There are a few good answers here already, so instead I’ll go ahead and ask: Why a GC controller in the first place?
This is just my opinion, but unless you’re going for absolute authenticity over any kind of comfort, I’d just use any modern controller instead. Unlike the Wii Nunchuks, the layout maps to modern controllers pretty well, particularly to Xbox-style controllers. The GC doesn’t have that many exclusives either that would make a purchase worthwhile, since many of them got ports/remasters/remakes over the years.
So my advice would be to start emulating using a regular controller first, and only grab a GC controller after a while, if you still feel the need to get one at that point.
And I don’t wanna be that guy that’s wants something to fail just because it’s not to my taste, but I’m glad to hear that the dev thinks KDE’s Wayland is in much better shape than GNOME’s, especially since GNOME’s pushing it really hard.
For me, personally, I won’t switch away until Plasma 6 comes out, if it’s in much better shape than Plasma 5’s Wayland, and games running through Proton work well enough in Wayland competitively.
Yup. If performance isn’t good enough, I upgrade my hardware. The delta between Windows and Linux is generally not interesting enough to have separate installs.
I’ll check out Tumbleweed. Any downsides to it compared to Ubuntu forks?
It has been a while, but nVidia drivers have always been a pain to install, especially when you also need an older version of CUDA. If tumbleweed has a better compatibility/easier installation process, it is a big win.
Tumbleweed is rolling release (kinda like arch), although they have a pretty rigorous testing process. So that could be a pro or a con depending on who you’re asking.
If what you’re specifically after is older CUDA toolkit compatibility, then I’d recommend using distrobox instead. That’s what I do for ML workloads. (If you plan on redistributing binaries then you’ll have to strip them with binutils though)
That take depends on what you need from Ubuntu 18.04. I’m not to familiar with how robotics stuff works, but perhaps a docker image would work? That way you can keep whatever libraries you need, and run it on whatever base OS you need. That said, I don’t know how much of CUDA or whatever is in the driver vs the userland library, so I’m not sure if it would work.
As for distro, it doesn’t matter as long as it’s relatively decent. I recommend Linux Mint Debian edition, but I personally use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
I saw a question below about Tumbleweed, and you may want to look into OBS, which is OpenSUSE’s way of building whatever libraries you need in a repo. So you’d basically find or build a recipe for your version of CUDA and install that alongside whatever else is in the system (assuming the Docker option doesn’t work). If you’re using a relatively popular stack, chances are someone has already gotten it working.
See gamingonlinux.com/…/battlenet-broke-in-wine-proto… for details. I went this route as I play in Steam, I had to do a little bit of googling to find out that he means go to the properties of Proton (like you would a game) and change it to Beta there. My beloved SC2 is now running fine again :)
I use tumbleweed, but I had a strange issue with the flatpak version of heroic launcher. I ran a benchmark of cyberpunk 2077 with the flatpak heroic, and was averaging 100 fps. I had nixos installed on a separate hard drive and that benchmark was 160 fps. I thought there was an issue with opensuse, but I installed the flatpak version of heroic on nixos and also got 100 fps. So I installed the regular version on tumbleweed and have 160 fps. I would keep that in mind when looking at programs to launch games, whether it’s wine, bottles, heroic, lutris, etc
Just going to ask this just in case: have you tried doing a full update and reboot? If you updated and have not rebooted, sometimes drivers get messed up.
Hogwarts Legacy wasnt able to start because an error with the automatic backup of the savegames. When starting steam from terminal it showd some errors and so i tried to move the backup folder away from there and after this it worked again
But mangohud still shows that gamemode isnt running. So i searched a bit and it seems that gamemode IS running but mangohud just shows a wrong stat. With gamemoded -s i get the info that it os running. How can i get mangohud to work again correctly?
Anyone that has video drivers and flatpak should work in your case. If you dislike Ubuntu and don’t like the direction, usually poops and mint are the ones recommended.
I have EndeavourOS, but with the nature of Bleeding Edge packages, things can break, so setup automatic snapshots with btrfs (you want this for your data anyways).
Bleeding Edge packages have the advantage of you getting the latest features, patches and improvements, which is required for some gaming cases.
