no thats the thing, steam works without a problem. it is only when i do it NOT through steam where i get issues.

but i play mainly on windows anyway, i just wanted to try it out a bit out of boredom and got surprisingly good results.

i just wait how the windows kernel restrictions influence kernel level anti cheat, and depending on the result i may switch to full linux again if kernel AC breaks and devs are forced to use "normal" AC again

Yeah it's just games🀷 if push comes to shive i can just reinstall 'em i was just confused by the difference in behaviour depending wether the system or steam mounts it

This could very well be the anwser. there are in fact c: and z: in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/0/pfx/dosdevices

although i couldn't find an indicator that those are actually in use when launching a game through steam

Ah ok i think i get why it doesn't work through the auto mount, but i still don't understand why it works completely fine if i mount it through steam? What is different when steam mounts it?

 

So, I discovered weird behavior when trying to play games on an NTFS file system in Linux.

When i auto mount the drive through a fstab entry, it is only able to launch Linux native games (I think I read somewhere that this is a permission issue).

However, if I mount it through steams "select a drive" option, it works without a problem (so far at least).

I assume this is again a permission issue, as when I mount the drive through steam, I get a Polkit password prompt.

Anyone got a clue what's going on, and/or maybe a way to make the auto mount work, so I don't have to manually mount it after every boot?

Distro:

Arch

Kernel (according to neofetch):

If you want to use a custom rom, i can recommend pixels. Basically every custom rom is first and sometimes only available for pixel. I myself have a pixel 6a with lineageOS and magisk for root. Works fine apart from expected problems of tinkering with normally locked down files (be careful with ui customisation, got into a bootloop cause i wanted to change my quick tiles. Luckily easily fixed by deleting the settings folder of the app)

Edit: The app i mentioned was iconify which has a guide on what to do when bootlooping because of the app. (Need adb for that tho)

You could try to flash a generic android image, although it seems like those have degraded in quality judging from the linus tech tips video that mentioned this

Or, instead of slowing china down we could, and i know this sounds crazy but hear me out, speed up our own innovation rate

No they mean no matter who you vote, the us won't do jackshit

I think linux is more used than windows

It definitely would be nice if that were the case, but i think the best way to incentivice people is to reward them. Better yet make a competition out of it. Just gotta reward actions that benefit other people.

Like let people be millionaire's but to get there they need to help like ten thousand people or something

I wonder how well a system would work where you get more money, the more you help people/help solve problems (with problems i mean like pollution or something)

 

Like the title says i need an os for a x86 tablet.

I already tested various different linux distros, (mint, ubuntu, debian etc.) with various de's (gnome, xfce, plasma, plasma mobile) but nothing really suits a tablet. I tried android x86 but that wouldn't install.

Basically my problem is that apps etc. Are made with mouse and keyboard in mind making me unable to for example easily scroll as i have to drag the scroll bar manually.

Anyone got ANY recommendation? The default os was mint btw.

 

Specifically i want that the baterry icon in my status bar doesn't change color when the baterry saver is on.

I have a rooted phone with magisk and lsposed if that helps.

(My reason for that is that the color doesn't fit with my theming but i need the battery saver to keep my phone from dying throughout the day)

Doese anybody have any app recommendations for a rooted phone with lineageOS?

Things like: A proper file explorer A terminal if possible And apps in general that you can't use without root (i.e. power saver tuner(although it's possible without root))
