Welcome to hell.

Coming from heaven with an update e.e
First things first: what all these crashes have in common (besides System.AccessViolationException) is OSSOCK.select, and as I've read on ThePoon's ds (ty openglfreak) this socket code crash has been fixed in the latest Wine 7.0-rc3. Therefore I built it with gonX's patches and it seems to work like a charm xD

Replacing it is really easy:
Delete your current wine-osu version:

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Then download the latest wine-osu here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YOMPZbgRTCR9j-9v9jREpDfkF3zOfaqy/view?usp=sharing

And just install it with the same commands as the guide:

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0_staging-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

Doing this should fix those crashes while playing, just let me know if it really works as I've never gotten many of them xD

For Mint/Ubuntu users with GLIBC error using the other package:

hwsnemo has already updated the wine-osu package to 7.0-rc3 so updating your system should do the thing (or just do all the steps in the box again).

so what version of pipewire that is the most stable?

EDIT: i use pipewire 0.3.40

I’d stay on 0.3.40 for a while as latest version broke my OBS somehow lmao

Also, I've heard that pipewire is not necessary as the +25ms delay does the job even for pulse. Is this true? I really can't upgrade to PipeWire as 1 crucial thing i depend on (Viper4Linux) does not work properly under pipewire even with all the tweaks about audio underflow etc.

Turning on audio compatibility mode fixes the issue for me.

It started happening suddenly even tho it worked fine for a while. Reinstalling didn't help the issue still occurs, and after reinstalling both the os and the game, japanese characters are shown as boxes and the game crashes randomly and with specific beatmaps, re-downloading the beatmaps seems to fix this issue tho i tested it on windows with the same files and it works fine. I followed all of the troubleshooting steps to no avail.

A little introduction:
osu! working fine on Linux has been a thing for many years now, especially thanks to ThePoon's patches and Franc[e]sco's guide, but thanks to PipeWire and to the latest custom builds it's actually even easier. Let's start 8^)

 sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

 sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"

 sudo dnf install wine

(if you're using other distros, give this a look https://www.gloriouseggroll.tv/how-to-get-out-of-wine-dependency-hell/)

also make sure you installed the right drivers for your gpu:
https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

Let's begin from Latency:

Latency: Installing Pipewire

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

To install Pipewire on Debian, just follow these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pipewire
sudo apt install libspa-0.2-bluetooth
sudo apt install pipewire-audio-client-libraries
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire-media-session.service pipewire pipewire-pulse

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

Remove PulseAudio:

sudo pacman -Rdd pulseaudio

And install PipeWire:

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa wireplumber

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Fedora:

Well, Fedora's latest versions already ship with Pipewire xD you might want to check doing this:

 sudo dnf install pulseaudio-utils

 pactl info

And if you see Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire) you're good to go.

After doing this, you should be already done with Pipewire

Now let's install osu! and set up our Wine:

Installing osu! (All distros)

To install osu!, we'll just use Forefront's package on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine). His package is the most stable one I've ever tried, so huge grats and credits to him e.e

Installing the game is just as simple as this:

git clone https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine

cd osu-wine

sudo ./install.sh

osu-wine

The game is now working, but we need to change the Wine version to an osu! specific one.
To do this, let's download the wine-osu 7.0 package with gonX's patches from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xgJIe18ccBx6yjPcmBxDbTnS1XxwrAcc/view?usp=sharing

Once you've done that, you need to extract the package.
You can do it like this: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Now let's copy the extracted folder to the /opt directory:

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

And let's edit the /etc/osu-wine.conf file:

sudo nano /etc/osu-wine.conf

Here, you need to uncomment the PATH line at the end, just like this:

## Path, DO NOT EDIT THIS VARIABLE, ONLY UNCOMMENT
PATH="/opt/wine-osu/bin:$PATH"

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Now use this last command to copy the .conf file:

cp /etc/osu-wine.conf ~/.osu-wine.conf

Last but not least: run this to fix drag and drop songs:

sudo wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Zu5vK-ACs1KhF4Rju1HAIIPb6XC42s9X' -O /usr/bin/osu-wine

The installation is now finished! You need just to open osu! and run it.

But before playing, the last thing you need to do is to set your universal offset to -25ms, so that your osu! will sound just like on Windows.



Warning: -25ms is what I generally recommend, but try to find your sweet spot from -40ms!

And you're done! You can now play osu!



Check the troubleshooting box if you need any help or just write me on Twitter (@MarshNello) [OS in the ss is Arch Linux GNOME]
And that's it! Enjoy playing osu! on your Linux!

Got any error? (GLIBC, Game not starting, input lag, random crashes etc.)
Check the box below:

Extra info and troubleshooting:

Open me \o/:

Game won't start/ntdll.so (GLIBC_2.32) error

This error actually occurs a lot when using Ubuntu or Debian-based distros. whose GLIBC isn't updated.
Before doing anything, upgrading your system might fix depending on your distro:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

If that didn't help, we will need to change some things xD

Assuming you've followed the guide until the end, let's delete wine-osu first.

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Let's now download another version, working on older GLIBCs as well.
Make sure curl is installed first:

sudo apt install curl

And now:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hwsnemo:/packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_hwsnemo_packaged-wine-osu.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine-osu

You can now play perfectly fine e.e

(Instructions might change depending on your distro, you can check yourself here:
https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahwsnemo%3Apackaged-wine-osu&package=wine-osu)

Input lag/Compositing

First of all, if you're gaming on Linux make sure to install all the necessary dependencies listed above (see Wine and dependencies)

Otherwise, what really affects input lag is desktop compositing, which is active by default on many desktop environments even when gaming.
If you're using Lutris to run osu!, you can disable it from the rule as you can see here:
(thanks TheKej for the reply below <3)


If you are not, check the other box for "How to add osu! to Lutris" xd

How to add osu! to Lutris

If you don't know what Lutris is, just google it and install it for your own system (it's really simple).

