Running games through Steam's Proton is great. But what if there is a secondary exe or configuration application bundled with the game? How can you launch it if Steam itself only launches the game?
Simply run this command in a terminal:
cd /path/to/steam/steamapps/compatdata/20920/pfx
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/path/to/steam/steamapps/compatdata/20920" WINEPREFIX=$PWD \
"$HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0/proton" run ./drive_c/path/to/custom_application.exe
Through the AUR it is possible to install older and newer PHP versions, simultaneously on the same system. I often had trouble installing using pacman and pamac so here's what I did:
mkdir -p $HOME/bin
mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/php81.git
cd php81
It's really quite simple!
Simply go to https://www.gog.com/game/the_witcher_3_wild_hunt_game_of_the_year_edition (this should also work with the regular edition) and buy and add the game to your library.
Do NOT click "Download and Install" at this point. We will do this through Lutris.
BackBlaze offers data backup to the cloud for just a few cents per gigabyte. So, when I had almost reached my 100 GB limit on Google Photos (Google One), I decided to tranfer it all to a local 4 TB hard drive and then put a second backup into the cloud for long term storage.
The process was not that easy, so if you have any better advice please let me know. Here is what I did:
I had about 65 GB of photos and videos on Google Photos I wanted to download, spanning thousands of files and multiple years. It would take far too long to do it in the browser so I went to Google Takeout in hopes it would be faster.
So you've been playing on your RG351M, but you have noticed that the D-Pad diagonals are a bit tough to press? In some action games you have an advantage if you can quickly adjust direction from down, right-down, right in a quick and effortless fashion (Street Fighter, Zelda, side scrolling shooters, etc). You've come to the right place.
This guide will help you modify the D-Pad so that pressing the 8 directions is much easier!
In this guide we go over all the components you need to play on a PlayStation 5 console, nearly ANY game, with a Keyboard and Mouse. In my experience with my PlayStation on wired ethernet and my Phone on 5 Ghz WiFi I saw almost no lag (later I'll explain why this technique effectively cuts any latency in half versus using Remote Play normally). You probably already have all these parts at home, except the GIMX adapter and maybe the OTG USB Hub.

This guide instructs you how to:
Find yourself repeatedly opening new tabs and splitting consoles every time you restart your machine? I made a shell script (and a json file) to set up Konsole exactly how I want it just by running a single command (also linked with a Desktop shortcut).
First create a file called tab.layout.json and store it in $HOME.
