nix-gaming VS osu-wine

Another question, I am using wine-tkg installed from nix-gaming. However, Lutris depends on and uses wine-staging. Is it possible to force Lutris to use wine-tkg instead?

Take a look at this repo https://github.com/fufexan/nix-gaming

I don't really play that much anymore nowadays, but I have the game installed from this Nix channel. If you know Nix or feel like figuring out how to it installed on your system (you can install Nix on any distro), you can try installing it from there :)

There's wine-tkg in https://github.com/fufexan/nix-gaming. Using the same derivation for that, one could build GE from source the same way.

Right now Heroic isn't packaged, but legendary is. nix-gaming takes advantage of that and creates a basic install/launch script + desktop entry for RL, for convenience. Feel free to try!

Never played it before but git clone https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine; ./osu-wine/osu-wine set it up and ran it without much issue. and it seems to work fine for the 30m I sucked at it. It even worked with my Huion graphics tablet.

It hasn't been updated in 2 years now, but osu-wine, by diamondburned/forefront, is the one I have used when I've played osu.

I used this repo with this guide to get stable running on Pop_OS.

I used this to install osu! and use wine 7.0rc2-GE-1. I messed around with my pipewire configs according to this guide_Switching_to_PipeWire) a bit before I got the idea to use liquorix and I never really arrived at a perfectly fine result using the stock fedora kernel, so I don't know how much I actually gain from this but I never bothered to revert since it runs well now.

osu!lazer even runs natively, but since it doesn't give pp yet, you'll probably want to run osu!stable. It runs great, if you get the settings right, but it requires a bit of trial and error. What worked best for me so far was to use this to install osu!, and then follow this guides pipewire section_Switching_to_PipeWire), plus going into the pipewire config files and removing the # at the start of the nice.level = -11 line, and the three below it in pipewire.conf, pipewire-pulse.conf and in client-rt.conf. On top of that I use some GE version of wine.

Now, the tricky part is, the official osu! executable from the osu website won't work (or you will have to use lutris) , you gotta install this one https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine

I am at the same exact point as you. I installed osu through osu-wine (https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine/) and after installing various lib32 things for it to work, I've come to the point where when i start osu, its working in every way, but the window is just a garble or black. Changing desktops or toggling fullscreen kills osu.
