  • I thought the same thing for a while and went through the process a couple of days ago! So every time you hop distros you have to wipe your /root directory. Usually if you don’t change it during the install your /home directory is mounted on the same device/partition your root is mounted on.

    My solution was to install Gparted and create a new partition on the drive I want to install the new OS on (set to use any file format you want ((btrfs or ext4))) - I gave that partition around 50gb depending on the distro you might need more/less.

    • A /efi/boot partition with 1000mib which has to be set to FAT32

    And the rest of your drive can be your /home partiton set to any file format you want (nfts is recommended if you’re dual booting windows ((or btrfs/ext4 if that’s not the case))).

    That would be the setup, depending on your setup you could just copy your entire home directory over into the new partition and then install OpenSuse.

    Do note during the installation process you will have to set your partitioning yourself. Meaning the installer will ask you where you want it to install each component. That’s where you set all three partitons… At least I hope the YaSt installer does that.

    And there you go, you will have to reinstall applications that aren’t in sandboxes like flatpaks. But your configuration for these applications should apply right away saving you some time.


  • ADHD review: The best “beginner” MH game

    75h on record finished all the main and side mission.

    The game is extremely convenient in its gameplay loop, auto ride your yoshi to the monster and kick its butt, doesn’t matter what weapon you’re using. Everything is good, yet you still get rewarded for exploitating elemental/status weaknesses. Very fun with friends. Performance gets better the longer you play.

    In long: This entry into the series has been the easiest and most fun, but the downside is with that convenience MH is starting to lose its identity as a hunting game. Its less (to none) about tracking a monster setting a trap and hunting it and more about hacking and slashing away until said monster stops moving.

    The Story - While the combat is pure hype and adrenaline the story telling is like a direct infusion of melatonin. Bogging the first 10~ hours of the game down. (Don’t get me wrong this isn’t a “after 10 hours the game gets good” kinda deal, the game is instantly good just the story is pesky.)

    The Performance - Luckily the first title update is planned to be released in 3 days bringing with it massive performance updates (namely the VRAM optimizations), and while this can of worms is way way waaaay to complicated to get into detail now, it’s still very much rough around the edges dipping from 60~30 FPS but the game isn’t “unplayable” per-say. Someone smarter then me can probably figure this out and explain it better, but as someone who uses a “unsupported” platform (Linux) and has only been doing pretty much plug and play without tinkering I still think that the game is worth playing for its asking price.



  • This may be an issue with your graphics drivers more so then wine, have you installed Mesa? Or are you using AMD’s drivers?

    You can check with this command vulkaninfo --summary although glxinfo -B may fetch more information try the latter and tell me how it goes if you want.

    Alternatively Steam might not recognize your resolution by default and just force your games to run in 1920x1080, which ends up messing with the display manager so much it just gives up, (I am not certain how to fix that as I don’t use an ultra wide monitor, perhaps editing something in the steam configuration but … Eh) there is a solution if all else fails and that’s just using gamescope! sudo dnf -y install gamescope to install.

    You can read up on it if you want but the gist of it is, it’s a window manager specifically made to run games inside your usual window manager (so no need to switch between Wayland or X11) its controlled via the steam launch options with certain arguments, or more easily accessible options via Lutris.

    gamescope --help for all options or refer to the link to the (gamescope!) Github to figure out how to configure it for your needs.

    TLDR: As I see it the “easiest” solution is to bypass the problem entirely and use gamescope the option provided by Valve.
