Also happy to report forcing Proton on Distance works. Even though this game has a native client, 2 highly requested features were missing from the Linux build: Boombox mode and Custom music.
Both work when forcing Proton and using the experimental build!
To load music from your home directory, type “Z:/home/(username)/Music” in the folder name entry for the custom music option.
Only minor gripe is force feedback is slightly off, but it’s a good compromise for boombox mode and custom music!
Looks like NVIDIA has screwed up in not releasing authorization locks on the recent 418.42.02 Vulkan drivers, meaning nobody can get them, not even people who are “logged in.”
Here’s the link for 418.31.03 for those searching for it:
Edit: and of course when I give this helpful link on Reddit, I get beriddled (BY OTHER SYSADMINS MIND YOU) as “Why the fuck are you using BETA drivers, you dumbass?”
Just tested NVIDIA FreeSync on Openbox + LXQt and it’s not fun… VERY MUCH not fun.
Screen blanking is very apparent when you use a 3D program on Openbox with LXQt doing FreeSync, so avoid using Openbox for FreeSync as there are way too many problems with screen blanking.
You can make it work, but I prefer a desktop GTX 1070 equivalent in terms of performance. RTX 2070 Max-Q gets close for the thin form factor I’m looking for.
