  • Have you tried Lutris + GE-Proton + umu?

    Edit>> Simply: Install Lutris, install Protonplus, install GE-Proton9-15 (or latest) with Protonplus, install game within Lutris. Configure the Runner for the game to use GE-Proton and then run the game (which Lutris will launch the game using umu).

    I’ve been running WoW this way for many months with no issues and no fps problems.

    Edit2>> You may be able to tell Lutris where to look for the game, but I would advise installing fresh on your ext4 or btrfs or whatever Linux drive you have.

    Also, if it helps get you away from Windows, I’ve been running games this way since April, and finally dumped Windows for good. The only games I can’t play are those with unsupported anti-cheat (which I don’t play anyway so it doesn’t affect me).

    Edit3>> And in case you were wondering, I’m running Garuda Linux (Garuda KDE Dr460nized version but I changed the theme).

    In my experience, as a 25-year developer in mostly OOP languages and frameworks, is that people who attack OOP usually don’t really understand it and its usefulness.

    And to be fair as it relates to attacking languages or language concepts, I attacked JavaScript without fully understanding it, many years ago. I now understand it more than I ever have in the past and it has some good qualities.

    So these days it’s no longer the languages or language concepts I take issue with (though I’ll joke about JavaScript from time to time). It’s the developers who misuse or misunderstand the languages or concepts that irk me. And especially the developers who think being lazy is a virtue.

    This article sounds a decade old.

    systemd attempts to cover more ground instead of less

    Have I got news for the author about the kernel he seems to have no issue with. (Note: I love the Linux kernel, but being a monolith, it certainly covers more ground instead of less, so the author’s point is already flawed unless he wants to go all Tanenbaum on the kernel, too)

    It’s strange to me that if the guy has such a problem with how open source software works (such as his code being used (ideally with license being followed), bugs, pull requests, etc), why did he not just keep it closed source?

    Seems to me he either didn’t understand how open source works, or he got in way over his head.

    You’re right, though, best to ignore.
