[LTT] This is NOT going Well… Linux Gaming Challenge Pt.2 -

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • goxlr-on-linux

    Documentation and scripts to make the GoXLR and GoXLR Mini useful on Linux.

  • Not accurate on the g pro, it does give a low battery warning and if Linus was able to find this script for GoXLR, he should have been able to google a bit and know that Piper exists and can control rbg, button mapping and sensitivity dpi.

  • piper

    GTK application to configure gaming devices

  • Yeah same, Fedora 35 here, but dwm. I use piper for controlling everything about my mouse from DPI to RGB. It's as simple as $ sudo dnf install piper and $ piper and using a point and click GUI. Much easier than navigating Logitechs website, downloading, going through install shield, probably trying to avoid getting an Ask Jeeves toolbar or McAfee trial installed on Windows.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • move-wsl

    Easily move your WSL distros VHDX file to a new location.

  • Just means you didn't have to use github-distributed solutions for any of your Windows issues (like, for example, moving wsl to another drive, or backing up/restoring docker volumes (surprise, surprise, windows will happily run .sh files too))

  • docker_named_volume_backup

    easy shell script for backup & restore docker named volume

  • Just means you didn't have to use github-distributed solutions for any of your Windows issues (like, for example, moving wsl to another drive, or backing up/restoring docker volumes (surprise, surprise, windows will happily run .sh files too))

  • com.obsproject.Studio

    Discontinued This repository is no longer used to build OBS. Issues should be reported at https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio

  • mpv

    🎥 Command line video player

  • VLC has been pretty nice...though I'm kinda more partial to the simple UI of mpv.

  • obs-studio

    OBS Studio - Free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording

  • It's worth noting that all three of those are relatively new, as desktop applications go. I believe that only one of them accepts contributions. One of them is a Microsoft product, where subpar support for rival platforms may not be a huge surprise.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • sydent

    Sydent: Reference Matrix Identity Server

  • libratbag

    A DBus daemon to configure input devices, mainly high-end and gaming mice

  • Same on Debian. As long as your mouse is supported by libratbag and your DE uses that (as GNO?E and its derivatives do) then you're all set. I can also configure what the DPI button does etc. via gnome-control-panel.

  • ssr

    SimpleScreenRecorder, a screen recorder for Linux

  • proton-ge-custom

    Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

  • A surprising number of games have been rendered playable via the work of GloriousEggroll's Proton GE.

  • systemd-kcm

    Kcm module for managing systemd

  • it exists, at least on KDE: https://github.com/KDE/systemd-kcm