Now, if you're never used Lutris before, open it and then run this command:

cd ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/ && mkdir wine

This will create our wine folder; then, let's copy the Wine version we downloaded beforehand here as well:

sudo cp -r /opt/wine-osu/ ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine

Close Lutris and open it again.
Click on the + button you can find on the top left of your Lutris and just write osu! (or whatever you want) in the name. For the runner instead, just choose Wine (click yes to whatever pops up). It should look like this:



After this, go on the "Game options" box and just set it up like this:

Executable:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/osu!.exe

Working directory:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

Wine prefix:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/WINE.win32

Example:



Now let's go to the "Runner options" box and here select "wine-osu":



Last but not least, let's disable our desktop effects aka compositor in "System options" (enable advanced options):



And we're done! You can now run your osu! through Lutris as well!

osu! disappears/crashes randomly

These random crashes have been a thing for many people as they depended on a wine bug, and what those have in common (besides System.AccessViolationException) is OSSOCK.select. As I've read on ThePoon's ds (ty openglfreak), this socket code crash has been fixed in the latest Wine 7.0-rc3, and also listed in Wine 7.0-rc4's bug fixes.



So I built Wine 7.0-rc4 with gonX's patches and it seems to work like a charm xD

Replacing it is really easy:
Delete your current wine-osu version:

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Then download the latest wine-osu here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Ikp0x2vVPIy0wBcC2bPvTJSlaqCwfW9/view?usp=sharing

And just install it with the same commands as the guide:

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-rc4_staging-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

Doing this should fix those crashes while playing, just let me know if it really works as I've never gotten many of them xD

For Mint/Ubuntu users with GLIBC error using the other package:

hwsnemo has already updated the wine-osu package to 7.0-rc3 so updating your system should do the thing (or just do all the steps in the box again).

Optimize your performance: Gamemode

Gamemode is a tool which might improve your gaming depending on your system: to install it and try it, follow the instructions spunout enjoyer wrote here: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/1248084?n=61
(great job <3)

If you notice your games are actually running worse than before, just disable its rule on Lutris/don't use it when starting the game.

Even lower latency: gonX's PipeWire settings

If after installing osu! your latency sounds strange and you want an even lower one, we'll apply gonX's PipeWire "patch" (credits to him and don't forget to thank him for the help he always delivers with others on ThePoon's discord <3)

First of all, to prevent any missing files, run this command:

 mkdir -p ~/.config/pipewire && cp -rv /usr/share/pipewire/* ~/.config/pipewire/ 

After doing this, you just need to edit the pipewire-pulse.conf file in ~/.config/pipewire/
I'll do it with nano:

sudo nano ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf

Here, you might want to push your latency as far as possible: starting from 256, try to find the closest value to 32 which makes your sound stable/not cracking. It depends on your pc, there's not a "default" value xD
I'll use 32 as an example, so edit the file like this:

context.modules = {
    pulse.min.req = 32/48000              # 0.67ms
    pulse.min.quantum = 32/48000          # 0.67ms
}

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Reboot, and the patch is done e.e

Moving your songs/skins from Windows

First of all, make sure you installed the ntfs-3g package needed to read Windows partitions:

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

sudo apt install ntfs-3g

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

sudo pacman -Sy ntfs-3g

Fedora:

sudo dnf install ntfs-3g

Then, just copy the Skins and Songs folder to your Linux osu! folder, that you can find at:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

PP Counter for OBS: gosumemory

Gosumemory actually works perfectly with this osu! guide e.e
Let's start from downloading the latest release from GitHub (you obv need to download the Linux version): https://github.com/l3lackShark/gosumemory/releases/
I'll go with amd64 as my PC is 64bits.

Now let's extract the file in the gosumemory folder: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

 cd ~/Downloads && mkdir gosumemory

 unzip -q gosumemory_linux_amd64.zip -d ~/Downloads/gosumemory/

Let's now run gosumemory once with:

 cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory && chmod +x gosumemory

 sudo ./gosumemory

Ignore the error and edit this file:

 sudo nano ~/Downloads/gosumemory/config.ini

Here, you need to edit these 2 lines like this: (replace username with your own)

 wine = true 

 path = /home/username/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/Songs

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X.

Our gosumemory is now working, but let's create a script to launch it whenever we want:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/gosumemory

Here, just paste these commands:

 #!/bin/sh

cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory
sudo ./gosumemory

And now just launch this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gosumemory

And we're done! You can now launch gosumemory whenever you want by just typing:

 gosumemory

in your terminal! e.e

Last thing to do is: adding it to OBS.
Here, I reccommend y'all to use the Snap version of OBS (https://snapcraft.io/obs-studio) as it provides everything you might need for streaming.
Now open your osu!, launch gosumemory and then open your browser at this link: http://127.0.0.1:24050

Here you should see all the different overlays available: let's say I choose this one



You need to copy that link and paste in it OBS > Sources > Browser like this:



And you're done! PP Counter is finally working xD

Tablet drivers on Linux: OpenTabletDriver (+ Fedora install)

OpenTabletDriver is the perfect alternative to any tablet driver.
Follow its guide to install it:
https://opentabletdriver.net/Wiki/Install/Linux

Fedora isn't supported yet as of right now, so you need to compile it from source to actually use it. It's a bit long, but I wrote every step here e.e:

Fedora instructions

Compiling OTD from source

Let's start from dependencies: (most of them should be already installed)

 sudo dnf install libX11 libXrandr libevdev gtk3 bash

Let's now install .NET 6 SDK which isn't available in repositories yet xd
Follow these commands:

 cd && wget https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/17b6759f-1af0-41bc-ab12-209ba0377779/e8d02195dbf1434b940e0f05ae086453/dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz && mkdir dotnet

 tar zxf dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz -C dotnet/

 export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet

Last thing to do is to build OpenTabletDriver:

 git clone https://github.com/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.git && cd OpenTabletDriver/

 chmod +x build.sh

Now replace username with your own:

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./build.sh

 chmod +x generate-rules.sh

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./generate-rules.sh

 sudo mv ./bin/99-opentabletdriver.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Let's now create a script to launch OTD:

OTD Scripts

Let's start:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otd

Here, you need to paste this: (change username with your own)

 !/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk/bin/Release/net6.0/linux-x64
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk.dll "$@"

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otd

Let's now create a script to launch the OTD daemon:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otddaemon

Paste this: (change username with your own)

 #!/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
    if [[ ! -v DISPLAY ]] && [[ ! -v WAYLAND_DISPLAY ]]
    then
        echo "DISPLAY and/or WAYLAND_DISPLAY is not set"
        exit 64
    fi
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Daemon.dll -c ./Configurations
else
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Console.dll "$@"
fi

Now just run this:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otddaemon

Our two scripts are now finally set up; let's create the last one to launch both together:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

Here, just paste this:

 #!/bin/bash
otddaemon &
P1=$!
otd &
P2=$!
wait $P1 $P2

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

You're finally done! Launch OTD by typing:

 opentabletdriver

in your terminal e.e

Example:

osu! installer can't download files/XComposite error etc.

