why not just use Steams wine to run your windows apps? That's what I do. Set env vars (writing from memory adjust for actual path): WINESERVER=~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilty/GE-Proton-Blabla28/default-prefix/files/bin/wineserver WINE=/same/as/wineserver/bin/wine WINEPREFIX=/same/but/dir/name/is/default-prefix [now start the game or app] wine /path/to/game-or-app.exe Now it won't crash because you are using Steam's Wine Magic. Happy Hacking
I recently installed ubuntu with an amd 7800xt and still follow your linux gaming guide install from 2020, and still works albeit with a couple of things no longer install, but everything works great, lutris, steam, epic games, ea games, gog........all install linux and windows games
I installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on my gamer PC. I installed Steam with proton experimental, Heroic and Lutris. Then I installed my games on Steam and they all worked perfectly except for Forza 5. Heroic and Lutris made my Diablo 2 and 3 possible and also Epic games. I didn't expect it to run so smooth on Linux, but that's all I did. No tinkering of any kind, all my modern games ran with no issues except the above mentioned.
3:21 As somebody who used to reinstall after futzing up paths in ~/.bashrc, I've learned it's so much easier and faster to fix things than reinstalling everything. If I can /usr/bin/nano ~/.bashrc, I can fix all my path problems myself.
1:12:00 Back in the day when I would use Windows XP the whole desktop would lag and windows would get this sketchy effect where you dragged it, it had a 'shadow' of copies of the window, and then I installed .NET Framework and voila no more lag. It's basically in the name. You need .NET SDK in order to create GUI elements in C#, so the SDK is a library while the runtime/framework is a prerequisite in order to have a functional GUI.
can't wait for this to be finished. I've been wanting to switch to linux for a while but I always run into strange and random issues all the time that I can't manage to fix even checking on the net
What problems are you running into in what games? I play all my games on Linux (Debian 12) without much issues, some run better than on Windows like - The Division - Stellaris - Albion Online
For me it was basically plug and play with fedora 39 and normally i get around 50 to 60 fps in games la hell divers and cyberpunk, I'll try this tips to see if I get any improvement.
41:20 you can also do the add repo of winehq's repo and install winehq's wine-stable/wine-devel/wine-staging packages provivded by them instead of the wine package provided by fedora
Tool kit needs fzf, zsh extensions, helix editor, tmux, vs code, zellij, rust and Cargo, Python, mysql, postgresql. Considering it's to make life easy. Not to forget node js
Hi Chris. Thank you for your videos, really nice to watch,allthoug i am not a gamer (newer been) , i am Linux (Arch, these days) user. I started to use Linux back in 1998 (anyone remember Debian net-install?) beeing tired that i could not modify Win 2000 NT CD to my liking during that time (no tools back then).
Looking forward to seeing this move forward, got everything I need more or less working on Pop OS for the moment but played with both Arch and Nobara and am not averse to rebuilding my main system to make things a bit less painful in the future.
Would love a tutorial on using Usb stuff on Linux games running in Wine. Ie getting Yoke and pedals to work in flight sims etc. Theres very little on the Web and Ive tried using GPT to help me but I keep ending up with the same errors and go in circles.
So.... after 25 years of hoping and trying, seeing GNU/Linux moving so far into gaming is spectacular. Only had a few issues with a few games that I play and am NOT going back to windoze. Is a guy better off continuing to tune my Zorin 17 install, or moving into a Deb/Fedora/Arch distro as we move forward? Great content.
Watching a Titus stream on a specific subject before he takes a 1.5hr detour: Community: Really? Why? Titus: Because my brain is a wild jungle full of scary gibberish. "I'm writing a letter, I can't write a letter, why can't I write a letter? I'm wearing a green dress, I wish I was wearing my blue dress, my blue dress is at the cleaner's. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue, 'Casablanca' is such a good movie. Casablanca, the White House, Bush. Why don't I drive a hybrid car? I should really drive a hybrid car. I should really take my bicycle to work. Bicycle, unicycle, unitard. Hockey puck, rattlesnake, monkey, monkey, underpants!" That is from a scene in Gilmore Girls (my wife loves that show). By the way I love your detours, it's often where I learn the most from you as they are things others don't talk about as its often considered common knowledge to them. Thanks for being awesome!
I tried regata os and from the live iso lutris steam vkd3d and all is there by default having my game and prefix on another drive i open lutris point the game and prefix turn on gamemode and mangohud and play any AAA i had ...feom a live iso 😂 i dont personally like the environment once install but its functional and no problem after 15 min of resident evil 2 remake and callisto protocol
*scope creap* Another thing that might be helpful is apps like discord dont do screensharing for some beacuse of xwayland, maybe getting an xorg setup option would be good.
After adding 32 bit support for debian, it needs to update and upgrade to grab and install those libraries. In script it's only updating and no upgrading so it's grabbing those libraries but not installing it.
My post install script is 309 lines and half of it is echo and sleep 1. Installing every distro until Nvidia works is how you do that one tho. Unless it’s drm.modeset 1.
Love your work, Titus! so I am understanding this is still a work in progress? can't wait until there's a finished product. I've been slowly trying to migrate away from Win 11 to Fedora 40, but struggling getting certain things working. I haven't even configured Steam/gaming yet, but I attempted to get Davinci Resolve working and am still having AMD issues where it refuses to playback anything I throw into the app. Maybe you can address this in a future video? :)
@TitusTechTalk hey man I love your videos, what are you using to draw on your screen?! I have a lenovo ideapad and the lenovo pen, I planned to use it for taking math notes(calculus sucks!) in excalidraw, but my laptop wont pair with the pen on linux so excalidraw wont let me draw since theres no click to tell it to draw!
ive been having some issues with nvidia on bazzite idk if its just me or that i need to wait for next update but i have various x11 issues and wayland issues
The actuall gaming setup part of the stream was like 40 minutes and he was writing a script that had to account for a bunch of different distros. Yes, gaming on Linux is harder and it can be inconvenient, but I'm kind of tired of people trying to make it seem like you'll be spending hours trying to set up one game when in reality most things just work. What you'll really be having trouble with is the ten percent of games that don't just work out of the box, and most of those don't work because the Devs won't bother to enable Linux support on their anti cheat.
why not just use Steams wine to run your windows apps? That's what I do. Set env vars (writing from memory adjust for actual path):

