Hmm, you could try using scopebuddy, which comes included with Bazzite. You can include any config options in there if you want, but specifically it supports options for automatically configuring width and height, and you can add more arguments as well. Final command here might look like:

scb --force-grab-cursor %command%

I also use a lot of custom configs, for example I’m tinkering with Wayland atm, but keep a gamescope config I use like this:

SCB_CONF="gamescope.conf" scb %command%

The shorter syntax is really nice, and it’s nice to be able to tweak a bunch of global options like PROTON_WAYLAND and PROTON_ENABLE_HDR without having to manage huge commands in Steam.

Wow, what a mess. Personally, I’m fine with this degree of telemetry, trying to understand how many people are using your app has obvious value and isn’t a huge concern for me compared to what telemetry usually refers to. This feels like a bit of a “mountain out of a molehill” where the overwhelming quantity of feedback has aggravated the primary dev into being very jaded about the whole topic. I assume he got a lot more flack for this than is still preserved in this thread.

The big thing about Bruno is that nothing is synced to the cloud, so I can use it without worrying about it being a security risk. In addition to being pretty great, and letting me easily distribute a collection in a git repository. For that, it definitely still earns my support as a good tool, whether I’m logged as a “daily active user” or not.

Still, hopefully the main version does get that opt out added, mostly just to remove the black mark from its name and to be properly GDPR compliant.

What you’re looking for is called “Wabbajack”. It’s a pretty impressive system, because it actually pulls all the mods from their official nexus mods source, rather than requiring you get permission from every mod you want to include to be compiled into some new package that then has to be maintained and updated whenever anything updates.

It’s like setting up a full-blown, fully tweaked modlist in a single click. Really impressive solution to navigating a lot of the thorniness that would come from redistributing other people’s work in a “traditional” modpack.

Interesting, I’ve never heard of that one! Might be worth some research as well

Only recently moved over to Linux, is SuperTuxKart actually… good? Like, me and my wife have put tons of hours into modded Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the physics are really fun, the accessibility options are good enough that she can reasonably keep up with me, and the graphics are super appealing. Is Tux Kart worth my time to look into? Does it have a chance of appealing to my very casual wife?

The problem isn’t the tech itself. Getting a pretty darn clean 4k output from 1080p or 1440p, at a small static frametime cost is amazing.

The problem is that the tech has been abused as permission to slack on optimization, or used in contexts where there just isn’t enough data for a clean picture, like in upscaling to 1080p or less. Used properly, on a well optimized title, this stuff is an incredible proposition for the end user, and I’m excited to see it keep improving.