All these errors come from missing dependencies: make sure to install them all (see Wine and dependencies)

No sound when opening osu!

You probably only need to reboot or reload PipeWire by doing this:

sudo systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse
sudo systemctl --user daemon-reload

Turning on audio compatibility mode fixes the issue for me.

It started happening suddenly even tho it worked fine for a while. Reinstalling didn't help the issue still occurs, and after reinstalling both the os and the game, japanese characters are shown as boxes and the game crashes randomly and with specific beatmaps, re-downloading the beatmaps seems to fix this issue tho i tested it on windows with the same files and it works fine.

Dude you are a life saver. Works like a charm now.

Edit: all that's left is to figure out how to transfer my beatmaps and skins over to this device. Should be a piece of cake

This happens to me just today (things are fine yesterday even after two reboot and a system update) , turning on audio compatibility mode does solve the audio issue but whenever i tried to play a map or watch a replay, it will stuck and jitter on the first note then straight up crashing the game and shows the following error code

 sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

 sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"

 sudo dnf install wine

(if you're using other distros, give this a look https://www.gloriouseggroll.tv/how-to-get-out-of-wine-dependency-hell/)

also make sure you installed the right drivers for your gpu:
https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

Let's begin from Latency:

Latency: Installing Pipewire

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

To install Pipewire on Debian, just follow these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pipewire
sudo apt install libspa-0.2-bluetooth
sudo apt install pipewire-audio-client-libraries
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire-media-session.service pipewire pipewire-pulse

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

Remove PulseAudio:

sudo pacman -Rdd pulseaudio

And install PipeWire:

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa wireplumber

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Fedora:

Well, Fedora's latest versions already ship with Pipewire xD you might want to check doing this:

 sudo dnf install pulseaudio-utils

 pactl info

And if you see Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire) you're good to go.

After doing this, you should be already done with Pipewire

Now let's install osu! and set up our Wine:

Installing osu! (All distros)

To install osu!, we'll just use Forefront's package on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine). His package is the most stable one I've ever tried, so huge grats and credits to him e.e

Installing the game is just as simple as this:

git clone https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine

cd osu-wine

sudo ./install.sh

osu-wine

The game is now working, but we need to change the Wine version to an osu! specific one.
To do this, let's download the wine-osu 7.0 package with gonX's patches from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xgJIe18ccBx6yjPcmBxDbTnS1XxwrAcc/view?usp=sharing

Once you've done that, you need to extract the package.
You can do it like this: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Now let's copy the extracted folder to the /opt directory:

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

And let's edit the /etc/osu-wine.conf file:

sudo nano /etc/osu-wine.conf

Here, you need to uncomment the PATH line at the end, just like this:

## Path, DO NOT EDIT THIS VARIABLE, ONLY UNCOMMENT
PATH="/opt/wine-osu/bin:$PATH"

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Now use this last command to copy the .conf file:

cp /etc/osu-wine.conf ~/.osu-wine.conf

Last but not least: run this to fix drag and drop songs:

sudo wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Zu5vK-ACs1KhF4Rju1HAIIPb6XC42s9X' -O /usr/bin/osu-wine

The installation is now finished! You need just to open osu! and run it.

But before playing, the last thing you need to do is to set your universal offset to -25ms, so that your osu! will sound just like on Windows.



Warning: -25ms is what I generally recommend, but try to find your sweet spot from -40ms!

And you're done! You can now play osu!



Check the troubleshooting box if you need any help or just write me on Twitter (@MarshNello) [OS in the ss is Arch Linux GNOME]
And that's it! Enjoy playing osu! on your Linux!

Got any error? (GLIBC, Game not starting, input lag, random crashes etc.)
Check the box below:

Extra info and troubleshooting:

Open me \o/:

Game won't start/ntdll.so (GLIBC_2.32) error

This error actually occurs a lot when using Ubuntu or Debian-based distros. whose GLIBC isn't updated.
Before doing anything, upgrading your system might fix depending on your distro:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

If that didn't help, we will need to change some things xD

Assuming you've followed the guide until the end, let's delete wine-osu first.

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Let's now download another version, working on older GLIBCs as well.
Make sure curl is installed first:

sudo apt install curl

And now:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hwsnemo:/packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_hwsnemo_packaged-wine-osu.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine-osu

You can now play perfectly fine e.e

(Instructions might change depending on your distro, you can check yourself here:
https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahwsnemo%3Apackaged-wine-osu&package=wine-osu)

Input lag/Compositing

First of all, if you're gaming on Linux make sure to install all the necessary dependencies listed above (see Wine and dependencies)

Otherwise, what really affects input lag is desktop compositing, which is active by default on many desktop environments even when gaming.
If you're using Lutris to run osu!, you can disable it from the rule as you can see here:
(thanks TheKej for the reply below <3)


If you are not, check the other box for "How to add osu! to Lutris" xd

How to add osu! to Lutris

If you don't know what Lutris is, just google it and install it for your own system (it's really simple).

