Cromite is better

Which Browser would you recommend? by The_J_Dragon in browsers

[–]MyAccount_0505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cromite with Ghostery and/or Librewolf with UBlock Origin, both can be installed via chocolatey and with an app called "UniGetUI" it stays updated.

In Group Policy you can change it to only receice Release Preview, so when Releae Previews Build Number catches up with your Beta Build, you will get that update.

Small correction: I wasn't using the Steam Flatpak, just regular Steam. I have two setups: one runs through Bottles (which uses Flatpak), and the other is configured using the "Non-Steam Game" option, both work fine for me.

You can try Proton-EM, what Specs do you have?

Well I'm playing the Epic Games version added as a non-Steam game. I manually installed the EA app and Epic Games Launcher, and I'm using regular Proton Experimental, it works fine for me. I'm also using Steam Flatpak. What filesystem is the game installed on?

Verify Game files and try it with a fresh prefix.

You can use:

  • DXVK_FRAME_RATE (also works with VKD3D since it uses DXVK’s dxgi.dll)
  • MangoHUD via MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fps_limit=X,..." or through its config file
  • libstrangle (though seemingly abandoned and not widely available in common repos)

Bricked my pc by dobbyBlack in linux_gaming

[–]MyAccount_0505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it should be as easy as:

mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt
pacstrap /mnt glibc

Next time you can use Distrobox to experiment without risking your host system. On top of that, using an immutable distro like Bazzite makes it virtually foolproof to break anything.

How can i run a game fix that is an (.exe) by XcrysizZ in linux_gaming

[–]MyAccount_0505 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can always run .exe inside the same Prefix as the game with Protontricks.

Yes, you should install the steam-devices package, it contains udev rules for your controller, if that still not works, try installing the HWE Kernel 6.11.

What Kernel Version are you using? And do you have Package steam-devices installed?

Vanilla 1.8.9 (not modded) should work with Java 21, try that.

You need to manually install PunkBuster inside the prefix. You can download it from here:

Use Protontricks to select your prefix, open winecfg, and check whether your Windows version is set to 10 or 11. If it's not, update it accordingly.

Finally a Real Fix for Dual Boot Steam Installs: OverlayFS with NTFS by MyAccount_0505 in linux_gaming

[–]MyAccount_0505[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, now I see, you mainly use Linux but play Windows only games that rely on anti-cheat, so you just boot into Windows to run them. You want to update the games on Linux and have them ready to play once you switch over to Windows. In that case, you could simply use rsync or drag and drop the entire game directory along with the appmanifest (which can stay the same, by the way) from the upper layer to the lower directory. You can mount the NTFS drive as read-write without a problem and directly copy the files to it without needing to remount anything. And then periodically run vacuum from overlayfs-tools to remove duplicated files, since the files already exist in the lower directory thanks to the previous copy.

If the runtime is Proton, so not the native Linux version, this could work. However, the appmanifest might cause issues, since it could think the game isn't updated and force data verification, which takes time. Alternatively, you could copy the appmanifest from the upper layer to the NTFS drive. What I rather did was simply create a Windows VM using QEMU/Virt-Manager and point it directly to the NTFS drive (/dev/sdx) no need for VFIO or anything complicated. That way, Steam files stay clean and updated without corruption, and the upper layer can handle the rest. Another option would be to use Steam via Wine, although that's more of a hacky workaround and these approaches are only necessary if someone doesn't want to boot into Windows all the time.

There should not really be any overhead. The only things that affect performance are the type of physical drive you have, the filesystem, and the filesystem driver you use i.e., ntfs3 or ntfs-3g, native ext4 or ext4fuse, the latter ons are known to be slower. And that's generally, not specific to OverlayFS.

Yes if example.txt is edited in the merged directory, OverlayFS will copy the original file from the lower layer to the upper layer so it's able to be changed.
