1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I'm looking at you, ubisoft (feddit.org)

    Reason for this meme is that some ubisoft titles are shipped with a broken version of ubisoft connect launcher. Installing these games is only possible by running the installer for the launcher again via protontricks.

    This used to be possible, but isn't anymore. Source: the author of lutris

    His version works though. I use Lutris for everything that isn't on steam or is a windows program, and it works great.

    Huh? That's quite interesting.

    I've been running a hacked-together script which uses a disembodied copy of Proton 8 (aka. copied to a portable drive, doesn't need to have Steam installed to run) to launch my games from Itch and GoG.

    Hmm, just tried to use Proton 9.0-2 and the current experimental in my steamapps (which appears to be version 9.0-202), and it works just fine. Though, I guess Lutris' implementations are quite a bit more advanced than my hacks (no debugging let's goooo).

    A very simplified version of my script, for those who might be interested: pastebin.com/kbNNvzAx. Don't forget to uncomment game_exe and set it to your executable - won't work otherwise.

    Also, pinging @DacoTaco@lemmy.world in case of interest.