Now, if you're never used Lutris before, open it and then run this command:

cd ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/ && mkdir wine

This will create our wine folder; then, let's copy the Wine version we downloaded beforehand here as well:

sudo cp -r /opt/wine-osu/ ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine

Close Lutris and open it again.
Click on the + button you can find on the top left of your Lutris and just write osu! (or whatever you want) in the name. For the runner instead, just choose Wine (click yes to whatever pops up). It should look like this:



After this, go on the "Game options" box and just set it up like this:

Executable:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/osu!.exe

Working directory:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

Wine prefix:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/WINE.win32

Example:



Now let's go to the "Runner options" box and here select "wine-osu":



Last but not least, let's disable our desktop effects aka compositor in "System options" (enable advanced options):



And we're done! You can now run your osu! through Lutris as well!

osu! disappears/crashes randomly

These random crashes have been a thing for many people as they depended on a wine bug, and what those have in common (besides System.AccessViolationException) is OSSOCK.select. As I've read on ThePoon's ds (ty openglfreak), this socket code crash has been fixed in the latest Wine 7.0-rc3, and also listed in Wine 7.0-rc4's bug fixes.



So I built Wine 7.0-rc4 with gonX's patches and it seems to work like a charm xD

Replacing it is really easy:
Delete your current wine-osu version:

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Then download the latest wine-osu here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Ikp0x2vVPIy0wBcC2bPvTJSlaqCwfW9/view?usp=sharing

And just install it with the same commands as the guide:

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-rc4_staging-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

Doing this should fix those crashes while playing, just let me know if it really works as I've never gotten many of them xD

For Mint/Ubuntu users with GLIBC error using the other package:

hwsnemo has already updated the wine-osu package to 7.0-rc3 so updating your system should do the thing (or just do all the steps in the box again).

Optimize your performance: Gamemode

Gamemode is a tool which might improve your gaming depending on your system: to install it and try it, follow the instructions spunout enjoyer wrote here: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/1248084?n=61
(great job <3)

If you notice your games are actually running worse than before, just disable its rule on Lutris/don't use it when starting the game.

Even lower latency: gonX's PipeWire settings

If after installing osu! your latency sounds strange and you want an even lower one, we'll apply gonX's PipeWire "patch" (credits to him and don't forget to thank him for the help he always delivers with others on ThePoon's discord <3)

First of all, to prevent any missing files, run this command:

 mkdir -p ~/.config/pipewire && cp -rv /usr/share/pipewire/* ~/.config/pipewire/ 

After doing this, you just need to edit the pipewire-pulse.conf file in ~/.config/pipewire/
I'll do it with nano:

sudo nano ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf

Here, you might want to push your latency as far as possible: starting from 256, try to find the closest value to 32 which makes your sound stable/not cracking. It depends on your pc, there's not a "default" value xD
I'll use 32 as an example, so edit the file like this:

context.modules = {
    pulse.min.req = 32/48000              # 0.67ms
    pulse.min.quantum = 32/48000          # 0.67ms
}

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Reboot, and the patch is done e.e

Moving your songs/skins from Windows

First of all, make sure you installed the ntfs-3g package needed to read Windows partitions:

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

sudo apt install ntfs-3g

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

sudo pacman -Sy ntfs-3g

Fedora:

sudo dnf install ntfs-3g

Then, just copy the Skins and Songs folder to your Linux osu! folder, that you can find at:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

PP Counter for OBS: gosumemory

Gosumemory actually works perfectly with this osu! guide e.e
Let's start from downloading the latest release from GitHub (you obv need to download the Linux version): https://github.com/l3lackShark/gosumemory/releases/
I'll go with amd64 as my PC is 64bits.

Now let's extract the file in the gosumemory folder: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

 cd ~/Downloads && mkdir gosumemory

 unzip -q gosumemory_linux_amd64.zip -d ~/Downloads/gosumemory/

Let's now run gosumemory once with:

 cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory && chmod +x gosumemory

 sudo ./gosumemory

Ignore the error and edit this file:

 sudo nano ~/Downloads/gosumemory/config.ini

Here, you need to edit these 2 lines like this: (replace username with your own)

 wine = true 

 path = /home/username/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/Songs

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X.

Our gosumemory is now working, but let's create a script to launch it whenever we want:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/gosumemory

Here, just paste these commands:

 #!/bin/sh

cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory
sudo ./gosumemory

And now just launch this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gosumemory

And we're done! You can now launch gosumemory whenever you want by just typing:

 gosumemory

in your terminal! e.e

Last thing to do is: adding it to OBS.
Here, I reccommend y'all to use the Snap version of OBS (https://snapcraft.io/obs-studio) as it provides everything you might need for streaming.
Now open your osu!, launch gosumemory and then open your browser at this link: http://127.0.0.1:24050

Here you should see all the different overlays available: let's say I choose this one



You need to copy that link and paste in it OBS > Sources > Browser like this:



And you're done! PP Counter is finally working xD

Tablet drivers on Linux: OpenTabletDriver (+ Fedora install)

OpenTabletDriver is the perfect alternative to any tablet driver.
Follow its guide to install it:
https://opentabletdriver.net/Wiki/Install/Linux

Fedora isn't supported yet as of right now, so you need to compile it from source to actually use it. It's a bit long, but I wrote every step here e.e:

Fedora instructions

Compiling OTD from source

Let's start from dependencies: (most of them should be already installed)

 sudo dnf install libX11 libXrandr libevdev gtk3 bash

Let's now install .NET 6 SDK which isn't available in repositories yet xd
Follow these commands:

 cd && wget https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/17b6759f-1af0-41bc-ab12-209ba0377779/e8d02195dbf1434b940e0f05ae086453/dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz && mkdir dotnet

 tar zxf dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz -C dotnet/

 export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet

Last thing to do is to build OpenTabletDriver:

 git clone https://github.com/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.git && cd OpenTabletDriver/

 chmod +x build.sh

Now replace username with your own:

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./build.sh

 chmod +x generate-rules.sh

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./generate-rules.sh

 sudo mv ./bin/99-opentabletdriver.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Let's now create a script to launch OTD:

OTD Scripts

Let's start:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otd

Here, you need to paste this: (change username with your own)

 !/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk/bin/Release/net6.0/linux-x64
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk.dll "$@"

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otd

Let's now create a script to launch the OTD daemon:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otddaemon

Paste this: (change username with your own)

 #!/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
    if [[ ! -v DISPLAY ]] && [[ ! -v WAYLAND_DISPLAY ]]
    then
        echo "DISPLAY and/or WAYLAND_DISPLAY is not set"
        exit 64
    fi
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Daemon.dll -c ./Configurations
else
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Console.dll "$@"
fi

Now just run this:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otddaemon

Our two scripts are now finally set up; let's create the last one to launch both together:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

Here, just paste this:

 #!/bin/bash
otddaemon &
P1=$!
otd &
P2=$!
wait $P1 $P2

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

You're finally done! Launch OTD by typing:

 opentabletdriver

in your terminal e.e

Example:

osu! installer can't download files/XComposite error etc.

