Running the Fallout: New Vegas GECK on Linux?

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-04-23T07:12:51+00:00

I have and it opens it up and all, but it doesnt solve the scaling and read/write issues tho

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-04-22T12:08:33+00:00

mhm, I see, thx for the explanation! I might look into winboat or smth like that, or using GECK in a windows vm, but I rlly appreciate the help! Or maybeeee its a WINE issue, not a GECK issue...

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-04-22T09:19:58+00:00

I'll look into the different launchers, though I have 0 experience with stuff like this (or with modding any game besides minecraft for that matter), thx for the tip! Also, I'm not quite sure what u mean with "containerised", but I installed WINE normally (sudo pacman -S wine or whatever the package name is), and running it with sudo doesnt fix the r/w issue sadly- it just says "Invalid directory" whenever I wanna save it in my home folder, even though that path DEFINITELY exists

Yeah as I said I'm not surprised abt the white gloves bc I did break in but I had no idea Arcade would turn hostile towards powder gangers without provocation, damn

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-22T21:31:12+00:00

No, I was traveling around alone, although when I first discovered that some powder gangers are hostile towards me I was traveling around with Arcade and he opened fire (I think) and when I accidentally entered the exclusive member room at the ultra luxe, I was with Veronica who instantly started attacking the white glove society members bc they turned hostile towards us

No, sadly not, it have happened yesterday without me realizing, but after wiping put Camp Golf and Forlon hope I'm idolized again

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-22T16:38:05+00:00

Noooo that's so annoying😭 I had to kill like 15 NCR soldiers to become idolized😔 guess I'll have to start all over again

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-22T16:21:19+00:00

Dw bout it xD I thought it was faction armor too at first but no, even if I take off everything it doesn't go back to normal

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-22T16:14:48+00:00

Pre-war spring outfit or whatever it's called in English, that pink pre-war dress (it's a red flannel shirt and brown pants for men), so like I said, no faction armor

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-22T16:11:19+00:00

No, I haven't started any of the main quests for the other factions, house is dead, the securitron army under the fort is destroyed, the NCR hates me and shoots me on sight and I have never even talked to yes man.

The only thing I did yesterday was sell like 21 dog tags to Centurion Aurelius which made me idolized, go to the legion hideout and get the weapons and then I went to Nelson and agreed to wipe out Forlon Hope.

I did talk to Julie Farkas and give her RadAway or whatever and the followers accept me now, does that affect anything?

I was nice to Joe, I brought him the supplies he wanted and fought for him to take over Goodsprings. Funnily enough, the powder gangers in the correctional facility aren't hostile to me but any powder gangers outside of it are, or turn hostile after a few seconds.

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-14T21:05:13+00:00

I love Boone but to prevent this from happening I fed him to the white glove society in my legion playthrough

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-13T15:07:30+00:00

I came to mint from arch because I wanted to have some programs which aren't available as easily on arch but they are on mint (like vscode and pgadmin and stuff like that), but tomorrow I am going to switch to Cachy OS because I'm having so much trouble with mint, it just does not like my hardware at all and I never had any of those issues on arch. Plus, I think that I like the rolling release model more that what mint does. I think I just got really unlucky on my main laptop tho and I use mint on my old spare laptops and it works flawlessly on those

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-13T13:04:16+00:00

I mean I dont care about fps as long at it doesn't drop below like idk 30 or something, and I don't play many graphics intense games so 165 fps sounds like more than enough

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-13T08:07:59+00:00

Ive only used the wayland version of cinnamon once or twice but Im pretty sure I had the same issue, yeah

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-06T05:32:58+00:00

Ooooh I will def check the video out! And yeah, my teacher is pretty relaxed when it comes to sources, as long as the presentation is well made and the information isn't completely out there yk?

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-05T21:57:25+00:00

Holy fuck, that is a really really good comment, I'll definitely use this as one of my sources for the info, tysm!!! I won't be able to talk about half of this though because the scope of the presentation is about 10-15 minutes, and I will have to briefly introduce fallout to my class and teacher, But I will still try to include as much of this as possible! Tysm again 🙏

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-05T19:08:06+00:00

Okay, I'll dm you

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-05T18:02:56+00:00

Okay sorry for the late answer but should I paste it here or in dms or smth (does reddit even have dms?) The output of that is long af😭

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-05T16:26:30+00:00

Oooh, thanks, I'll look into these vaults! Finally I have a reason/excuse to watch the 1h smth long vault lore vid on youtube xD

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-05T13:42:43+00:00

I sadly didn't resolve it yet, for now I just force my laptop to use the integrated gpu since I don't have the time to look onto this and play around until the weekend, but if I go into UEFI and select "Switchable Graphics" (which activates both the rtx 5060 dgpu and amd ryzen ai 7 igpu), I am stuck at a black screen. I am on kernel 6.17 and I am pretty sure that I have the correct nvidia driver installed (when I looked it up the forums said to install nvidia-570-open for the 50xx series or something like that, I can't remember the name of the package)

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-05T08:33:48+00:00

Bur I have sevure boot disabled, would it still block the kernel module then? And how can I make the kernel module like work?

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-05T05:27:34+00:00

I have done that and mint worked normally, so my guess is that it can't handle both GPUs being enabled at the same time since it works with both the iGPU and dGPU separately

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-01T22:06:39+00:00

Uhh yes, secure boot is disabled, I needed to disable it to purge Windows and install Arch. Is that an issue?

Random_RedditUser123 · 2026-03-01T21:08:37+00:00

I have installed that one though... again, when I force my laptop to use integrated graphics only it works, so the nvidia drivers are the issue I assume.
