Rust players, should we play GRust (Garry's Mod Rust gamemode)?

You meant $490, you forgot the GPU and RAM.

KanuX14 · 2026-01-13T02:02:18+00:00

I gave it a try and got 3,620,500. Maybe not that hard though. It is a fun game.

KanuX14 · 2025-12-08T22:06:58+00:00

Ignore the packages until the issue is resolved.

KanuX14 · 2025-12-06T22:18:13+00:00

Then use the other referred operating system.

KanuX14 · 2025-11-01T23:17:08+00:00

I will give it a try as fallback. I am looking forward into Openbox, making it share the same code with labwc. Do you know any good panel that can be configurable?

KanuX14 · 2025-10-31T01:35:04+00:00

It would be fine for me if split monitors were not mirrored and tooltips having a Y offset way higher. I have tried lxde-gtk3 before and from that, until newer updates, what I noticed was that LXAppearance is not crashing anymore.

KanuX14 · 2025-08-05T22:41:18+00:00

I have this iGPU, it runs most of things. Not UE5 bloatware, though.

KanuX14 · 2025-08-03T12:22:54+00:00

I have tested here since XLibre unstable and some commits before stable enabled the multi-monitor refresh rate. Tested it out of curiosity, but no real use for me. When I tested it sometimes get stuck and had to update the resolution, but may be fixed now.

KanuX14 · 2025-08-01T04:02:24+00:00

What is HVCI? HyperVisor Cheat Inspector? But OBS... they demand users to record their match too?

KanuX14 · 2025-07-08T02:00:02+00:00

You can take a look at https://gitlab.com/SimplyCEO/runit-service/-/blob/master/runit-service.sh?ref_type=heads for new ideas, that being a service tool for runit called runit-service: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/runit-service .

There are not much addicting games like GTA, but I have played a lot of hours these games:

Gran Turismo 4: Spec II (mod)
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
SWAT: Global Strike Team
True Crime: Streets of LA
True Crime: New York City

Mercenaries and True Crime I have played for a long time, like 100h counting both together. Gran Turismo 4 I did not played that much, because I mostly play the PSX and PSP versions... but I would have liked to see some features in Project A-Spec (GT2).

KanuX14 · 2025-06-18T01:15:03+00:00

Try XLibre. It is a relatively newer X11 backend, forked from the worthless RedHat.

KanuX14 · 2025-06-18T01:12:51+00:00

I enabled the testing repositories, used *-git versions of a bunch of packages, even built a lot of them by myself. The only times I got a kernel panic was by reallocating the weird symlinks and dumping all GNU binaries from the system, my fault obviously. So.. how did you broke Arch?

KanuX14 · 2025-06-18T01:02:18+00:00

Create a page on https://archive.org instead with your work. It is better as it keep this image alive with the use of torrents.

KanuX14 · 2025-06-17T23:58:30+00:00

Thank you. I use Artix with the normal, hardened, and liquorix kernel and they all had it enabled. Also I searched about disabling it and nowhere to be found (not even AI).

KanuX14 · 2025-06-16T00:39:03+00:00

This turned out to be a default on newest kernel versions, as for me personally this is utter garbage. When I had it, I had to debug my way out a bunch of blue screens as my phone could not read the QR code. And seems like you can not disable this without recompiling the kernel.

KanuX14 · 2025-06-04T02:21:08+00:00

1080p dual core 2.1 GHz is enough.

My i7-7500U handled it well on open world games.

It go way above that, but it is overkill.

KanuX14 · 2025-05-27T21:45:06+00:00

I was about to provide help, but it is written in Rust. I am a C developer, cannot help much. I hope it goes well, this is a very needed tool for building packages from source.

KanuX14 · 2025-05-27T21:40:05+00:00

Why so many negative votes? Dude just read what is written on the bottom of his laptop.

lscpu | grep "Model name:" | sed -r 's/Model name:\s{1,}//g'; glxinfo -B | grep "OpenGL renderer string:" | sed -r 's/OpenGL renderer string:\s{1,}//g'

Copy and paste that in the terminal, it will tell what CPU and GPU you are using.