All these errors come from missing dependencies: make sure to install them all (see Wine and dependencies)

No sound when opening osu!

You probably only need to reboot or reload PipeWire by doing this:

sudo systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse
sudo systemctl --user daemon-reload

 sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

 sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"

 sudo dnf install wine

(if you're using other distros, give this a look https://www.gloriouseggroll.tv/how-to-get-out-of-wine-dependency-hell/)

also make sure you installed the right drivers for your gpu:
https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

Let's begin from Latency:

Latency: Installing Pipewire

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

To install Pipewire on Debian, just follow these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pipewire
sudo apt install libspa-0.2-bluetooth
sudo apt install pipewire-audio-client-libraries
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire-media-session.service pipewire pipewire-pulse

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

Remove PulseAudio:

sudo pacman -Rdd pulseaudio

And install PipeWire:

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa wireplumber

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Fedora:

Well, Fedora's latest versions already ship with Pipewire xD you might want to check doing this:

 sudo dnf install pulseaudio-utils

 pactl info

And if you see Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire) you're good to go.

After doing this, you should be already done with Pipewire

Now let's install osu! and set up our Wine:

Installing osu! (All distros)

To install osu!, we'll just use Forefront's package on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine). His package is the most stable one I've ever tried, so huge grats and credits to him e.e

Installing the game is just as simple as this:

git clone https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine

cd osu-wine

sudo ./install.sh

osu-wine

The game is now working, but we need to change the Wine version to an osu! specific one.
To do this, let's download the wine-osu 7.0 package with gonX's patches from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xgJIe18ccBx6yjPcmBxDbTnS1XxwrAcc/view?usp=sharing

Once you've done that, you need to extract the package.
You can do it like this: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Now let's copy the extracted folder to the /opt directory:

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

And let's edit the /etc/osu-wine.conf file:

sudo nano /etc/osu-wine.conf

Here, you need to uncomment the PATH line at the end, just like this:

## Path, DO NOT EDIT THIS VARIABLE, ONLY UNCOMMENT
PATH="/opt/wine-osu/bin:$PATH"

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Now use this last command to copy the .conf file:

cp /etc/osu-wine.conf ~/.osu-wine.conf

Last but not least: run this to fix drag and drop songs:

sudo wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Zu5vK-ACs1KhF4Rju1HAIIPb6XC42s9X' -O /usr/bin/osu-wine

The installation is now finished! You need just to open osu! and run it.

But before playing, the last thing you need to do is to set your universal offset to -25ms, so that your osu! will sound just like on Windows.



Warning: -25ms is what I generally recommend, but try to find your sweet spot from -40ms!

And you're done! You can now play osu!



Check the troubleshooting box if you need any help or just write me on Twitter (@MarshNello) [OS in the ss is Arch Linux GNOME]
And that's it! Enjoy playing osu! on your Linux!

Got any error? (GLIBC, Game not starting, input lag, random crashes etc.)
Check the box below:

Extra info and troubleshooting:

Open me \o/:

Game won't start/ntdll.so (GLIBC_2.32) error

This error actually occurs a lot when using Ubuntu or Debian-based distros. whose GLIBC isn't updated.
Before doing anything, upgrading your system might fix depending on your distro:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

If that didn't help, we will need to change some things xD

Assuming you've followed the guide until the end, let's delete wine-osu first.

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Let's now download another version, working on older GLIBCs as well.
Make sure curl is installed first:

sudo apt install curl

And now:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hwsnemo:/packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_hwsnemo_packaged-wine-osu.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine-osu

You can now play perfectly fine e.e

(Instructions might change depending on your distro, you can check yourself here:
https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahwsnemo%3Apackaged-wine-osu&package=wine-osu)

Input lag/Compositing

First of all, if you're gaming on Linux make sure to install all the necessary dependencies listed above (see Wine and dependencies)

Otherwise, what really affects input lag is desktop compositing, which is active by default on many desktop environments even when gaming.
If you're using Lutris to run osu!, you can disable it from the rule as you can see here:
(thanks TheKej for the reply below <3)


If you are not, check the other box for "How to add osu! to Lutris" xd

How to add osu! to Lutris

If you don't know what Lutris is, just google it and install it for your own system (it's really simple).

Now, if you're never used Lutris before, open it and then run this command:

cd ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/ && mkdir wine

This will create our wine folder; then, let's copy the Wine version we downloaded beforehand here as well:

sudo cp -r /opt/wine-osu/ ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine

Close Lutris and open it again.
Click on the + button you can find on the top left of your Lutris and just write osu! (or whatever you want) in the name. For the runner instead, just choose Wine (click yes to whatever pops up). It should look like this:



After this, go on the "Game options" box and just set it up like this:

Executable:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/osu!.exe

Working directory:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

Wine prefix:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/WINE.win32

Example:



Now let's go to the "Runner options" box and here select "wine-osu":



Last but not least, let's disable our desktop effects aka compositor in "System options" (enable advanced options):



And we're done! You can now run your osu! through Lutris as well!

osu! disappears/crashes randomly

These random crashes have been a thing for many people as they depended on a wine bug, and what those have in common (besides System.AccessViolationException) is OSSOCK.select. As I've read on ThePoon's ds (ty openglfreak), this socket code crash has been fixed in the latest Wine 7.0-rc3, and also listed in Wine 7.0-rc4's bug fixes.



