NVIDIA GeForce NOW adds Chromebook support, so you can run it on Linux too
30 Aug 2020 at 9:38 am UTC

Yes, Agent Switcher icon displayed the letters "COS".

I tried the alternative solution. I disabled agent switcher to rule out any interferences, changed to Chrome OS and... nothing. Still get the "unsupported device" page.

I'm not using chrome on daily basis so the browser was in default state, no other plugins then agent switcher, so this couldn't be some plugin interference either.
I'm using Manjaro testing branch, everything is up to date, so I can't suspect obsolete packages too.
It has to be something else, but what? Next logical step would be to try different browser, for example Vivaldi and... BINGO! User agent worked this time. I did exactly the same on Chrome and it didn't work, on other chrome based browser, all works... Strange!

How to make the user agent working? There are required fields:

Append? Replace/Append - which one to choose?
Indicator flag - what should be put there? I tried S7, but not sure if that will work.

Now when the option is saved, how to activate it? So far it still says that device isn't supported so either I use wrong parameters or didn't activate it, or both.

This is frustrating, because only half of the info is given here, so this is basically useless :(

Sorting the mess of vendor specific lighting apps, OpenRGB has a new release
24 Jul 2020 at 11:18 pm UTC Likes: 1

I wanted to try it on my Alienware because no other tool worked (aside Window native app), but reading the documentation, using it may be dangerous to the motherboard. So far only Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0 boards have been reported to have issues, but there is no word about Alienwares, so the unknown is there, the risk is there.
I'll wait and hope there will be more data about it in the feature.

Worms Armageddon gets a 21 year update, should work better with Wine and Proton

How to get it? Is it already in Steam? Last time I tried Worms Armageddon it worked but there were several problems with windows and resolutions, so the experience was not ideal.

Help GamingOnLinux beat Coronavirus, join us on Folding@home

Thanks, I installed the software, added gamingonlinux team ID and the process is running :).

Quoting: on_en_a_grosI just tried to install it on manjaro, but the commamd "FAHClient --configure" returned me "command not found". Any idea on what aI'm doing wrong?
I'm also on Manjaro. Here is what I did:

1. I installed from AUR: foldingathome-noroot, fahcontrol (GUI), pygtk (dependency), fahviewer (then your 'Viewer' button will work)
2. Issued those commands:
su
useradd --system -s /sbin/nologin -m -d /var/lib/fah --user-group fah

systemctl edit foldingathome.service

[Service]
User=fah
Group=fah
WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/fah
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/opt/fah/FAHClient --config /var/lib/fah/config.xml --exec-directory=/opt/fah --data-directory=/var/lib/fah


cd /opt/fah
./FAHClient --configure


ser name [Anonymous]: name
Team number [0]: 245680
Passkey (can be empty):
Enable SMP [true]: true
Enable GPU [true]: false
Name of configuration file [config.xml]: config.xml


cp /opt/fah/config.xml /var/lib/fah/config.xml
systemctl start foldingathome.service


You can check status with:

systemctl status foldingathome.service

and by running FAHControl GUI app.

So far, I'm not enabling the daemon and start it manually.

I edited and posted this as a guide:

Some early first impressions of Google Stadia played on Linux
22 Nov 2019 at 9:52 pm UTC

How did they make Destiny 2 run if protondb shows it as borked? Everyone says that Stadia is on Linux but it looks like there are only Linux servers. The game is somehow streamed from Windows or am I missing something?

Our Wine release day puns are always in pour taste so none today for Wine 4.19

Proton releases like to skip many wine versions: 3.7->3.16->4.2->4.11 so do not worry, they have a nice development pace. I'm curious about which wine version we get net. Any guesses?

Boxtron, the Steam Play compatibility tool for DOSBox brings more improvements in another update
29 Oct 2019 at 10:09 pm UTC

How do I know that a certain game is better to run with Boxtron? Is there some indicators that suggest us to check a specific title on some list?

The handy NVIDIA Optimus GPU switcher just added support for more Linux desktops
14 Sep 2019 at 11:52 am UTC

Since this won't work on Arch systems, I posted the idea to the optimus-manager developer so maybe he will implement something similar there?
