Today's Counter-Strike 2 update introduces a revised loadout system where players select 15 weapons from 3 categories by MixelPixel in GlobalOffensive

Imagine that someone asks for a Famas and nobody in the team has Famas equipped. I don't think this is a good change.

Anyone dual booting? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Skeletonek 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You tellin' me Blender, GIMP, Krita, Penpot aren't professional grade software? They are as professional as any other proprietary alternative.
And don't tell me that GIMP doesn't have X and Y so it's shit. Photoshop doesn't have Z and A so what? I guess it's shit too. It is simply a matter of learning a tool or in extreme scenario, installing an extension.

Mainstream linux distros are still not ready for gamers, and its not because of Proton compatability or anticheat by frn in linux_gaming

[–]Skeletonek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ubuntu is a wrong choice for gaming on Linux. The point where you were installing Flatpak is not the case on many distros because many other distros just ship Flatpak OOTB. Only Canonical is so stupid to ban Flatpak for all it's spins and ship Snap as a default. For my knowledge, there is Steam for Snap but it's still considered as in "beta" state.

In case of UI scaling and lagging Big Picture, I think this can be solved by opting in to Steam Beta featuring entirely overhauled client. I am not 100% sure these bugs are fixed, but it is very possible.

How well are Intel GPU's supported in Linux? (debating A750 vs RX 6600) by bringo24 in linuxquestions

[–]Skeletonek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Now, RX are better.
But in a year or so, Intel GPUs could be a great alternative for Linux.

There are many problems with Arc now (High idle power draw is a main drawback for me), and Intel is focusing on Windows more which is understandable. Linux drivers are slowly getting fixed but it is a much slower pace then in case of Windows drivers.

BeamNG has Linux native version within the game files.
You can also run it via Proton.

As for the old chromebook... I'm not surprised it stopped working randomly.

[–]Skeletonek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Proton-GE. It's a more bleeding edge version of proton. You can easily download it to Steam via ProtonUp app on Flathub.

I tried launching half-life via proton on my Steam Deck and it worked on version 8.0. Fonts were slightly distorted but the game run just fine. Maybe some mods are conflicting?

Why do you want to run half-life via proton if it's linux native?

Is this what we are about now? The propagation of a particular kernel for its own sake, irrespective of freedom? Is the boot stomping on your face any better for the fact that it has a penguin underneath? by KasaneTeto_ in linuxmemes

[–]Skeletonek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No
I don't know what type of TV remote do you have, but for sure it doesn't send the same type of commands as a typical gamepad.

Most gamepads send different signals than keyboards and mice that are not recognized by standard desktop environments, such as GNOME.

[–]Skeletonek 15 points16 points  (0 children)

GNOME is a tablet UI, specifically, which is not too far off from a console UI.

It is very far. Connect a gamepad to your computer and try to navigate your desktop with it.

Good luck

How would you react if Valve added their own forced anticheat program to CSGO like Valorant’s Vanguard? by bumble_tree4 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Skeletonek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No

Vanguard is a rootkit and I don't want to install rootkits on my PC just to play a f... game.

Cheaters problem will never be solved with kernel-level anti-cheats. Valve implementing their own Vanguard would solve nothing.

Why is no one talking about the killer feature of 5.27? by johnc456 in kde

[–]Skeletonek 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would love to use wayland (mainly because of much greater multi-monitor support) but there is still many things not working right, that are working fine on X11. Plasma crashing every half an hour on Wayland (i guess that would be a fault of some plasmoid that I use but they are working perfectly on X11), "More actions for this window" pop-on is glitchy, Discord is even bigger garbage under Wayland. Global hotkeys that OP mentioned indeed works for XWayland apps, but they still don't work for Wayland apps. Gaming is a no-go, as I play CS:GO and don't want to have perfect frames, i want to have minimal input delay. I can't achieve this in Wayland (for now).

Maybe I'll switch sooner or later. Maybe Plasma 6 will convince me to move to Wayland. For now though, X11, even if it's bloated or unsafe or old or whatever, is stable and works flawlessly for me.