So I built Wine 7.0-rc4 with gonX's patches and it seems to work like a charm xD

Replacing it is really easy:
Delete your current wine-osu version:

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Then download the latest wine-osu here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Ikp0x2vVPIy0wBcC2bPvTJSlaqCwfW9/view?usp=sharing

And just install it with the same commands as the guide:

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-rc4_staging-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

Doing this should fix those crashes while playing, just let me know if it really works as I've never gotten many of them xD

For Mint/Ubuntu users with GLIBC error using the other package:

hwsnemo has already updated the wine-osu package to 7.0-rc3 so updating your system should do the thing (or just do all the steps in the box again).

Optimize your performance: Gamemode

Gamemode is a tool which might improve your gaming depending on your system: to install it and try it, follow the instructions spunout enjoyer wrote here: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/1248084?n=61
(great job <3)

If you notice your games are actually running worse than before, just disable its rule on Lutris/don't use it when starting the game.

Even lower latency: gonX's PipeWire settings

If after installing osu! your latency sounds strange and you want an even lower one, we'll apply gonX's PipeWire "patch" (credits to him and don't forget to thank him for the help he always delivers with others on ThePoon's discord <3)

First of all, to prevent any missing files, run this command:

 mkdir -p ~/.config/pipewire && cp -rv /usr/share/pipewire/* ~/.config/pipewire/ 

After doing this, you just need to edit the pipewire-pulse.conf file in ~/.config/pipewire/
I'll do it with nano:

sudo nano ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf

Here, you might want to push your latency as far as possible: starting from 256, try to find the closest value to 32 which makes your sound stable/not cracking. It depends on your pc, there's not a "default" value xD
I'll use 32 as an example, so edit the file like this:

context.modules = {
    pulse.min.req = 32/48000              # 0.67ms
    pulse.min.quantum = 32/48000          # 0.67ms
}

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Reboot, and the patch is done e.e

Moving your songs/skins from Windows

First of all, make sure you installed the ntfs-3g package needed to read Windows partitions:

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

sudo apt install ntfs-3g

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

sudo pacman -Sy ntfs-3g

Fedora:

sudo dnf install ntfs-3g

Then, just copy the Skins and Songs folder to your Linux osu! folder, that you can find at:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

PP Counter for OBS: gosumemory

Gosumemory actually works perfectly with this osu! guide e.e
Let's start from downloading the latest release from GitHub (you obv need to download the Linux version): https://github.com/l3lackShark/gosumemory/releases/
I'll go with amd64 as my PC is 64bits.

Now let's extract the file in the gosumemory folder: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

 cd ~/Downloads && mkdir gosumemory

 unzip -q gosumemory_linux_amd64.zip -d ~/Downloads/gosumemory/

Let's now run gosumemory once with:

 cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory && chmod +x gosumemory

 sudo ./gosumemory

Ignore the error and edit this file:

 sudo nano ~/Downloads/gosumemory/config.ini

Here, you need to edit these 2 lines like this: (replace username with your own)

 wine = true 

 path = /home/username/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/Songs

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X.

Our gosumemory is now working, but let's create a script to launch it whenever we want:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/gosumemory

Here, just paste these commands:

 #!/bin/sh

cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory
sudo ./gosumemory

And now just launch this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gosumemory

And we're done! You can now launch gosumemory whenever you want by just typing:

 gosumemory

in your terminal! e.e

Last thing to do is: adding it to OBS.
Here, I reccommend y'all to use the Snap version of OBS (https://snapcraft.io/obs-studio) as it provides everything you might need for streaming.
Now open your osu!, launch gosumemory and then open your browser at this link: http://127.0.0.1:24050

Here you should see all the different overlays available: let's say I choose this one



You need to copy that link and paste in it OBS > Sources > Browser like this:



And you're done! PP Counter is finally working xD

Tablet drivers on Linux: OpenTabletDriver (+ Fedora install)

OpenTabletDriver is the perfect alternative to any tablet driver.
Follow its guide to install it:
https://opentabletdriver.net/Wiki/Install/Linux

Fedora isn't supported yet as of right now, so you need to compile it from source to actually use it. It's a bit long, but I wrote every step here e.e:

Fedora instructions

Compiling OTD from source

Let's start from dependencies: (most of them should be already installed)

 sudo dnf install libX11 libXrandr libevdev gtk3 bash

Let's now install .NET 6 SDK which isn't available in repositories yet xd
Follow these commands:

 cd && wget https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/17b6759f-1af0-41bc-ab12-209ba0377779/e8d02195dbf1434b940e0f05ae086453/dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz && mkdir dotnet

 tar zxf dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz -C dotnet/

 export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet

Last thing to do is to build OpenTabletDriver:

 git clone https://github.com/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.git && cd OpenTabletDriver/

 chmod +x build.sh

Now replace username with your own:

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./build.sh

 chmod +x generate-rules.sh

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./generate-rules.sh

 sudo mv ./bin/99-opentabletdriver.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Let's now create a script to launch OTD:

OTD Scripts

Let's start:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otd

Here, you need to paste this: (change username with your own)

 !/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk/bin/Release/net6.0/linux-x64
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk.dll "$@"

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otd

Let's now create a script to launch the OTD daemon:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otddaemon

Paste this: (change username with your own)

 #!/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
    if [[ ! -v DISPLAY ]] && [[ ! -v WAYLAND_DISPLAY ]]
    then
        echo "DISPLAY and/or WAYLAND_DISPLAY is not set"
        exit 64
    fi
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Daemon.dll -c ./Configurations
else
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Console.dll "$@"
fi

Now just run this:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otddaemon

Our two scripts are now finally set up; let's create the last one to launch both together:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

Here, just paste this:

 #!/bin/bash
otddaemon &
P1=$!
otd &
P2=$!
wait $P1 $P2

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

You're finally done! Launch OTD by typing:

 opentabletdriver

in your terminal e.e

Example:

osu! installer can't download files/XComposite error etc.

All these errors come from missing dependencies: make sure to install them all (see Wine and dependencies)

No sound when opening osu!

