My password was changed and I don't know what it is. anyone know the solution?
So I thought it would be cool to access my pc with a usb or password, so I set up pam_usb (https://github.com/mcdope/pam_usb). It ended up working and I can use a USB to log in. Later I tried to log in with my password and it said it was incorrect. I can still use the USB but I would also like to know what my password was changed to. I am using Ubuntu.

He probably didn't even bother to try Proton
Just played games on Linux for the first time. It's way easier than I originally thought since Proton is integrated into Steam client. Can even run non-Steam games through Steam client but had to use protontricks to add dependencies like Visual C++ redistributables.

Modding Question
ALSO if a mod has some kind of external dependency, like if it specifically mentions needing VisualC or .NET Runtime, Protontricks will be a lifesaver for installing these into Proton prefixes. Might not need it often, but could come in handy to know anyways.

Techniques to Get DX9 Games Working, The Maw in Particular?
That might be a problem, you could try to install native d3dx9 and xact to the game's wine prefix using winetricks or protontricks. I'd try d3dx9 on it's own first.
