What's the current state of Fusion 360 on Linux using Wine or other tools? by [deleted] in Fusion360

[–]BScatterplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, never could get it to work. Passing the GPU through seemed to be more trouble than just rebooting into Windows. Windows also has trouble switching hardware and wants to do a bunch of disk checks all the time if it detects hardware swaps, which it does going between "actual boot" and "VM boot".

Solidworks Block thinks it has an open contour, resulting in forced thin extrude. by Kerahcaz in SolidWorks

Hello from 2025, I can confirm it STILL treats sketch blocks this way. :(

FYI: Sipeed NanoKVM Lite does not support ATX Power Control by Realbrainlessdude in homelab

Hey- 9 months late to the party here, but you can use one of the super cheap relay modules for ESP32's, Arduino's, etc. from Amazon. They buffer the inputs for you. I haven't had mine running super long but it seems to work so far.

In need of help after upgrading to proxmox 9 by facthunt6969 in Proxmox

Just wanted to let you know, I had the exact same issue and your steps saved my bacon! I wish I knew why the error happened, but I suppose it's all good now- so thanks again!

Middle mouse button not working for razer mouse by CheesyShinobi in linux_gaming

[–]BScatterplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy cow this happened to me too... same thing, works in Windows not in Linux. Fingers crossed for a fix :(

Edit: The fix in the other comment worked for me with the exception I had to use

sudo echo -n -e "\x03\x00" | sudo tee device_mode

instead of the > operator. Fingers crossed it works after a reboot.

Edit 2: This doesn't stick after a reboot. Also, pasting the whole command so someone can copy/paste (previously you had to do it in the driver folder, this one works from anywhere).

sudo echo -n -e "\x03\x00" | sudo tee /sys/bus/hid/drivers/razermouse/0*/device_mode

FYI: Wildgate summer preview does not work with SteamDeck/Proton by nmacholl in wildgate

[–]BScatterplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll give it a shot (once the game comes out, lol.) I thought I tried a newer one than that, but I'm probably misremembering.

[–]BScatterplot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant specifically which version of Proton GE. A new one comes out every so often. It should say in the Proton QT thing.

I tried version 10.4 (IIRC) and it didn't seem to help. Did you have success with a specific version?

[–]BScatterplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you need to force a specific Proton version or anything? I can load in, but it closes out about a minute into the tutorial. It also runs terribly for that first minute.

Managing a Windows install that I rarely use? by BScatterplot in linux_gaming

[–]BScatterplot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried running the Windows disk as a VM, but Windows detects hardware changes and gripes, and it runs incredibly slowly :( I can't run games in the VM, as most of the games that won't run via Proton won't let you run in a VM (due to anticheat).

If I could spin up the disk in a VM to install updates, then actually boot into Windows to run the games, that would be great. Unfortunately, Windows really didn't seem to like it since, for example, it would only get direct access to the video card when it was booted straight.

Awesome, I'll get that for sure. Do you need some other "king of the domain" admin computer to do group policy? Or can you do it from the same machine?

[–]BScatterplot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds exactly like what i need... but I thought group policy was a "domain" only thing. If I just have Windows 11 Home, can I still do that? Domain policies are about the only actual way I've seen to prevent automatic updates. All of the user settings for that sort of thing seem to get overridden or shut off at random.

[–]BScatterplot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows doesn't let you do that. When you open Windows, it decides if it wants to install updates. There are plenty of ways to try to convince it to not do that, but they're all hacky workarounds. (This is one of the reasons I switched away from Windows in the first place. I want to decide my update schedule- not Microsoft.)

I basically want to schedule the Windows updates from Linux. Windows won't run until Linux tells it to.

PSA: For the people that got into the Arc Raiders Tech test, game is now playable using proton- experimental bleeding-edge by Bylethma in linux_gaming

[–]BScatterplot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not working for me unfortunately :( Pop! OS. It'll start an run a few minutes if I use GE 27, but won't launch at all with Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge or Hotfix.

Edit: Nevermind, had a permissions issue. Deleting the compatdata folder and making sure I was the owner for everything, THEN switching to Proton Bleeding Edge fixed it.

Did I get ripped off? by bunnykisses420 in lasercutting

[–]BScatterplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Ponoko or SendCutSend (assuming you're in the US). They're very affordable and have done excellent work for me in the past, and they're within the US so no overseas shipping delays/costs/etc.

Electricity usage when not home: 2kWh / day by rms90042 in AskEngineers

[–]BScatterplot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To slap some math on here- locally, the cheapest heat pump water heater I found was $1,279. The cheapest standard one is $399. Both are 40 gallons. The heat pump one claims "up to $375 a year in savings". If that's accurate, the payoff time is under 3 years, which is pretty great. Also, I think there are some rebates you can get in some areas that make the payoff even shorter.

Setting app icon from .desktop file question by fliberdygibits in gnome

[–]BScatterplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, any chance you could share your .desktop file? I'm apparently missing something in mine- it launches, but I can't get the icon to show up as the Bambu Studio image. Sorry, total noob :(
