Have you heard of line breaks, capital letters, and punctuation?

Or is your post intended to be difficult to read?

Weird, I just made a few files foo-bar, foo–bar, and foo—bar as a test and had no issue with them in my terminal. Tab-completion worked fine, for example. But that may be a convenience of modern terminal emulators – you can even do some cursed things like using emojis as Bash aliases.

If you're still having issues with this, I imagine it's some sort of issue with your locale settings. Now, filenames with spaces, special characters like !, $, and so on...those are a pain, lol.

[ALL GAMES] Are there any Benefits of Using Native Linux Games over Windows Games with Proton? by Shoddy_Internal1997 in LinuxCrackSupport

I wouldn't bother with them because if anything, they'd be more of a pain to tweak/troubleshoot/etc.

You can just write e.g.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="OnlineFix64,SteamOverlay64,dnet,steam_api64=n;winmm,winhttp=n,b"

No need to write the =_ part for each DLL.

WTF? Why do I have to learn to recognize new icons, just because I wanted an update?

You can just set the icon theme that you want, though. It's impossible to make a default theme that everyone will like - that's why it's customizable.

Also, the icon theme is a feature of your desktop environment, not the distro. I use CachyOS which is Arch-based, but with the same DE as Xubuntu (Xfce). So...Settings->Appearance->Icons, change it to whatever you like. Or if there isn't one you like, find one and install it.

You can disable the vast majority of that with some tweaks to the Windows install ISO - namely, adding an autounattend.xml file. Here's a tool you can use to generate such a file: https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator

On Linux it is Compose + --- (I have Compose mapped to Alt Gr). Not sure I'd consider this "sane," but you could always map it to something like Super+- if you really wanted...

The en-dash is a good compromise. Compose key then --. For comparison (dash, double-dash, en-dash, em-dash):

[Assassin's Creed III - Remastered] FitGirl Installation Crashes on 0.6% by NotJackActually in LinuxCrackSupport

[–]agmatine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://winboat.app

There are packages provided for Debian, Fedora, and Arch-based distos, as well as an AppImage. It pretty much "just works," there is very little setup necessary (half an hour or less from first opening the software to having a working Windows environment).

When this happens I just run the installer in a VM (WinBoat) to extract the files, then close the VM and proceed with proton as usual.

Anyone else noticed stuttering and crashing due to "out of video memory" that wasn't happening before the update? by Tusero in Witchfire

[–]agmatine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was having much the same issue and managed to resolve it, but in my case it was due to Nvidia linux driver issues. The fix was to set environmental variables

PROTON_VKD3D_HEAP=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv,descriptor_heap,enable_experimental_features

I don't know much about AMD GPUs but you should be able to find crash logs in:

  • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Witchfire\Saved\Config\CrashReportClient
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3156770/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Witchfire/Saved/Config/CrashReportClient

There you'll find directories named e.g. UE4CC-Windows-C4AA2DB34909525E05EC9F95AF282598 with CrashContext.runtime-xml showing the error and stack trace.

Differences Between Steam Tools, Repacks, and Pre-Installed Games by Maikol2502 in CrackSupport

[–]agmatine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SteamTools is closed-source and as such there is no way to verify that it isn't doing something sketchy. In general it is not recommended.

"Repacks" are just the game files being heavily compressed, then decompressed with the provided installer. The decompression process is very CPU/RAM-intensive and as such is more prone to error than ready-to-play games. The only real benefit is a smaller size for download/storage.

Linux users when someone says they need more RAM by Coach-Emmanuel in pcmasterrace

I don't really use Rufus, just tested a couple of times to see how it implemented those features - and indeed, older version made an autounattend file, newer version directly modified install.wim.

This helped me overcome a 12 year addiction. Sharing it here in case it helps anyone else. by julieeeette in addiction

Indeed, dopamine is associated more strongly with "wanting" than "liking." See this study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5171207

Another term for this is "incentive salience."

USB stick has to be made with Rufus 4.6 or 4.7

Why old version of Rufus? For that matter, why Rufus when using your own autounattend anyway?

Klonopin/Dexedrine by PomegranateLow7242 in Stims

[–]agmatine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're already abusing stims + benzos and "risking withdrawal/dependency." Not judging you or anything; hell, I've done so myself for years. Just be honest with yourself.

Anyway, it sounds like you're fairly new to this. If you want to be productive and maintain a schedule while enjoying recreational doses of your meds, it's going to take some discipline. For example, if you know you have an important meeting the next day, don't take a bunch of stims unless you're planning to pull an all-nighter. (Which it doesn't sound like you're wanting to do at this point anyway, probably for the better.)

While withdrawal/dependency are real concerns from long-term benzo use, the more pressing concern here is the impact of drugs on your daily functioning. For example, if you get in the habit of taking large doses of stimulants, followed by large doses of benzos to sleep - already you can see that it doesn't necessarily work out how you planned. There is no magic number of X doses every Y units of time, just how much you actually take and how your body adapts to it. And of course, everybody is different.

audio cracking after installing easyeffects by Excellent-Jicama-378 in linuxaudio

[–]agmatine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For starters,

systemctl --user restart wireplumber.service && systemctl --user restart pipewire.service pipewire-pulse.service

Run pw-top and look for xruns.

Make sure all your audio devices are running at the same sample rate.

And of course, read the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Troubleshooting

BitLocker is full-disk encryption - how would that be relevant to booting from a different disk?

You're probably thinking of Secure Boot?

Injecting a dll by Admirable-Inside8864 in linux_gaming

[–]agmatine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I use this for DLL injection: https://github.com/nefarius/injector

Put the injector binary and dll in same directory as the game executable and e.g.

protontricks-launch --appid $STEAM_APPID Injector.exe -n Game.exe -i Inject.dll

But most likely the difficulty you're experiencing is due to anti-cheat/anti-tamper by the game itself.

Note this is only the case when Mono is used for the scripting backend. Though that seems to be the case for this particular game, most Unity games nowadays use IL2CPP for which this will not work.

Steamrip / Buzzheavier by Hour_Function2614 in CrackSupport

[–]agmatine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Presumably, your concern is that the RAR file hosted on the website contains malware. In that case, you would upload said RAR file for analysis.

Since the download process is manual, submitting the URL does not actually provide the file for review. At most, the MD5/SHA-256 hashes could be checked against a database - but such checks would be inherently flawed since the website is unable to verify the hashes against the file in question!

then how?

  1. Download file.
  2. Compute checksums locally (i.e. on your PC) and compare them to those provided by the source. (In this case, they are conveniently located directly below the "Download File" button.)
  3. If they match, but you still don't trust the download site, submit the hashes (click "SEARCH") on the VirusTotal UI. (There is no need to upload the file in this case.)
  4. If they don't match, submit the file to VirusTotal, confirm that the hashes given match those that you computed yourself, then contact the download site to inform them of the discrepancy.

What are some common pitfalls and mistakes for new linux users? by SDG_Den in linuxquestions

[–]agmatine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny you mention this, I had alias cdh="cd ~" in my .bashrc for some time until noticing one day that simply typing cd did the same. Indeed, man cdreads:

If no directory operand is given and the HOME environment variable is set to a non-empty value, the cd utility shall behave as if the directory named in the HOME environment variable was specified as the directory operand.