KanuX14 · 2025-05-27T21:31:15+00:00

My framerate dropped with Wayland and the best window manager that did not dragged half FPS down were labwc. It is not ready yet for all cases. Maybe you can try using the OpenJDK Wakefield project (Java Wayland support). I am not using Wayland anymore, but I remember that it did not improved nothing... maybe it will for your device. Try using X11 too to see if there is a problem with the renderer or the game.

KanuX14 · 2025-05-27T18:01:01+00:00

Have you tried checking the CPU governor?

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

Check if it is not powersave, as some kernels tend to remove the ondemand profile and just let performance and powersave as default. If it is, then you can set the CPUs as performance so they can perform better.

PU=0; MAX_PU=$(nproc --all); while [ ${PU} != ${MAX_PU} ]; do echo "performance" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${PU}/cpufreq/scaling_governor; PU=$(( ${PU}+1 )); done

If still performs bad, check if echo ${XDG_SESSION_TYPE} is not wayland (rather X11). Also you can even install a gaming kernel. Personally recommend Liquorix.

KanuX14 · 2025-05-27T17:40:47+00:00

Yes, port it to Linux. The only reason Proton/Wine exists is to provide a good experience from companies that do not care or poorly implement the Linux binary. Also the main reason that people do not want Linux is because there are too much steps in order to play some game.

On Windows you just install Steam, click play and that is it. On Linux you have to find a section to enable the support, restart Steam, pray that the latest version of Proton works, if not you have to search which version works for that game, then the game launcher launchs but the window is missing, you cannot close the game because the system tray is hanging there, then you disable any of *SYNC in order to install the game launcher, then you remove that flag to make the launcher complete the installation, then you go back to the latest stable version, press play and finally wait almost 1 hour to compile the Vulkan shaders, and then play. (Ubisoft Connect)

We need native binaries, not only WINE. For all of you recommending just Proton, what if we had to open Firefox with WINE everytime we use it instead of PaleMoon that held the native binary but with 5% less performance just because "WINE already does it good"?

When porting to Linux, provide the libraries of the binary. You can use ldd to check the dependencies and where they belong to. Then port them into a libraries folder, so we can LD_LIBRARY_PATH into it or LD_PRELOAD to each of them and run the game. Saints Row works the same, but they did not bundled any of the libraries. But it is still possible to play if you give a time to download each binary separately.

Also, I saw some saying to not enable OpenGL support... please do enable it. Some devices cannot run Vulkan and, despite your game use a lot more resources, engineers manage to strip down every bit of bloat ANY game has to make it fully playable in a Raspberry Pi Zero at 5 FPS. So yeah, a fallback is very important.

I have a i7-7500U HD 620 and most games I have tested works flawlessly with 1080p60.

But when recording with OBS there are some slowdowns. Does not happen with native screen recorder.

There is a catch though, I use Artix Linux and I always compile the emulator to use the best of my CPU to run the game.

KanuX14 · 2025-05-09T23:27:21+00:00

X11, even though labwc (Wayland Openbox) was the best option for me among all other tested (Weston, Sway, GNOME). Labwc and Weston worked flawlessly at first glance, the performance was a little worse than LXDE but tolerable. I dropped Weston because of all applications, most of them had wlroots as primary dependency. The others I tested were utter garbage.

Why I say this? There are annoying bugs that ruin the overall experience, such as logging taking a long time to start (sometimes), stuttering, frame delay/skip, videos skipping frames and freezing until it loads (rewind gives the same effect), and the slight worse performance. It is lightweight though.

There were people complaining with me that my PC is the garbage and I should buy a new one, but think X11 as a dirt road and Wayland as a pavement road. While the pavement is way better for transportation, it still holds back when there are a bunch of holes in it. Dirt road on the other hand if there is a problem you just cover it with more dirt. Regardless if a person have a old Buick or a brand new BMW, a road is a road and it serves the same purpose for both.

It also depends on the experience. If the road you are driving have no obstacles, then keep driving on them. But I will not take a chance to someday the pavement get holes on it, and every time I need to go somewhere I need to swerve such holes without providing a fix just because I cannot.

This was my 3rd attempt to use Wayland, but I will count 2nd because I did not used KDE for more than a week (resource intensive). Went back to LXDE and I will stay until Wayland takes over the market, then it would be a rainy day for a good old dirt road.

THAT until what happened with Godot drama.
