005), but it's more in line with the longer-term trend, so I'm not too worried about it continuing to drop. If it doesn't continue to drop then we can see the previous two months as outliers. I mean the jump from February to March was so unprecedented that I still believe it's some kind of fuck-up in data collection if not a math error, and the number for May is just a bit higher than it was in February, so this could just be a return to normal.
Of course I'd have liked to see it keep rising so I could dunk on Windows fans who seethe about Linux, because it's funny, but there's really nothing happening this year that should cause huge swings in OS user share. What happened that would have caused a fuckton of people to start using Linux in March and then stop using it by May? Nothing at all, as far as I know.

I haven't looked into it but I figure you could get pretty close to GamingOnLinux's English-only stats just by excluding Simplified Chinese, which is the other big language, and the occasional spikes in Chinese user share are known to fuck with the OS statistics. I assume GamingOnLinux has an English-only graph just because it's an English-only web site and showing a graph for their own language is more justifiable than an "everyone except China" graph.

Maybe they'll correct data last mnth

Oh right, just to be clear, that is GamingOnLinux's graph which is based directly on Valve's data (with perhaps a bit of math to get the English-only numbers). I forgot that I was replying to a reply to >>569376549. There's no graph for the intersection of English and Linux over there, as far as I know.
