The show has a completely different tone and pacing from the books. The books are much closer to LotR (particularly the first one which is basically just alt. Fellowship) and spend a lot of time with the characters traveling and getting to know each other and the lore of the world. There's plenty of bickering, but the characters all like each other and get along decently. The show opted to cut most of the parts where you learn what's going on to instead focus on manufactured drama.

They also just changed things in really confusing ways like making Mat's parents deadbeats, among other things. Some of the plot restructuring makes sense given how much stuff there is to adapt. I don't think anyone reasonable can expect any book adaptation to keep 100% faithful unless it's getting crazy funding as a TV series. That said they just really took a knife to things.

Idk, as someone who loves the books despite their issues I wasn't particularly enamoured with the show. Some people liked it though.

If the world seemed interesting I'd recommend the audiobooks. Love Michael Kramer and Kate Reading.

Which desktop environment are you using? If it's gnome I think you can just go into mouse settings and disable the controller. That won't disable it entirely though, just it acting as a mouse. Kde has something similar

I think experimental just rebased onto wine 10 so there may have been some regressions. Could also be completely unrelated, lot of moving parts.

Does just F5 work? Try getting/running wev and see what you get back for inputs. Get events back on kde, not tried it on cosmic.

That's compared to default wine which doesn't have f-sync. Compared to proton there probably won't be much of a difference.

Also running into some power issues. Getting really weird behavior where it will run at full force for a bit then drop down to ~60fps, but at really regular intervals. (nixos, 6.14 rc6 cachyos, mesa-git, linux-firmware 20250311) Some kind of throttling oscillation maybe? Saw this in Cyberpunk, MH Wilds, AC EVO, so mostly intensive games. (Was seeing something similar on windows with MH so idk.) Minecraft with shaders didn't have this behavior.

Dunno. Seems like the kind of thing that will get sorted out eventually.

Edit: this turned out to be thermal throttling from how my PC was set up.

Yeah, I can use it normally for games. Bottles just seems to not want to. My issue may be slightly different then.

Have the same issue due to my vfio setup https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/issues/3270 No activity since my comment. My setup has an Intel CPU with integrated graphics, an AMD GPU for the host, and an Nvidia GPU for my vfio setup with no drivers loaded. Bottles just won't use the amd card so I can't really use it for any apps that need a GPU. I guess it just has some really weak logic for deciding which one it should pick.

Hopefully they just give us an option to let us choose which device it should use. Maybe we could convince them to do it with the cosmic rewrite they've talked about.

Just got it! Super excited

 

I am attempting to follow this https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2022/09/wireguard-port-forward-from-internet to forward traffic from a few ports on a public oracle vps to other ports on my local server through a wireguard connection. Currently I am doing this using rinetd, but I was looking for a more normal way of forwarding traffic. (Also looking to forward UDP traffic at some point.)

After stopping rinetd, adding these rules to the public server's wg config

# packet forwarding
PreUp = sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

# port forwarding
PreUp = iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens3 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.144.65.2:8443
PostDown = iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i ens3 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.144.65.2:8443

# packet masquerading
PreUp = iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wg0 -j MASQUERADE
PostDown = iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o wg0 -j MASQUERADE

and restarting the wg connection, I'm seeing traffic on the ens3 port but none entering wg0 via tcpdump. I feel like I probably have conflicting iptables rules saved https://pastebin.com/0eNwhNKM but I don't really know enough about whats going on there to fix it. I feel like its probably the wireguard-*-rule ones (created by pivpn possibly?) but I'm not sure.

Edit way later: Ended up just using rinetd for the udp connections. Ubuntu doesn't include the latest version here https://github.com/samhocevar/rinetd which is able to do UDP connections. The docker container RxBrad suggested uses that version within the docker container to make the redirections so it will be roughly equivalent.
