So I recently installed Ubuntu Mate 16.04.01 and wanted to see how much things have improved since the last time I tried to get osu running on Linux (which has been quite over a year ago, before this guide has even existed) and I'm honestly quite impressed by how well it runs on CE
I followed the guide closely except for the low-latency audio part which to be honest a) did not work as it, at some point, always threw missing file errors at me and b) I could set the global offset to -20 and have the timing always be on point (guess I have to mention that I use a Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Audio soundcard)
Aside from that, everything works great, with the nouveau drivers shipped with the distro (note : running a 650Ti) which give me constant full framerates that only dip down to 58 while recording with OBS (using a shitty preset tbh) aswell as the proprietary nvoodia drivers shipped with the distro aswell (361.42, didn't bother to install the newest one yet) which lets run osu at full speed at all times.
Also, the guide to setup the osu tablet works perfectly to setup my old trusty Trust Stylus Design Tablet to make it use almost the exact same area as in windows (with quite a lot of guessing work of course)
The only issues I have seen so far are the main menu screen music controls not being present at all and the editor menu being completely black, although not unusable
I consider recording some footage and posting it here to show how well it runs but I haven't played properly in ages
Edit: well, here it is
I kinda realised during the play that my area still wasn't the way I wanted it (but HELL YEAH the cursor feels WAY more responsive than in Windows)
Also, A/V seem kinda async but apart from that (and the still not so great OBS settings) there is a video of a perfectly running osu! client on Ubuntu Mate 16.04.01
