piracy is not that deep… the OS doesn't really matter in this case as what you're concerned about is the ISP, not anything in your own PC. if you don't have a VPN, your ISP could send letters bugging you for downloading stuff. you'd probably have to get dozens of letters before the ISP would cancel your service.

just get a VPN for $5/month and you don't have to worry about it.

from the lemmy git repository:

Why's it called Lemmy?

  • Lead singer from Motörhead.
  • The old school video game.
  • The Koopa from Super Mario.
  • The furry rodents.

Lemmygrad is a pun off of Leningrad because it's a communist instance

Soulseek is far better than torrenting for music.

I would highly recommend using a Wine manager program such as PlayOnLinux. You can have each program in its own virtual drive and can use different wine versions and tweaks for each program. It'll manage the wine versions in the app so you don't have to install it systemwide.

Also check out https://appdb.winehq.org and https://protondb.com for compatibility, tweaks, etc. for each program.

hmm, not sure… i've heard it referred to as "wined3d"? when i had a non-vulkan card it usually wouldn't try to run vulkan so i didn't have to mess with it. what result does disabling dxvk have?

in steam you can put PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 in the launch options, but this doesn't help for non-steam games

Yes, directx to opengl (included in WINE) was used exclusively for a very long time before dxvk and vk-d3d came out just a few years ago. for older games you should be good to go, before i had a vulkan-capable card i ran all kinds of older games, usually without having to tweak anything. in a few games i had to change a game setting to use D3D9 instead of 11.

The version you linked on github is FOSS but it is out of date— newer versions on the play store are proprietary. Organic Maps is a continuation of the FOSS version by the original developers.
