do you work with unity on linux?

trim cape
leaden forge
#

which distro

trim cape
#

only laptop i had wouldnt run windows

trim cape
#

tho am getting gentoo on a new system

#

so far i got the window manager working-ish

leaden forge
#

took me forever to figure out how to download unity on arch

#

it was painful

trim cape
#

*whooshing hands*

leaden forge
#

is that unity?

trim cape
leaden forge
#

if so that is very blank

trim cape
#

fresh after compiling sway (i3 for wayland)

leaden forge
#

very cool for new users

trim cape
#

havent setup the config yet so no background or nothing

#

only the "error: invalid config" line on the top

trim cape
#

i tried getting it through yay

#

that didnt work

#

i tried getting it through a download

#

that didnt work

leaden forge
#

I just got the download from a official forum

trim cape
#

eventually realized i had to run the package as root, install the editor, then copy the files over out of a root dir

#

because it kept trying to install in i think tmp

leaden forge
#

which somehow downloaded unity hub 3.10.0

trim cape
#

dont rember

leaden forge
#

I run 2022

trim cape
#

👌

leaden forge
#

I switched to arch like 1-2 days ago so I'm learning the ropes

#

from windows mind you

trim cape
trim cape
#

straight to the adult pool

#

i went from windows, to ubuntu, to manjaro, to now gentoo

leaden forge
#

so far it is going well, I had to learn quick lmao

#

I didn't even know how to install things

trim cape
#

tbh manjaro wasnt that big a stepup over ubuntu

#

only mildly eh part was figuring out how i3 works

leaden forge
trim cape
#

cuz im a big boy and i dont use baby interfaces like kde plEHHHsma

leaden forge
#

I use kde

#

lol

trim cape
leaden forge
#

bro when I first came over, I was so confused on how to get the internet to work

trim cape
#

i cannot go back to windows search when i can ls -R | grep "main.py"

trim cape
#

tho on gentoo

#

ubuntu and manjaro handled it for me

#

tho ubuntu had the minor hiccup of "internet is suddenly broken have fun fixing it"

leaden forge
#

rip

trim cape
#

tho a reboot helped

leaden forge
#

"did you turn it off and back on again?"

trim cape
#

for gentoo the install usb had a net-setup script which did everything for me

#

except it didnt persist through reboots and if you chrooted into your laptop (instead of sitting in your usb userspace) without using it you're now stuck without internet

#

did eventually figure out the dark arts of "download networkmanager" tho

leaden forge
#

I had to look up a tutorial because the documentation for arch is wack

#

networkmanager is amazing

trim cape
#

it is

leaden forge
#

all I had to do was turn it on

#

and there it was, internet

trim cape
#

do have to copy the network handle over manually tho

#

e h

trim cape
#

do you use systemd or openrc

leaden forge
#

systemd I think

#

is that bad?

trim cape
#

aig cool

trim cape
#

im not knowledgable enough to form an opinion myself

#

all i've heard is "uhhhh it doesnt follow the standard exactly"

leaden forge
#

arch seems to be working well so far, the gaming part of linux is what I have to get used too

#

definitely more bugs in linux

trim cape
#

steam at least makes it way easier

#

check a compat box and you're set

leaden forge
#

yeah proton seems good

trim cape
#

beyond that wine seems to work more often than not

#

generally

#

COUGH COUGH THE FUCKING GAME ENGINE THAT STILL RUNS ON IE11

leaden forge
#

I heard bottles is good
