@linux I just switched from windows 10 to Ubuntu Studio last Saturday, just wrapped up the transition yesterday. I love Linux. It is how a computer should be. I lost access to my audio interface, Keyscape VST and Valorant, but I have gained so much more. The Terminal is so much better than Windows neutered offering
If those are Windows things you’ve got Wine that might work, or running full blown Windows in a virtual machine. You have all the options now.
Valorant uses a kernel-level anti-cheat, so most likely will never work with Linux
@cheer @db2 yeah that is what I’ve been hearing, thankfully I can sell the account and make some change
Wine almost certainly won’t work for an audio interface. A lot of them use kernel drivers. When I got an M2 Mac, my audio interface didn’t work. The driver was apparently written in x86 assembly. It actually has tons of issues on ryzen CPUs as well.
After getting my M2 Mac, I upgraded to a more modern interface that doesn’t use those types of drivers, so it’s far more portable.
I don’t have a lot of experience with wine, and the experience that I have is a few years old at this point. But doesn’t it have limited compatibility with USB devices? Some audio interface are PCIe cards, but I think the vast majority are USB interfaces. That might make it complicated.
In that case I’d go for a VM, it’s chunkier but more complete than Wine will ever be.
@db2 keyscape does not run in wine, install window does not show, I wish it did though.
Just curious, how are you trying to install it?
@db2 keyscape? There is an installer online I downloaded, I have USB sticks as well, but have not tried them, wine is installed, runs well for everything else
I mean how are you trying to install it with wine? Like just double clicking the exe, doing it via commandline, using the wine settings installer gui, etc?
@db2 audio interface I’m at peace with selling, keyscape is a bit of a bummer, would like to keep that most of all. The install window foes not appear via wine, it is either invisible or absent
@db2 I may run a virtual machine for valorant, but it seems their cheat detection software is not so kind to that
