I had a prime Linux gaming moment last night. 👌

I wanted to play Guild Wars 2, so I

  • installed Wine and DXVK
  • went to the website, got the installer
  • double clicked Gw2Setup.exe
  • installed the game
  • played the game 🙂

Take that, structured unanimate objects!
Man it feels good to collapse buildings in this game...

Looks like Sony reversed their decision on forcing people to create a PSN account and link it to steam to continue playing Helldivers2. So maybe next stream I can finally play Helldivers 2, not that I don't like Fallout 4, but I can always come back to Fallout 4 later.

I may stream again tonight or at least Wednesday seeing how I feel this evening.

Just tried and it's a perfection. :ablobcatangel:

All the best parts of : no cosmetics, no unusuals, no unbalanced weapons, no ranks, no aimbots. It doesn't clog RAM and CPU, has polished settings, lighting, gamemodes, better achievements. Easy with and in-house installer. Not to mention that the game is constantly maintained by Team .

I'm like a teenager again, so much fun playing again, hahaha! :0080:

Last night I hopped back into streaming last night and it was amazing to see my community was still there for me after two months of a mental health break.

It was really touching, and last nights stream was a hangout and just update on what all had happened with my health and my dad’s grippy sock adventures.

I’m going to get back to my cybersecurity and Gaming on Linux content next stream. Just grabbed Helldivers 2 and Fallout 4!

Kids were playing Plants vs Zombies GW2. rolled out some anti-cheat shit that works only on Windows I presume. It no longer works on , I cannot explain it to my kids why their game no longer works, although we paid for it.

So I wanted to give Fallout 2 a go on my media center PC. I was messing around with Wine and 32-bit vs 64-bit weirdness until I discovered Fallout 2 Community Edition which simply works on Linux flawlessly. It even supports Wayland if you specify SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland. I'm amazed at how many of these community driven source ports and reimplementations exist. I should make a website about these. :drgn_flat_happy:

I’ve said this previously: once Microsoft ends support for Windows 10, I’m switching to Pop!_OS.

My fear always was that a large portion of my game library would be unplayable. But Steam Deck has demonstrated that 95% of games—even games only made for Windows—are completely playable on Linux.

@atomicpoet I have been interested in Linux to help be a primary desktop OS, but gaming always stops me.
I have done long gaming on several games on Garuda Linux. It comes with a lot of tricks that the SteamDeck uses (also built off Arch Linux). The only reason I am not using as a main desktop OS right now is because I haven’t figured out how to do much with Xbox Game Pass and some of those integrations with other non steam games.

I will try streaming again this week now that I’ve had time to recover and I will cover my estrangement with my bipolar father and my recent health scare that sent me to the hospital and then get back to Gaming on Linux and Cybersecurity content.

How to install DXVK on Wine:

  1. Copy x64 DLLs to System32.
  2. Copy x32 DLLs to SysWOW64.

What. Why?!

In 2024, with many distributions having decided to end their 32-bit support, playing 2000s' proprietary games through on Linux is suddenly not so straightforward anymore.

This vacation I had an opportunity to re-trace the steps and show how this is done again:

Second day of NA & and we continue with our booth E28 (come see us) and more Igalia's talks. Thread 👇🧵

This one was about #GamingOnLinux! Our colleague
@multics69 has been on a quest to remove stuttering from games, by going all the way down to the kernel process scheduler. He's been working on a new gaming-oriented scheduler that has potential to also improve other kinds of interactive workloads. And it's implemented in #eBPF 🤯

Same person during the talk, a convoluted graph in the slide shows dependencies among scheduling tasks and how they interact waking up each other.

Today was a bad day for Linux Gaming, at least for me.

  1. I wanted to play DCS: World with head teacking like always
  2. My system stopped recognising my Oculus Rift CV1 sensors, throwing all sorts of USB errors in dmesg
  3. I switched to the linux-lts kernel, which caused even more problems with the GPU. The graphical environment never showed up.
  4. Back on the regular linux kernel, I settled for a phone strapped to my head for head tracking.
  5. After two hours of gameplay, KWin crashed and failed to restore my open applications including the game.

I'm done for tonight. 😩

I could've probably had the whole series of "The Real Barenziah" about 100 times now, but this one seems to be unobtainium. Where the heck do I find the other parts of this masterpiece? 🥴 #Skyrim #GamingOnLinux #gaming
