…environment variable in Lutris. Found in the Codeweavers forums for MacOS but many in Lutris Discord confirms it works without having to mess with the directories.
The article says Microsoft would like to buy Valve. Of course they do. Valve is actively working against Microsoft’s interests (and we have to thank them for that).
It does not say Gabe Newell has the slightest intention to sell. Because he doesn’t.
Yea, but Gabe is not going to be around forever, and any successor leadership might have a different philosophy. And it’s never a bad idea to have a backup.
I hope to god he personally takes a someone he wants as his company successor under his wing and mentors them under his ways so that we may not worry as much. That’s if he doesn’t already have one or doesn’t have plans for it.
Yeah for a while now I’m been buying games on GOG where possible and keeping an archive of them, because I know at some point every company will eventually let you down.
The GOG launcher is optional (I don’t use it). On their website you can download offline installers for every game you own, and these installers don’t require the GOG launcher or any account authentication.
Honestly I’m not sure - as I said I don’t use it. I know of at least one game that’s “DRM-free” but requires the GOG launcher for multiplayer (No Man’s Sky). That’s fairly controversial and I think the only reason why it’s on GOG is because it came onto GOG back when it was a singleplayer only game.
Did everyone conveniently forget that Steam DRM is the reason why Steam came to prominence, and why it was ever used by any devs in the first place. Yes it’s easily cracked and barely an anti-piracy measure, even admitted by Valve, but it is still DRM.
@XenoStare@headmetwall that’s right. Steam is a business. They are not really for open source. Open source, is still a business model. It’s not public domain or libre software. Then can always make their stuff closed source at anytime. Just need to gather free work from the community and to elevate its private business. Still, there are articles detailing Valve as anti-consumer. It’s a search bar away.
I know this is a gaming sub, but I’ll just add that I had a similar experience with music production. Used to he a fiddly disappointimg nightmare, now it’s smooth and usable as a daily driver
I use Ubuntu Studio. First thing to do is configure it with the included Studio Controls app, which is easy.
I used Reaper on Windows so it was easy for me to just use the Linux version. I’ve also messed around with Renoise which works well on Linux. People rave about Bitwig and it’s more similar to Ableton I think, but like Ableton it’s expensive. IMO you want want one of these rather than the built in FOSS DAWs, although to be fair I haven’t tried those recently.
All these come with some built in FX to different degrees. Ubuntu Studio also includes a bunch. The free Airwindows plugins are also well worth getting.
I have a couple of U-He synths which are top notch and run native on Linux. They have some FX too which I haven’t tried.
If you want to use VSTs you’ve bought it’s doable with Yabridge apparently, I haven’t tried it.
How is it possible that I looked around for open DAW alternatives on multiple occasions (and was not succesful) and not once heard about Ubuntu Studio before right this moment? Thx for mentioning!
Just a reminder, but it’s for photo, video, and other media producers too. I haven’t used it for a while, but last time I did, it had some great tools :)
I am also a music producer and I would like to switch to Linux but feel like I would be giving up too much. Do you have any tools you would recommend to make it easier to switch and places I can do some reading you would be willing to share?
As others said, it looks like the issue is the startup script expects bash shell, but Debian defaults to dash as its default shell. If you’re running these scripts directly, run them like this instead:
Seems like Stardew Valley is built against an old version that isn’t shipped with most distros anymore. In fact, based on the forum posts, I’d be surprised if you could actually get it to work on Ubuntu anymore.
I’m going to pin that for later but the “Don’t break Debian” mantra instantly came to mind, even more when I have a laptop with Mint running the game with no issues.
At some point, the game designer will have to update the game, or it will be lost for newer systems.
I have Debian on a secondary laptop and it’s rock solid. I’m really tempted to go debian on my main rig but keep the gaming stuff as flatpaks for more frequent updates
Try cycling through other proton versions as well. I don’t really understand why some games will work on older versions and not newer ones, but it happens.
Download the client for the server you want to play on. I wanted vanilla wow so I needed the 1.12.1 client. A quick google search will give you several results you can download
Unzip the client in the directory you want it to be “installed” in
Go through steam and add the wow.exe in the folder you unzipped as a non-steam game, and force compatibility to the latest proton version available.
In the folder where your wow.exe is there should be a realmlist.wtf file. Open it, delete its contents and replace it with the link your server gives you. For example I registered on everlook.org so my link points to that.
It should run now. Check OP, i edited with a link to a video of a guy setting it up on his steamdeck. Its what I followed.
I’ve had it working for months and just today it wouldn’t launch the game from lutris so don’t feel bad. I’m going to give bottles a try tomorrow, but when I get back to the computer I’ll share my settings.
I missed that you were running a private server vanilla client so probably not apples to apples - I did get retail wow w/battle.net running in bottles in about 15 minutes with zero messing around though, thanks to all the people that brought that up as an option!
Yea, it ended up not working for wow private, but it should work for retail/cpassic because battle.net worked almost out of the box with bottles. I only needed to change its runner to caffe. After that I could install my other battle.net games (diablo3 and hearthstone) just fine, so I assume wow would work too.
