If you decide to ditch Bazzite, try either Garuda or EndeavourOS. They're both Arch-based, which is not something I'd recommend for a beginner, but the rolling release will ensure that you always have the latest software.
I've found some more workarounds for a similar scrolling-related HID++ issue: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216885#c52 (I know I used dash instead of underscore in the module names, it shouldn't matter since they're automatically converted)

Hmm... this might break the OS completely, but you could delete the module's binary files. Can't load it if it doesn't exist in the first place.
Run find /lib/modules -iname '*hidpp*'
and move the files it found to a location where you can recover them later if needed, then reboot.

From Wiktionary (I'm not posting a link, look it up yourself):
There have been efforts by those of African descent to reclaim the word (especially in the form n___a), but these efforts are controversial and some people do not believe it is able to be reclaimed due to its fraught history and continued derogatory usage. Regardless, usage by non-blacks is still almost invariably considered highly racist and offensive.

I've done my tests, and it looks like I may have been incorrect.
Point 1. While I was right to suspect the :
character, I discovered that it is permitted in NTFS and only reserved in Windows. When an NTFS volume is mounted in Linux, it only becomes a problem if the windows_names
option is used. Sometimes it is used, sometimes it isn't, and I don't know when.
Point 2. The other thing I found is that Wine only works if the wineprefix is owned by the user. NTFS doesn't understand Unix-style file ownership and permissions, so it must determine the uid, gid, and umask when the volume is mounted. When mounted with OP's fstab entry, it will default to root, so every file (including the wineprefixes) within the volume will appear as being owned by root, which prevents Wine from starting.
This might also explain why mounting the drive dynamically worked, as it probably used udisks2
to mount it as the user.
The solution may be as simple as specifying the uid
and gid
mount options. In a system with a single user, they should both be 1000, but you can check them by running echo $UID $GID
.
The modified fstab entry should be:
UUID=E01A2CEC1A2CC180 /mnt/games ntfs nofail,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 3
This will present all files as being owned by the user, and should allow wine to run.
Point 3. That being said, mixing Windows and Linux is still not a good idea. I don't know what will happen if you create wineprefixes on NTFS. Windows might see the invalid filenames and shit itself. I tried doing it on a new NTFS volume and Windows wouldn't even mount it.
If you really want to keep the game files on the NTFS volume, you might have better luck trying your own symlink fuckery. If you have the Steam library on the NTFS device, you could try moving the .../SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata
directory to a Linux filesystem, then creating a symlink in compatdata
's place that points to the moved directory. This method moves the problematic files outside the volume.
The second method involves bringing the game files on the NTFS volume into the default Steam library on the Linux filesystem using a bind mount -- a way to mount a directory at a different mount point. In essence, this replaces the .../steamapps/common
directory with that on the NTFS volume, and avoids creating wineprefixes inside the NTFS filesystem in the first place.
- Mount the NTFS volume using the fstab entry above.
- Assuming that you have the Steam stuff in their default locations, execute
sudo mount --bind /mnt/games/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common
to create the bind mount manually. - Or use the equivalent fstab entry:
/mnt/games/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common /home/salty/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common none defaults,bind 0 0

Not really, because some files in the wineprefix will have invalid names.
When an NTFS volume is mounted, it implicitly uses the windows_names
option, which restricts the character set that can be used in filenames, in order to preserve compatibility with Windows. The specific character in question is the colon -- it is permitted by NTFS, but it's a reserved character in Windows, which means it is also restricted by the windows_names
mount option. This prevents Wine from creating its c:
and z:
symlinks, which are required for Wine to operate.
You could try some symlink fuckery, like linking .../steamapps/common
to the NTFS drive, since all of the problematic files are located outside of that, in .../steamapps/compatdata
. Or you could mount the NTFS volume directly to the common
directory. If you do, I'd love to hear the results.

NTFS doesn’t support symlinks
It does. You can create them on Windows using the mklink
command. It creates a file link if no switch is passed, directory link with /D
, directory junction (different thing) with /J
, and hardlink with /H
. The ntfs-3g
driver has complete support for links.
Some Windows programs, like the Scoop package manager, make extensive use of symlinks and directory junctions.

I recently switched from wireless to wired headphones (Samson SR-850, probably the best for the very reasonable price) and my chair's wheels instantly started eating its cable. Right now I'm using a small plastic hook that came with a face mask to keep it off the floor, but I'd like to hear other solutions.
I use this in Hyprland to quickly switch between the headphone jack and a USB wireless dongle. Executing the script will show a dialog that lists all available audio sinks, with the active sink selected. It requires `pulseaudio` or `pipewire-pulse` for the `pactl` program, and `kdialog` for the dialog.

I think Starfield's main menu is neat. So I made it into a desktop widget. Files (including the stylized logo) [here](https://github.com/gabor-motko/eww-starfield), wallpaper [here](https://imgur.com/a/zKAaDAm).

I recently discovered that you can paste image data from your clipboard to a post or comment field, and it will upload the data and generate an embed link. I assume, since the clipboard is ephemeral, that the data is uploaded and stored on the server immediately. What happens then if the embed link is removed and never used, but the file isn't deleted by the user? Does it just sit around in storage, collecting dust and taking up space, or is there some sort of garbage collection that detects unused files? What happens to embedded files if the post/comment where it is embedded gets deleted?

The layout is a custom master-stack implementation, the groupbox widget is an almost complete reimplementation to support a more flexible styling on multihead systems, the Nvidia GPU monitor widget is completely my own, there are popups and context menus out the ass, and there is a persistence module that saves dynamic data (like layouts and group names) between sessions. Tomorrow I'm moving to Wayland and I might not have the patience to get Qtile running again.
I originally meant to ask if having `/home` on a different partition or separate physical device was still warranted, but my ignorance in this matter slowly became apparent. This is my current setup: - `sda` is a 240G SATA SSD that only contains the ESP and the root partition. - `sdb` is a 1T SATA SSD entirely dedicated to games and virtual machines. - `sdc` is a 3T SATA spinning rust disk mounted on `/home`, with a 0.5T partition for Timeshift backups. I recently bought a 2T M.2 NVMe SSD. I'd like to retire `sda` and `sdc` (i.e. put them in my junk NAS/backup server), and then reinstall the OS on the new NVMe. My ideas for the new setup: - I use the entire NVMe drive for ESP and root, no separate `/home` partition, and mount the 1T SSD as before. - I use the entire NVMe for ESP and root, move the games and VMs to the root, and use the 1T SSD as the `/home` partition. - ESP, ~100-200G root partition, and separate `/home` partition on the NVMe; games stay on the separate SSD. The advantages of having `/home` on a separate device are not lost on me. My question is whether the added complexity is still worth it. I would also like to use LUKS encryption, which I understand to be partition-wide - in which case I'd like to know if there is any significant overhead if I encrypt the root partition. I'm also not opposed to using LVM, but that seems like a little too much for a desktop PC.
