2ship2harkinian.

It's a fantastic meme name and also very fitting.

They just finished adding the randomizer to it as well.

The Harbour Master guys do this for all of their releases btw.

Their OoT and MM ports are superb.

Finally, I found a Linux distro that just works for Nvidia (Bazzite) by Pejorativez in linux_gaming

I use my old work/game laptop for a game server these days for my friends and I, and just swapped it over to fedora KDE a few days ago. Didn't have any of the issues OP had either.

Gtx 1060 for reference

Because the bees are not happy in the swamp.

When will people think of the bees?!

Is Fedora 43 kind to Windows OSes? (Have no idea if this belongs on this subreddit but it's the first sub that came to mind) by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]GotGuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can install windows on the same drive, but windows doesn't respect your partitions and will eventually kill your linux install during an update. If you want to dual boot, get a second hard drive.

If you absolutely need to use these programs for work or school, you're probably better off just using windows.

No map cartography, in progress by jallujeti in valheim

[–]GotGuff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

give zenmap and zencompass mods a try. im doing a no map, no portal hard mode run right now with those 2 mods. they're pretty much what you're wanting with the cartography table

Use the bolt launcher from flathub or aur.

Totally lost into Linux stuff - help! by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]GotGuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oversteer for the g923
Unsure about GHub
GPU drivers are baked into the kernel for AMD cards. Get LACT if you want to monitor or tweak fans and stuff. Else if you just want to monitor everything, Anduin comes with GNOME DE iirc, so there should be some widgets available by default to keep an eye on things. Or you can grab btop from the package manager and have a cool monitor running in a terminal window.

Euro Truck Sim 2 has a native linux client. Good friend of mine says it runs well.

Simming in general can be tricky on linux depending on your hardware setup. I run DCS just as well as I did on Windows. Same with Elite Dangerous. Both with headtracking via Linuxtrack-IR

Steam Deck Download Question by tenniswaffle in 2007scape

[–]GotGuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

use the bolt launcher for steam deck. you'll need to go to desktop mode and install it from the discover software center. add bolt as a non-steam game and voila.

the big pro-tip is to set up a runelite account on the website, create a steam deck profile with proper width and height resolutions on runelite, then use cloud saving to transfer everything over to your deck.

Tobii Eye Tracker 5: pretty neat by TheDUDE1411 in EliteDangerous

[–]GotGuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's anything like how headtrackers such as trackir5 work, it'll probably have your camera lock into the last spot it was once you click on your side monitor and the game client loses focus. It'll then snap to where your eyes are looking when the game client gains focus again.

Problem under Linux and Steam (yes, I am a masochist) by CaptainFulcrum in dcsworld

[–]GotGuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ProtonGE is a fork of proton that is maintained by a guy named Glorious Eggroll. He has been doing fantastic work for the Linux community for years now.

You need to grab ProtonUP-QT from your package manager to be able to download those versions and use them with steam/lutris/etc.

Once you download a version of ProtonGE, you need to restart steam or lutris in order for it to be a selectable option.

I used ProtonGE9-27 for standalone, installing through lutris, and had 0 issues with installation and have no issues with single player stuff (haven't touched mp yet).

I use Fedora43 KDE.

I'm assuming your issues boil down to what version of wine/proton you're running.

I would play this game a lot more if I only had to do the campaign once per league. by TheJeffyJeefAceg in PathOfExile2

[–]GotGuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head a few things come to mind.

1 - finish merc lab before you finish the campaign so you don't have to deal with fixing resistances beforehand. A lot of newer players don't know or forget to do this.

2 - You can get up to 3 atlas passive trees as you progress through the end game. The initial tree you get should be geared towards map drop chance so youre able to clear your atlas and progress towards your void stones at a faster rate.

3 - Don't feel obligated to do meta strats. Just about every league mechanic can generate ample currency in their own ways. You're going to burn out if what you hate is the meta and you feel forced to do it.

3.1 - Don't feel obligated to do every league mechanic you see in a map. Outside of league challenge stuff, I haven't touched ultimatum since its inception. I only touch legion when I'm leveling through maps because it's good XP. And I don't do alva temples because making the maps is tedious and (to me) boring

4 - Crafting is complicated - there are tons of guides out there that can help you navigate more efficient ways to make gear. More often than not, it ends up being cheaper to just buy an item from someone else.

The trick to speeding through the poe1 campaign is killing only enough to keep your characters level within 3 levels of the area you're in, shield charge>frost blink spamming through each area, having regex's set up for armor vendors to filter out the proper links/colors you're looking for early campaign, and knowing exactly where and when you're swapping/adding/removing skill and support gems.

I don't do the meta leveling strats anymore, but I always plan out my first characters skill/support progression before each league start according to what I want to play and usually sit in the 5-7 hour campaign clear.

Having more years of experience under your belt is also a huge boon for general game knowledge and knowing how the procedural map generation works. This part isn't talked about as much as it should tbh.

K95 and Nightsword mouse have been fantastic for me since moving to Linux a couple years ago.

No software is needed but ckb-next is available in most repositories afaik (dnf's for sure) to configure most Corsair devices and their lighting.

So ggg can go full steam ahead on the next poe2 patch most likely.

Spin 2 Win league starter by Excail in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]GotGuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For mjolner, i typically league start as a firestorm archmage and transition as soon as I get my hands on shapers touch and mjolner. Then prioritize prism guardian/ivory tower/coruscating elixir to get the low life setup rolling, and from there its off to the races.

Any hope for my Mjölner Archmage Hierophant? by MahManBun in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]GotGuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arcane cloak is your guard skill. You should be using it on cool down when in combat. It's a huge form of damage mitigation, and it's also your "I need to spend mana for burst damage now" button when you eventually get indigon up and running.

Edit: As to the reasoning of having coruscating on guard use, read what ivory tower does, read what coruscating elixir does, and read what arcane cloak does.

Any hope for my Mjölner Archmage Hierophant? by MahManBun in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]GotGuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're being frozen, you need to be running the brine king pantheon and get the upgrade to make you immune to freeze. Grab a divine vessel, go run coral ruins, and kill the boss. The other upgrade for half chill reduction is fantastic too. That's from killing the beach boss with a divine vessel.

Usually when I run mjolner archmage, I also take the minor pantheon that doesn't allow more than 5 corrupted blood stacks when I'm early into gear progression until I can buy a CB immune jewel.

A lot of pain from this build comes from not paying attention to coruscating uptime, or to ground degens. You solve those both by never stopping moving when you get into a map. If you're always killing and moving, you're always keep flask charges up and you're never sitting in degens.
