☂️-

oh i forgot about that part. yeah.

but hey probably a bit better now

i wish that was education. just an old piece of internet lore.

look him up if you feel like it, can’t deny that’s a pretty crazy life to have lived i can tell you that.

old school internet lore at this point. he is the infamous lolcow, got his life destroyed.

a sad story, i wonder how he is doing but i’m not sure if i want to know.

i’ve heard it referring to chris chan way back then, when people were more keen to bully him to madness. i’d understand if linus knows about it from being a victim of it, kiwi farms can get pretty relentless.

that’s literally standard internet chud lingo, what does this have to do with anything

that’s an improvement over sending the usians our money.

barely but still.

this kinda just shows he was affected by their trolling.

linus (sebastian) is not a great person but cmon that’s a big stretch.

yeah but they always did stuff like this. that has always been part of their plot.

kindly fuck off from my computer

i don’t know how well versed in linux you are so ill try to be thorough:

overall it seems lutris is just running another instance of bnet than you set up in bottles, and might be running on system wine instead of proton.

see, these programs each have a “prefix” which is fancy for the folder the emulated windows C: drive is, the games aren’t showing because you are probably running it in another prefix, would be my guess. you can simply try pointing lutris to the bottles prefix, or set up bnet anew in lutris.

as for the crash, check the lutris config and ensure it’s running on proton-latest or the latest proton-ge (right now it’s v10). you can do that in lutris settings>runners>wine>cog icon. you might be missing runtimes in the lutris prefix.

temporarily lagging your mouse/pc while games load on wayland is an issue i had in a much older version, which is why i asked you about it. you are probably already running latest if you got the flatpak, though. running it from the terminal with flatpak run net.lutris.Lutris then trying it again might output useful information pertaining to this issue on the terminal.

more generally, you can use lutris’ log feature (up arrow by the play button > show logs) and see if it tells you more about the error you are experiencing when you run it. this is great for general troubleshooting. also, protondb.com is where people post fixes for the few games that might be stubborn, even if you are not using steam to launch it. known problems usually have known solutions so searching around before stressing about will usually help you a lot.

it’s hard to make an often straightforward diagnostic from far away, but these are the things i’d try first. let me know if i can help you further and i will try.

huh. i don’t think you did anything wrong with mint.

did you try the flatpak or deb version of lutris? was it recent? old versions were hit and miss for me too.

that’s not what they mean when they say “ai” though.

the definitions changed since the “ai” hype.

nvidia complicates this, as always

sometimes people need time, it’s ok to prepare yourself for the switch by slowly going foss, for example. a lot of them end up switching eventually.

for me, the main thing about the “expert” distros like arch or gentoo is ease of customization and modularity. i would probably have a better time switching subsystems around until i find something i like on such a distro. gentoo was practical back in the early days of proton, when i needed to compile things with cherrypicked patches and use different versions of stuff to get some games to work.

and the learning that comes with it too.

i don’t use arch (or gentoo) rn, btw. just saying it’s valuable too, if that’s what you want from a distro.

exactly when i needed some ram.

thank you based ai bubble, for making shit unaffordable because of spambots.

everyone goes through that phase. logs often help a lot, and you will start to get a feel for what may be wrong like you did on windows. once some things become second nature you will stop needing windows altogether. meanwhile, friction means you are learning.

i usually favor lutris for gaming anyway, it’s better at keeping everything together and updated ime. bottles tends to lag behind a bit by default which is not ideal for games atm.

and we do it at work because it makes things easier in the long run!

great idea to do some of this stuff at home too.
