Welp, since I called out from work, I'm reinstalling ESO.
I'm doing this through Lutris, using the install script from their site. I am seriously impressed with how much work goes into all this.

I forgot how incredibly bad the story in Heart of the Swarm. I've played the campaign a few times now and I still can't rationalize anything Kerrigan does- it makes no sense.

The remaining issues are:
- the path to Documents is all messed up
- there's a hideous blue Windows menu bar at the top (shudder)
#FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #Linux #Debian #Gnome #Lutris #Wine #Scrivener
For anyone using #Scrivener on #Linux via #Lutris (ie, #Wine), the recent upgrade to 0.5.22 *broke* your installation.
I have learned of a fix for the DPI problem, which is one of the three issues.
DPI is now stuck at 96, which is unreadable on a modern monitor.
To fix this:
- go to Wine options in the left-hand menu
- toggled "Advanced"
- scroll down to "DPI"
- toggle "Enable DPI Scaling"
- set DPI to 240 (or whatever)

Hey les #linux #gamers, j'ai testé #Lutris puis l'ai remisé pour #Heroic qui, je pense, fonctionne mieux pour les jeux de ma fille sur son ordi. Mais quel est votre avis sur #Faugus ? Mieux ou pas terrible ?
Quel est le lanceur le plus efficace (notamment pour des jeux GOG et Genshin Impact entre autres) ?
I messed around a bit this morning in #TempusGameIt and got suggested games detected properly for Steam on linux.
I'm also confident that I can build a suggested game engine for GoG titles too via #lutris. It will give me the GoG ID that I can connect to an IGDB title.
I think that'll be a huge win for linux, since the catalog there is especially sparse.

@robertpoplawski There are launchers, one is called #Lutris which set up #wine and use #proton to run the game. You can even log in to many platforms (#steam, #gog, ...) - #Bazzite is basically a #SteamDeck OS replacement for other systems.