You probably only need to reboot or reload PipeWire by doing this:

sudo systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse
sudo systemctl --user daemon-reload

Hello

The last wine-osu build (7.1-1) broke and osu! just stalls at the splash screen.

Doing a timeshift rollback dind't help, so I tried redoing the whole process in the OP from scratch and got not just the same, but worse result, albeit a lil funny.
Wine would open so many instances of explorer.exe that I had to enter a console to kill the process because it would use nearly 100% of the cpu and memory.
After a reboot it would simply just crash on launch, here's the terminal's output

I'm running Linux Mint 20.3 (MATE), I'm very much certain that Pipewire hasn't broken anything since I kept it at version 0.3.42. (not upgrading it because can't downgrade with apt) and drivers are all up to date.

Should I just wait for an update or is this by fixable in some form?

oh by the way, tyvm to the author of this guide, its been really helpful and taught me few useful commands

Bit of a newbie too, so there's probably a better way to do this, but here's all the .deb files for 0.3.43.
You'll need to download all the ones you have, and downgrade them all using dpkg -i "filename"
If it still doesn't work, enable audio compatibility in osu!, that's what got it to work for me

oh, also, apparently this uninstalls pipewire-media-session. for me at least. just install and enable it again like normal.

for the japanese characters part you can install meiryo font yourself, but korean/chinese characters still seems to be not working

Francescos pinned guide has this already covered

Extract Win10 fonts from install iso (as per Francesco)

as discovered by _goeo, it's possible to fix both the top right icons in the main menu and japanese fonts by copying fonts from a windows install or iso.

to extract japanese fonts from the Windows 10 iso:

download the iso from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

install 7z

1. ubuntu:

   sudo apt install p7zip

2. arch:

   sudo pacman -Sy p7zip

3. gentoo:

   sudo emerge --ask app-arch/p7zip

cd ~/Downloads
7z e Win10_*.iso sources/install.wim
7z x install.wim 1/Windows/Fonts
sudo cp -r 1/Windows/Fonts /usr/share/fonts/WindowsFonts
sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/share/fonts/WindowsFonts
sudo fc-cache -f

see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microsoft_fonts#Extracting_fonts_from_a_Windows_ISO for more info

you can also just copy your fonts folder from a windows install and install it in the same way

I am seeing the same issue. Mouse leaves the window even in full screen, which lags the bejeezus out of the game.

I straight up just disable my second monitor when playing osu, hard to move OOB when there *is no out of bounds*

Do any of you wizards have some insight? It would be much appreciated.

EDIT: ok installing a package through winetricks seems to fix it. Run:

osu-wine --winetricks -q comctl32

And then try again but it should be working just fine

A little introduction:
osu! working fine on Linux has been a thing for many years now, especially thanks to ThePoon's patches and Franc[e]sco's guide, but thanks to PipeWire and to the latest custom builds it's actually even easier. Let's start 8^)

 sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

 sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"

 sudo dnf install wine

(if you're using other distros, give this a look https://www.gloriouseggroll.tv/how-to-get-out-of-wine-dependency-hell/)

also make sure you installed the right drivers for your gpu:
https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

Let's begin from Latency:

Latency: Installing Pipewire

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

To install Pipewire on Debian, just follow these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pipewire
sudo apt install libspa-0.2-bluetooth
sudo apt install pipewire-audio-client-libraries
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire-media-session.service pipewire pipewire-pulse

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

Remove PulseAudio:

sudo pacman -Rdd pulseaudio

And install PipeWire:

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa wireplumber

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Fedora:

Well, Fedora's latest versions already ship with Pipewire xD you might want to check doing this:

 sudo dnf install pulseaudio-utils

 pactl info

And if you see Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire) you're good to go.

After doing this, you should be already done with Pipewire

Now let's install osu! and set up our Wine:

Installing osu! (All distros)

To install osu!, we'll just use Forefront's package on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine). His package is the most stable one I've ever tried, so huge grats and credits to him e.e

Installing the game is just as simple as this:

git clone https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine

cd osu-wine

sudo ./install.sh

osu-wine

The game is now working, but we need to change the Wine version to an osu! specific one.
To do this, let's download the wine-osu 7.0 package with gonX's patches from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xgJIe18ccBx6yjPcmBxDbTnS1XxwrAcc/view?usp=sharing

Once you've done that, you need to extract the package.
You can do it like this: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Now let's copy the extracted folder to the /opt directory:

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

And let's edit the /etc/osu-wine.conf file:

sudo nano /etc/osu-wine.conf

Here, you need to uncomment the PATH line at the end, just like this:

## Path, DO NOT EDIT THIS VARIABLE, ONLY UNCOMMENT
PATH="/opt/wine-osu/bin:$PATH"

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Now use this last command to copy the .conf file:

cp /etc/osu-wine.conf ~/.osu-wine.conf

Last but not least: run this to fix drag and drop songs:

sudo wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Zu5vK-ACs1KhF4Rju1HAIIPb6XC42s9X' -O /usr/bin/osu-wine

The installation is now finished! You need just to open osu! and run it.

But before playing, the last thing you need to do is to set your universal offset to -25ms, so that your osu! will sound just like on Windows.



Warning: -25ms is what I generally recommend, but try to find your sweet spot from -40ms!

And you're done! You can now play osu!



Check the troubleshooting box if you need any help or just write me on Twitter (@MarshNello) [OS in the ss is Arch Linux GNOME]
And that's it! Enjoy playing osu! on your Linux!

Got any error? (GLIBC, Game not starting, input lag, random crashes etc.)
Check the box below:

Extra info and troubleshooting:

Open me \o/:

Game won't start/ntdll.so (GLIBC_2.32) error

This error actually occurs a lot when using Ubuntu or Debian-based distros. whose GLIBC isn't updated.
Before doing anything, upgrading your system might fix depending on your distro:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

If that didn't help, we will need to change some things xD

Assuming you've followed the guide until the end, let's delete wine-osu first.