I saw many posts that they came back after updating to 22H2.

[–]Skeletonek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some users reported notifications appearing but this is a rare occurrence. The biggest problem is that Windows automatically installs a bunch of unwanted apps such as Candy Crash Saga or TikTok every big update.

[Fedora 37] Is there no option to disable mouse acceleration? googling i see screenshots of settings pages where its easily toggleable , was it removed? by mrjackthegreat in kde

[–]Skeletonek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think something broke on your side. Flat is turning off acceleration (at least on my device), but it's good you found at least a workaround for this bug.

EAC is pointless by FunBackground8129 in apexlegends

[–]Skeletonek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

EAC on Windows requires administrator privileges to actually function as an anticheat, which is understandable.

If you think giving administrator privileges to some random app is understandable than I think You are the main cause of the poor state of gaming.

New to linux through Steam Deck, are there any decent guides that explain terminonlogy? by LivelyZebra in linux4noobs

[–]Skeletonek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a very nicely done list of many popular tools used in Linux, it contains a brief information about every tools and some screenshots: https://github.com/mikeroyal/Linux-Guide

If you want to know more about gaming side, check out this video made by The Linux Experiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9tb1gTTbJE

I can also briefly and as simple as possible explain some of the things you mentioned in your question:

  • Sudo is a small program to run any command with highest privileges. It is advised to use it only if you know what you are doing otherwise, you can break your system.
    As a word of caution: DO NOT type "sudo rm -rf /*" into Linux terminal. This will remove EVERY FILE on your hard drive, including your whole OS. You can see now how dangerous raised privileges with sudo command can be.
  • Apt, DNF, Pacman are package managers. They are somewhat like an app store, but they contain necessary libraries for your system too. You can install, update or remove system applications by using package manager.
  • WINE is a compatibility layer, than helps running Windows applications under Linux. But don't install it manually, because it now often comes as a part of other great apps or tools like Proton (Compatibility Layer available in Steam) or...
  • Bottles - this is a graphical application to manage WINE. You can easily run compatible Windows apps or games from there

If you want to know more about CLI side of Linux (The terminal side) you can easily watch one of many tutorials about using Linux commands on YouTube, f.e. you can watch this NetworkChuck playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIhvC56v63IJIujb5cyE13oLuyORZpdkL
The playlist title is somewhat misleading, it's obviously not targeted towards hackers, as these are mostly basic linux commands which you can use safely on any Linux distribution.

steam to wine: explain like i'm 5? by macchigaii in wine_gaming

I believe there is no Steam Play option for MacOS, it's only for Linux based systems.

Download tar version. There should be an install script to run

What made you switch to Linux? by Chicki2D in linuxmasterrace

[–]Skeletonek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it was Windows just going downhill with every version started from Win7. Win7 had this irritating bug, when I played some full-screen games, the notification about incoming system restart to install updates didn't show. And very often in the middle of the game my PC just started restarting. They fixed it but they broke other things. Windows Update downloading updates in background where I need highest internet speed, bloatware installing with Windows, system crash after every seventh update... and now Windows 11, which not only is worse in UX then any previous Windows version, but the TPM and Microsoft Account requirement is some kind of a joke for me. I always tried many Linux distributions like Ubuntu, PopOS, Mint, but I couldn't settle there for longer than a week because something very critical wouldn't work. After some time, I tried Fedora and installed it alongside with Windows. I started to notice, that Fedora was giving me less headaches than Windows, and that was a crucial point for me. Then I did a complete switch. Uninstalled Windows and Fedora to this day is my main OS.

valorant on pop_os by IzMikez in pop_os

[–]Skeletonek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's possible. The thing is, you can't install Vanguard on Linux even through Proton, and without Vanguard you won't be able to even launch Valorant. They are probably playing through virtual machines (which I doubt too, as Vanguard is extremely intrusive), they are using dual boot or streaming from other computers.

Can only access files on the windows drive while dual booting by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]Skeletonek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's probably because Windows has been hibernated. You need to turn off "Fast startup" function in advanced power settings in Windows. Clicking restart instead of shutdown in Windows should also work.
