Guide is maybe not the right word lol, it just exactly what I click to set up the majority of my games
I’m not 100% sure, but from my understanding yes the regisrty in the “prefix” folder would be changed. You can manually edit the wine prefix registry with regedit https://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guid<br />e/using-regedit and Lutris supports this, just click the arrow that brings up the winetricks option and its under Wine Registry
I use Lutris and set up my directories a “GameName” and then 2 subdirectories “game” “prefix” and point Lutris to these.
All of the game files go in “game” and the prefix is created in “prefix” when I press play in Lutris. Any extras dlls that are needed can be installed with winetricks within Lutris to that specific prefix
This way you can just compress and decompress “GameName” folder and point Lutris to these locations on whichever machine.
You can choose which prefix version you want in Lutris and it will download that version for you. I’m pretty sure it saves the version to somewhere in ~.local/share/lutris I’m not at my PC now so not 100% sure of the path.
It saves it to ~.local/share/lutris/runners/wine and you can put a custom wine build here and Lutris should recognise it when configuring the runner options
So you could copy this over to the corresponding location on the deck and Lutris will automatically detect this version as installed and won’t have to download it again but its not necessary unless you don’t have internet on the deck, or you’re like me and want to keep an archive of the working prefix for the future in case the prefix version is no longer available for whatever reason and other version just won’t work.
If you’re new to Lutris, I wrote a step by step guide on how I use Lutris on a different community
I see the Extend part of Embrace Extend Extinguish is about to start…
I’ve never used miui devices but I think you need to make an account and use this https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html so you will probably need to have wine installed to run it, unless it has a native linux version in the zip file. Then you should have an unlocked bootloader
Don’t forget about this
Maybe not exactly what you’re looking for but I found this a few weeks ago https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx and I haven’t really seen anyone talk about it
I’ve been using the tts on android for navigation and its way better than rhvoice and espeak.
I did try stt on android and it worked great but I’ve never used stt before so I don’t know how good it is compared to other stt
Unfortunately Linux is affected https://github.com/leviathansecurity/TunnelVision
TunnelVision appears to work on any operating system that has a DHCP client that implements support for DHCP option 121. Most modern operating systems support this such as Linux, Windows, iOS and MacOS. Notably, Android does not appear to have support for option 121 and remains unaffected.
A fix is available on Linux when configuring the VPN users host to utilize network namespaces.
I read the Arstechnica article too where they say Linux isn’t affected then link to the researchers video where they show Linux being affected…

Check under Display Configuration, its at the top of the list where Gamma is in your screenshot. I’m also using Wayland, so maybe its not available for X11?
Edit: The archwiki might be more helpful, it shows how to access the settings depending on your set up https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate
If your screen is turning black when you go full screen, try turning Adaptive Sync to Never. This has solved the problem for me.
System Settings -> Display & Monitor -> Adaptive Sync
Just a completely blank screen atm, I updated to plasma 6 and it has not been going well lol
Thank you for putting this together, this is great!
Mull is my go to browser, based on Firefox with proprietary blobs removed and since its Firefox uBlock Origin can be installed
Mulch is chromium based for when websites ~ break ~ with Mull. Both are by the same Dev that makes DivestOS
I’m not really sure what is meant by utilities but these are some apps that I utilise pretty much every day
URLCheck for easily removing tracking from URLs either manually or automatically
Bitwarden is my go to password manager, you can add their repo to your fdroid client to get auto updates
Aegis for 2FA with easy backup and restore to and from files and supports importing files from so many other 2FA clients
Insular utilises the work profile to separate out apps. Some people in my life still use WhatsApp so I have a whole profile just for it, I can’t wait for the DMA to fully kick in so I can get rid of WhatsApp
Librera opens all of my documents for me and I can choose between scroller mode for PDF type stuff or reader mode for ebooks. It also has amoled black which I love.
QbitController to easily manage all of my qbittorrent instances. It also automatically opens magnet links I tap on so I can add them to one of my instances easily
RHVoice TTS that integrates with OSMand, I find I have better voice results with this compared to espeak
Syncthing Fork to auto sync folders on my phone, PC and NAS
Termux terminal emulator I use for SSH, it also runs Zotify and YT-DLP
KDE Connect for controlling my cursor on my PC, quickly sharing files to and from my PC and for seamlessly sharing clipboards between them
Showly OSS Integrates with trakt(.)tv to keep track of shows and also has a discover tab for TV and movies
Unexpected Keyboard I missed the keyboard discussion so I’m going to mention it here. It supports function keys! So I can use htop in SSH to kill processes on my PC when I break something and my screen freezes
https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps
It is compiled from source and proprietary blobs are removed using scripts by Relan from here.
I’m not very familiar with pipewire, I’ve always just been able to plug and play with any headphones but you can try runnning
Journalctl -r
After your next reboot to see the most recent system logs and check for any errors with pipewire
I think you can also run
Sudo systemctl status pipewire.service
After you reboot to make sure that it is enabled by default, if its not you should be able to run
Sudo systemctl enable --now pipewire.service

Does windows give you just under 100C when you’re just browsing the web or watching videos??
If so then your thermal set up is not working properly. You should check to make sure you’ve got thermal paste on your CPU and the cooler is mounted properly and making good contact. Also some people may accidentally leave the clear plastic sticker on the cooler where it makes contact with the CPU.
I’ve never water cooled so I can’t give advice there.
The 8700k is rated for a max temperature of 100C so it shouldn’t really be anywhere near that at idle. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/126684/intel-core-i7-8700k-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-70-ghz.html
For context my 7900x is at about 40C at idle and I don’t think I’ve seen it go over 75C under load.
CPUs thermal throttle as they reach their maximum rated tempuratures which would explain why everything is running slower.

https://github.com/zotify-dev/zotify its python not bash but may be helpful, also it downloads the files from Spotify instead of YouTube.
I know it checks the playlist folder to see if its already downloaded each song but I’m not sure if it checks other folders too, but it should be easy enough to edit yourself to make it do that.
The issue with this is the difference between GB (1,000,000,000 bytes) and GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes) https://massive.io/file-transfer/gb-vs-gib-whats-the-difference/
HDD manufacturers use GB, which is a metric measurement, because its better for marketing while computers use GiB, which is a binary measurement. So people think they’re buying 15GiB but in reality they’re buying 13.5GiB marketed as 15GB
I’ve run into issues where a game will work with a specific version of wine but then not work with a newer version but then other games that don’t work with the older version, work with the new one.
Theres also potentially issues of dependencies for one game breaking another game. Separate prefixes just make it easier to troubleshoot a game not working since you can just install/uninstall whatever dependencies that it might need without worrying about messing up other games.
Its also just easier to delete the entire prefix when you realise you’ve installed too many useless dlls and you’ve finally found the one thing you do need to make the game work lol
I also like to archive games I like since companies can just decide to remove their games from existence whenever they want. So I just add the separate prefix that has any extra dlls or tweaks to the archive so that the game should still work in 3 years without having to try and download dependencies that may not be as easy to find in the future
But if you don’t have issues I don’t think its a big deal and if you do have issues with a game, you can just make a separate one for that anyway.
