  • wine-ge-custom

    My custom build of wine, made to use with lutris. Built with lutris's buildbot.

  • So far I've had only had two issues. The Monkey Island remake used an odd part of the windows sound api that I had to install an extra package that somebody mentioned on protondb. And Horizon: Zero Dawn uses Universal Windows Platform's Windows.Gaming.Input api that's currently being patched in to Wine and it wouldn't recognise my gamepad out of the box. This was mainly an issue that I bought it on the Epic Store though, and solveable by downloading glorious eggrolls custom wine build to use with lutris. I imagine if I had bought it on steam this would have just worked out of the box.

  • realtek-r8125-dkms

    A DKMS package for easy use of Realtek r8125 driver, which supports 2.5 GbE.

  • What exactly did you do that needed two thumb drives and android phone? Quick google search revealed this https://github.com/awesometic/realtek-r8125-dkms it has three different ways to installs all involving 2 or less than two commands that you need to copy paste. I’m not trying to bash you or anything I’m genuinely interested how thumb drives and android phone got involved in this.
