Not bad specs, aside from that CPU. It is terrible. My wii probably has more processing power than that.

I was just about to comment this lol
skids rejoice
I use the one that comes with my DE, but if I am using a WM I use kitty
He meant lighter as in performance wise.
By install another distro, I meant install a distro that has a nonfree repo(I’m using pureos), and just boot from a usb. I’m not sure how steam is packaged, but I’d imagine it would go against the point of a distro like pureos.
Thanks for the invite, I decided to have a squizz at the github, and saw that
Do you think that Wine-GE might be better for GOG games? I remember Wine-GE working fine for me before.
Thanks for the input, do you use the official steam client?
It’s just a preference, I prefer downloading from GOG, without the DRM or proprietary clients. Edit: I know steam has an open source command line tool
Proton is Wine with prefixes
Can you elaborate? Do you mean that it includes prefixes with it?
emulation for old games isn’t so demanding
By old, I meant 2010 to 2015, which is where my laptop reaches it’s limits. I’ve tried ps3 emulation and it couldn’t pull that off, and there is no emulator for 360 on linux(that I know of).
Not to mention the menu button just doesn’t work at all sometimes.
Yeah… to my knowledge it’s the same as a “normal” UEFI system, but instead of pressing esc
or f12
you hold the alt
or option
key on startup. Then select your USB, and boot. I’d strongly advise you test everything before installing.
This depends on which iMac it is. If it’s an Intel iMac, it is slightly easier, and if it’s an Apple Silicon iMac, it will be a bit more difficult. If it’s a Silicon, you’d need to use Asahi Linux, or have varying support. If it’s Intel, I’m pretty sure it’s similiar to installing on a PC, but can’t say for sure. I’ll look into it more

My liking for Ford after this: 📉📉📉
If they have good scores on protondb, it’s probably an issue with configuration. First, make sure you’re running it with proton. Go to the game’s configuration > compatibility and tick “force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool.” then select the highest version of proton available(don’t choose experimental if your game is supported according to protondb). Then, click play. if needed, proton will install and this should solve your issue. If it doesn’t, then you can delete steam(sudo pacman -R steam
), and remove the .steam folder in your home folder. This deletes your configuration for steam, and might help resolve issues. Then, re-install steam(sudo pacman -S steam
), and sign in again. Download your game and set up proton as I told you. If that still doesn’t work, you’ll want to make a post and share the log files.
i fw it
I don’t think your GPU is the issue here as well, I think your game might not work. If you want to try and diagnose the issue, I’d be happy to help. First, add the following to your Steam game options: PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
. Then, run the game. This will make a log file in your home directory, with the prefix “steam-” and then your appid. If you want to upload the log or paste the output here, I can try and look at it and try to help.
If I’m honest, I forgot what MATE was, so yeah I reviewed it and it still seems a bit lighter, but not too much.
