Found my homie!!

A lot of the time the version of wine will cause issues with the application, so if you have something working, stick with it.

It would be worthwhile to look into a wine prefix manager like lutris or bottles for gaming. Regular apps can benefit also, but I am not up to speed on anything not for gaming.

There appears to be a flatpak for edmc, maybe that would be easier than using wine?

Usually I start debugging this type of thing by killing all instances of steam and then launching it from command line. Steam logs a bunch of good stuff and putting it in context of your interactions helps. That said, based on what you’ve described, I would try older versions of proton, targeting releases back when games were launching. Proton/wine versions don’t always work for all games and sometimes you’ll need to launch particular titles with specific versions. Proton has been absolutely revolutionary, but these issues still pop up. ProtonDB might have reports on specific versions for specific games/titles.

It looks like dayz is gold, rather than platinum, meaning it will take a little tinkering. www.protondb.com/app/221100

Yeah, voting with your dollar definitely will make the change, just buy something else and struggle a bit harder, that change is right around the corner /s

You own it, like the mortgage is paid or you rent from the bank still?

This is totally right, but people with money like to point fingers and blame others. Ultimately paying for support is PR insurance.

version_unsorted ,

Maybe the problem is that there shouldn’t be a financial interest in order to motivate or enable support.

version_unsorted ,

The problem I am alluding to is the way that “financial interests” means somebody reaping the value from others’ labor. There is more than enough talent, interest and time available to develop robust solutions to hardware enablement if we stop feeding the machine what it consumes today. There is simply no reason that a manufacturer shouldn’t be producing hardware with open specifications to a global market that consumes its product. Additionally there is more than enough revenue that goes to paying people that contribute less than they produce for the hardware purchased by consumers. We fix this by making it illegal to create walled gardens that make us beholden to vendors.

I was talking about how the corrupt corporations are literally the reason we can’t have nice things. We are on the same side here. I’m just trying to express that “financial interest” is only of interest to capitalists so they can continue to profit from the efforts of common peoples. The point was to shift the discussion from trying to interest someone financially to fostering an environment in which social interest can actually cause movement and development.

Edit: for clarity, my comment is mostly directed at ublue or universal blue, which is what bluefin is based on.

I think the really value comes from the ability to easily roll new custom images and for the community to collaborate on those images to produce images that require minimal layering after the application locally.

version_unsorted ,

You got any more information on this? Also, is there a point to caring if it is an intellectual property rip off and run by a particularly set of people from a particular country?

version_unsorted ,

Heck yeah, game industry workers are long over due for unionization. CDPR developers just had a headline in the news about unionizing after this latest wave of layoffs.

Does anything else work? For example, can you boot a Debian live disk? What about a Debian install on a VM? This will help isolate the problem to internal or external of the hypervisor.

Just to be sure, you are getting your vanilla iso from MS?

It has been a while since I’ve grabbed a recent iso, but I’ve always used these with no issue in virt-manager.

I am once again considering to write my own window manager

...unless the setup I am thinking of is already possible, let me construct this in your head:

On the top of the screen, there is narrow status bar, which is split into two parts. On the right side of the bar, you have your clock, your battery, your signal strength and so on.

On the left side, there is a clickable tab for every window you have opened. It's like browser tabs: Every window always uses the entire space below the status bar.

On the far left, there could be an icon which opens a searchable list of applications, kind of like but vertical. Everything supports mouse input as you would expect.

Does that exist? Should I make it? It would be awesome for smaller screens, like phones.

Edit: I should add that I'm planning to run it on a Nokia N900 with a single 600 MHz CPU core, 256 MB RAM and a resolution of 800×480 pixels. Existing full desktop environments like Xfce4, LXDE, and so on are way to heavy to run.

You could look into sxmo, something like i3 but designed for phones

I just received mine after waiting 3+ years actually. It is pretty sweet with waydroid and KDE connect. I’m still not daily driving it because of the lack of a maps application with navigation though.

version_unsorted ,

Oh cool! I’ll give it a shot. Based on the other comment I got, I’ll need to see if I can get flathub into the pureOS store.

version_unsorted ,

Oh yeah, I saw this on Ubuntu touch also. I’ll see if I can get the flathub repo loaded in. That will certainly increase the variety in apps I can use!

version_unsorted ,

I ran archlinux using the software and kernel in that repo for my surface pro 4. It worked great. Additionally I found GNOME desktop to work well, particularly with some extensions like toggles for rotation, on-screen-keyboard and other stuff you’d find on a phone. I also setup pop shell and cosmic for tiling window management, but paperWM might be better for this these days.

I should not that I had some troubles with the stylus. Sometimes it would work, sometimes not and if I used configuration tools it would sometimes help or sometimes make it worse. That said, I think my stylus is a little screwed up. There is a lot of good info in getting the stylus working and troubleshooting it, you should be able to get it working, for me it was always just a matter of time before I had to fuss with it.

version_unsorted ,

Everything was pretty smooth after getting the right GNOME extensions installed for me. In the project wiki there is even an archlinux repo so you don’t need to compile the packages from the AUR. The stylus was the only troublesome part, but like I said, I think my stylus has issues, so I don’t think I can blame it on the Linux setup.

It was a good time getting the UI tuned in and customized. I had no idea so many good extensions existed for GNOME.

version_unsorted ,

My sympathies lol. I’ve been a long time Linux user. Sometimes my experience can be optimistic but in this case I remember things working pretty well. Definitely post your experience here and feel free to DM if you need a hand with something.

The problems you describe are due to capitalism: profit motivated commerce. The open source business model has a focus that monetizes the human actions that are a value-add, such as continued development of targeted features, tech support and other things it makes sense to pay for specialized knowledge, but the tangibles are still open for all to modify, audit or use as they want.
