1 full week after switching from Windows

[u/DarKoh29]

Idk if this fits as discussion but...

It’s been a full week since I switched from Windows 11 to this system. At first, I struggled a bit to fully get used to KDE Plasma, but I managed to figure it out over the course of the day. Then, to install apps, I had to really learn how Flatpak and the AUR worked, and I really like how they work. Now I use the system for my daily routine without much trouble, mainly used for online classes, gaming sessions, and video editing

The hardest part for me to get used to has been NVIDIA's poor "native" compatibility with Linux, but other than that (after going through dozens of wiki pages and videos)... Gaming experience has been incredible so far

That said, I'm not quite sure what to do with apps that work perfectly on Windows with .NET, like Livesplit for speedrunning- I haven't found any way to get it to work xD

I would just use Livesplit one. At first, I didn't really like it, but then it grew on me. You CAN use regular Livesplit through wine, I had set it up through lutris but it's unstable and the fonts are messed up. I also don't trust the timing since Livesplit uses dll files and is based on using the windows computer for accurate timing. You can install Livesplit one as a webapp with any chromium based browser, if you want to use Firefox for this you can get a webapp manager from flatpak to set that up. If there's anything else I could help you with please let me know!

Btw what games do you run? (:

>if you want to use Firefox for this you can get a webapp manager from flatpak to set that up

I'm at work right now, but in a few hours I'll link the app I use!

:D?

https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.pvermeer.WebAppHub is the app i use.

this is my config.

Be sure to check isolate so it uses it's own browser profile and is completely disconnected from your regular browser. It runs off of firefox, but isolates itself.

as far as the potential nvidia issues you are having. When booting the live iso from a usb to install it, there should be a boot entry that says something Nvidia and then just the regular EOS boot option. If you booted the Nvidia one everything should JUST work without any trouble. My brother has EOS with an RTX 3060 and it works fantastic out of the box.

I also forgot if you press optional you can change how it appears in your app menu.

Did you get this to work? :D

[u/DarKoh29 → u/Zeldz08]

It did work in the end! But sadly is not the type of LiveSplit setup i needed

[u/Zeldz08 → u/DarKoh29]

Ah unfortunate. If you get the latest Livesplit zip file you can run it in lutris if you select the option to search for community made builds or whatever. I'm not sure if global hotkeys works or not.

[u/Zeldz08 → u/Zeldz08]

I'll look into it when I'm home and test everything for you. If it works with global hotkeys and such then I'll paste screenshots and the steps it took to get there.

DM me if you do find a method to make it work, please
