You can use pretty much any keyboard but I would recommended a keyboard that is not by a major company that has its own property software
I have a corsair k55 and the extra keys on the left they are useless because if your plug this keyboard into a PC that hasn’t corsairs icue installed it goes into " compatibility mode " aka the keyboard forgets your custom settings and keybinds
I haven’t tried Nobara, but I did use Fedora for a year or so and decided it wasn’t for me. My main complaint was how long release upgrades seemed to take. This was back when fedup was a thing (I think Fedora 17? Maybe DNF fixed that), and it took almost an hour just to do a release upgrade, which was 2-3x longer than a fresh install. I used Ubuntu before that and left for the same reason, but also because Ubuntu seemed to break something each major release.
So I switched to Arch, which worked much better imo and I used it for about 5 years. I got tired of periodic breakage (i.e. manual intervention every few months) but still wanted to keep the rolling release cycle, so I switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Breakage mostly went away, except for the odd NVIDIA driver screwup, but ever since moving to an AMD GPU things have been smooth. I’ve been on openSUSE Tumbleweed for a few years now and it’s still working well. You could very well have the opposite experience as me.
So I guess what I’m saying is, find something that works for you. Maybe that’s Nobara, maybe it’s Ubuntu, or maybe it’s something like Nix or Gentoo. Regardless, keep trying stuff until you find the right fit.
PlayOnLinux is not maintained consistently and hasn’t been for a couple of years. I have Diablo 2 on Lutris. It works great. However, I’m on Fedora 38, so there’s that. I don’t think that makes much of a difference, though. Your problem is probably related to PlayOnLinux being behind the times.
it’s not POL. It’s System Wine. Lutris has the same problem with system Wine (and some of it’s own Wine versions). All I’m trying to do is figure out the source and report upstream
seeing that issue spans across several games I didn’t want to post to appdb. I’ve re-jigged mynsetup to use lutris and forced wine version to be below 8.x and all is good. However my intent was not to find how to run those games, but what’s wrong? with 8.x Wine.
I don’t know about this specific Fedora situation, but you should really be using something like Lutris or Bottles to create individual prefixes for each game and use downloadable Wine versions to launch the games instead of your system Wine. That will avoid situations like this in the future.
Agreed. I use Lutris on 37, and play a bunch of stuff with no issues. Took me too long to figure out how to use the Lutris posts, but it’s been smooth sailing ever since.
You don’t need to install it with Lutris per se - as long as the files are already “installed” somewhere on your drive you can set it up in Lutris as a locally-installed game and just use Lutris as a Wine prefix manager. This is largely how I use Lutris - I don’t tend to use their installer scripts because I tend to already know how I want the install to go.
I understand that the 8.12 version of Wine is buggy, but by using a manager like Lutris or Bottles you’re able to use any Wine version you want in order to run the game, and you could just pick a different Wine version from the list without messing with your system Wine installation. If you don’t have time to mess with learning Lutris or Bottles right now that’s fair, but they’re generally a much better solution for this sort of problem, for now and for the future.
I’ve got Corectrl up and running with AMD Overclocking functioning on RDNA2 (6800 XT).
From yesterday’s limited testing I’m kinda blown away.
The card runs significantly more efficient under Linux so despite setting the same target clock as in Windows being 2700MHz, the cards actual clock when ruining games and not bouncing off of power limit is only 30MHz lower, on Windows it was usually around 60MHz lower.
But the major thing is that when bouncing off of the power limit I’ve seen the clock drop only by around 100MHz on Linux but on Windows it was usually a massive swing by 200-300MHz.
VRAM OC on Linux seems to be completely broken though, even increasing clock by 1MHz when on desktop will result in massive artifacts and eventual crash.
Voltage control and behaviour on Linux also seems to behave quite a bit differently than on Windows. Needs further testing though.
I liked the look of this project but I can not make it run on Wayland. I use Nvidia-Hyprland Arch Linux and it does not seem to want to start for me and its seems a couple of others as well. I hope this gets patched and when it does I’ll definitely play it.
Went to look up Cubeworld again. Oh wow it released on Steam? First comment says don’t play it and play Veloren instead. Thanks OP, maybe I can finally stop having the Cubeworld brain worms.
Looks super interesting! I read the inspiration but is it a survival game at its core? Possible to play creative like Minecraft? Thanks in advance! Hope to have the time to try it down the road!
Idk, specifically for Baldur’s Gate 3, I didn’t have to tweak a thing, installed it, pressed play and it just worked, no stuttering or messing with wine or anything
