zrythm VS FFXIVQuickLauncher

I just tested Ubuntu 22.10+PipeWire+Zrythm and I get the exact same result. I have to run /usr/bin/pw-jack /opt/zrythm-1.0.0.beta.3.10.1/bin/zrythm_launch unless I install Zrythm from Flatpak as Flatpak seems to already embed pw-jack.

Free and opensource DAWs: Ardour is the "standard" traditional DAW, but I recommend checking out Zrythm or Qtractor as you might prefer their workflows.

we keep a fork there if you prefer to use github (https://github.com/zrythm/zrythm) but we don't actually use github for development

if you really want to use github pull requests instead of sending patches feel free to do that and I'll still look at them but we recommend patches via email because it's an open and standard system

Zrythm looks promising, though I'm not an audio guy, myself.

Have a look at this XIV launcher: https://goatcorp.github.io/ it's got Linux support and it's even got a steam deck installation guide. It took me 20 minutes to get it sorted

Just use XIVLauncher. https://goatcorp.github.io/

Luckily for you, Final Fantasy XIV runs fine on the SteamOS. To run Final Fantasy XIV on the steam deck, use FFXIV Launcher and follow the guide at https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher

No, there's a third party launcher that has a plugin API, popularly used by the Dalamud plugin

I use a 3rd-party launcher: https://goatcorp.github.io/

Install XIVLauncher by following the instructions on this site. Once in game, open the ESC menu and select Dalamud Plugins. Find the plugin named Chat Bubbles in the list and install it.

You can find various body edits on https://www.xivmodarchive.com/ . In order to use them, the easiest way is to use the XIVLauncher (https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher) which enables the addon system. With that, download the addon "Penumbra" to use those edited bodies ingame (https://github.com/xivdev/Penumbra).

To use plugins at all you need to install and launch the game via XIVLauncher. Then open the plugin installer, either by hitting ESC and opening that or typing /xlplugins into the game's chat box. There's a plugin called DeviceChangeFix, you can scroll to it or search for it and install it. No configuration necessary, it'll simply skip searching for devices if the count of connected devices hasn't changed since the last time it would have searched.