WINEPREFIX=/same/but/dir/name/is/default-prefix

5:40 "I did all the leg work setting it up, and now, it just works." would be more correct.

I think Titus is a Windows guy with a distro on VM that he dabbles in sometimes
Just wait until a major update breaks some of your games. It's only a matter of time 😂
@@NoGoodNoobjust take periodic snapshots with time shift, hopefully you can just roll back :))

Just 3min. in, I'm so happy that you praise container setups now! I really enjoy Distrobox and Flatpaks.
Idk I’ve literally never had issues. It really does just work xD I don’t say it to troll… but to be fair most my library is on steam.

I have both Affinity and Corel Paintshop Pro, both are very close to Photoshop. I prefer Paintshop Pro as a Photoshop replacement.
You should make gametools like wintools but for gaming and then the donations will make you millions
But for different Linux distros
For me it was basically plug and play with fedora 39 and normally i get around 50 to 60 fps in games la hell divers and cyberpunk, I'll try this tips to see if I get any improvement.

I really enjoy your content and would appreciate it if you'd put out Moore Debian content.
I'll update Debian-Titus Soon.

Bottles is awesome. Been using it for WoW without issue
As a Fedora 40 KDE enjoyer, I heartily welcome this script.
Pegasus Front-End in the gaming section would be nice too. It's always nice with options. ^^

Were you able to play on a local network with IPX in old Windows games?
44:00 the word on the screen is no longer real.....p.s., went and bought the exe wrapper to show my support even though I only use Windows for gaming.
