nudisco was a thing for a little while and it’s not so bad.

the video was genuinely fun though. real linus has a rare nerd charisma.

i set smaller, realistic goals each year instead of trying to completely change my life all at once, and i’ve been doing better than average. compared to my trainwreck of a life, that is.

i think the key is to take it easy on yourself and recognize the path is always rockier than you expect.

whats his story?

i could probably make some money from a speaking dog?

i would play a game where i’m a 5khp that does 2hko, against a fast small guy that heals. sounds fun.

just copaganda

i dunno, a lot of western lemmings are lowkey racist.

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.

cleaning the tbi out is easier than going through the ignition system.

you are gonna feel a massive difference in the functioning of your engine after you clean it out, especially since you just did the ignition.

if your chevy 350 doesn’t sound cool, you are doing something very wrong with it.

i think it might finally be maintenance time, eh?

something tells me they wanted their own formats to catch on.

“i’m dying to go so i can make fun of my f-word nephew”

i was being hyperbolic. the real number is probably closer to the hundreds, which tbf is still pretty absurd.

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.

considering there are like a 1000 of them per year now, i’d say there’s a chance some do not.
