Last time I tried to use Arch for gaming I ran into constant issues like what you describe. Almost like it wasn't using the correct graphics drivers for the games even though I could verify it was. I never could quite figure it out.

If you're not against distro hopping, I suggest switching to Bazzite or Nobara. Plain old Fedora is usually fine too if you're not using an Nvidia GPU or don't mind futzing around with RPMFusion, but the extra utilities and tweaks provided in Nobara and Bazzite are really nice.

That driver tends to work decently, but the performance on windows can be a bit iffy, especially for games like Skyrim because of how the content archives work iirc.

I also ran into a bug where one specific program (Aseprite) wouldn't save files correctly on winbtrfs and instead padded them with zeroes to a full 4KB or whatever, which didn't happen on any other filesystem.

WinBTRFS is cool, but treat it as somewhat experimental just in case. Back your stuff up.

I'm so sad that he never went anywhere else with this himself, at least publically. Looks like there's at least one team in Norway trying to take this concept to market though, hopefully they're successful

Why not just do this actually legit with PS1 and Saturn games

"we chose the name because of..."

Nah they just wanted an excuse to not use UWU, since this was originally Universal Wine Launcher iirc

I wouldn't call it a japanese accent, that's a bit different, but ルール is the loan word for rule, approximated with japanese syllabary of course. So it's ru-ru instead of rool. The r is also kinda rolled like a Spanish R, between and R and L sounds.

A japanese accent tends to have awkward stress-accent as well as R and L sounding too similar if not identical, and some general phonemes just not sounding quite right since japanese doesn't have them (the ae sound for instance). Words that end in consonants can be tricky too, but japanese has a few in very casual speech (mostly by just leaving off the u in tsu) so that concept isn't so foreign.

I love the content on thingiverse, but the website itself, the search, the loading speed, just so much about it is awful. Printables by prusa is leagues better

Could be a bug in their crash handler, just like, infinitely looping and printing something over and over.

Pseudoregalia was fantastic

Also if an update gets completely borked while installing (i.e. you lost power), then it just boots into the version you were running previously thanks to the A/B update scheme. It's neat.

Either that, or they use specific tools that they can't or won't replace and which don't work on Linux. Usually it's creative or engineering software. There are usually good, Linux compatible, open source alternatives, but they're not the same as industry standard tools that they need to know how to use and be 100% compatible with. Windows or MacOS is your only safe bet there.

If you're a mere hobbyist and interested in learning new tools it's an entirely different answer. You can try out the windows versions of the alternative software first, then try switching to Linux down the line when see the greener grass.

Supposedly it's actually pretty decent if you just turn off all of the quest markers and whatnot in the settings. Turns it into more of an immersive story driven exploration game instead of an Ubisoft clear the map checkbox game.