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Let's now download another version, working on older GLIBCs as well.
Make sure curl is installed first:

sudo apt install curl

And now:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hwsnemo:/packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_hwsnemo_packaged-wine-osu.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine-osu

You can now play perfectly fine e.e

(Instructions might change depending on your distro, you can check yourself here:
https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahwsnemo%3Apackaged-wine-osu&package=wine-osu)

Input lag/Compositing

First of all, if you're gaming on Linux make sure to install all the necessary dependencies listed above (see Wine and dependencies)

Otherwise, what really affects input lag is desktop compositing, which is active by default on many desktop environments even when gaming.
If you're using Lutris to run osu!, you can disable it from the rule as you can see here:
(thanks TheKej for the reply below <3)


If you are not, check the other box for "How to add osu! to Lutris" xd

How to add osu! to Lutris

If you don't know what Lutris is, just google it and install it for your own system (it's really simple).

Now, if you're never used Lutris before, open it and then run this command:

cd ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/ && mkdir wine

This will create our wine folder; then, let's copy the Wine version we downloaded beforehand here as well:

sudo cp -r /opt/wine-osu/ ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine

Close Lutris and open it again.
Click on the + button you can find on the top left of your Lutris and just write osu! (or whatever you want) in the name. For the runner instead, just choose Wine (click yes to whatever pops up). It should look like this:



After this, go on the "Game options" box and just set it up like this:

Executable:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/osu!.exe

Working directory:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

Wine prefix:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/WINE.win32

Example:



Now let's go to the "Runner options" box and here select "wine-osu":



Last but not least, let's disable our desktop effects aka compositor in "System options" (enable advanced options):



And we're done! You can now run your osu! through Lutris as well!

osu! disappears/crashes randomly

These random crashes have been a thing for many people as they depended on a wine bug, and what those have in common (besides System.AccessViolationException) is OSSOCK.select. As I've read on ThePoon's ds (ty openglfreak), this socket code crash has been fixed in the latest Wine 7.0-rc3, and also listed in Wine 7.0-rc4's bug fixes.



So I built Wine 7.0-rc4 with gonX's patches and it seems to work like a charm xD

Replacing it is really easy:
Delete your current wine-osu version:

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Then download the latest wine-osu here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Ikp0x2vVPIy0wBcC2bPvTJSlaqCwfW9/view?usp=sharing

And just install it with the same commands as the guide:

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-rc4_staging-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

Doing this should fix those crashes while playing, just let me know if it really works as I've never gotten many of them xD

For Mint/Ubuntu users with GLIBC error using the other package:

hwsnemo has already updated the wine-osu package to 7.0-rc3 so updating your system should do the thing (or just do all the steps in the box again).

Optimize your performance: Gamemode

Gamemode is a tool which might improve your gaming depending on your system: to install it and try it, follow the instructions spunout enjoyer wrote here: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/1248084?n=61
(great job <3)

If you notice your games are actually running worse than before, just disable its rule on Lutris/don't use it when starting the game.

Even lower latency: gonX's PipeWire settings

If after installing osu! your latency sounds strange and you want an even lower one, we'll apply gonX's PipeWire "patch" (credits to him and don't forget to thank him for the help he always delivers with others on ThePoon's discord <3)

First of all, to prevent any missing files, run this command:

 mkdir -p ~/.config/pipewire && cp -rv /usr/share/pipewire/* ~/.config/pipewire/ 

After doing this, you just need to edit the pipewire-pulse.conf file in ~/.config/pipewire/
I'll do it with nano:

sudo nano ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf

Here, you might want to push your latency as far as possible: starting from 256, try to find the closest value to 32 which makes your sound stable/not cracking. It depends on your pc, there's not a "default" value xD
I'll use 32 as an example, so edit the file like this:

context.modules = {
    pulse.min.req = 32/48000              # 0.67ms
    pulse.min.quantum = 32/48000          # 0.67ms
}

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Reboot, and the patch is done e.e

Moving your songs/skins from Windows

First of all, make sure you installed the ntfs-3g package needed to read Windows partitions:

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

sudo apt install ntfs-3g

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

sudo pacman -Sy ntfs-3g

Fedora:

sudo dnf install ntfs-3g

Then, just copy the Skins and Songs folder to your Linux osu! folder, that you can find at:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

PP Counter for OBS: gosumemory

Gosumemory actually works perfectly with this osu! guide e.e
Let's start from downloading the latest release from GitHub (you obv need to download the Linux version): https://github.com/l3lackShark/gosumemory/releases/
I'll go with amd64 as my PC is 64bits.

Now let's extract the file in the gosumemory folder: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

 cd ~/Downloads && mkdir gosumemory

 unzip -q gosumemory_linux_amd64.zip -d ~/Downloads/gosumemory/

Let's now run gosumemory once with:

 cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory && chmod +x gosumemory

 sudo ./gosumemory

Ignore the error and edit this file:

 sudo nano ~/Downloads/gosumemory/config.ini

Here, you need to edit these 2 lines like this: (replace username with your own)

 wine = true 

 path = /home/username/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/Songs

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X.

Our gosumemory is now working, but let's create a script to launch it whenever we want:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/gosumemory

Here, just paste these commands:

 #!/bin/sh

cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory
sudo ./gosumemory

And now just launch this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gosumemory

And we're done! You can now launch gosumemory whenever you want by just typing:

 gosumemory

in your terminal! e.e

Last thing to do is: adding it to OBS.
Here, I reccommend y'all to use the Snap version of OBS (https://snapcraft.io/obs-studio) as it provides everything you might need for streaming.
Now open your osu!, launch gosumemory and then open your browser at this link: http://127.0.0.1:24050

Here you should see all the different overlays available: let's say I choose this one



You need to copy that link and paste in it OBS > Sources > Browser like this:



And you're done! PP Counter is finally working xD

Tablet drivers on Linux: OpenTabletDriver (+ Fedora install)

OpenTabletDriver is the perfect alternative to any tablet driver.
Follow its guide to install it:
https://opentabletdriver.net/Wiki/Install/Linux

Fedora isn't supported yet as of right now, so you need to compile it from source to actually use it. It's a bit long, but I wrote every step here e.e:

Fedora instructions

Compiling OTD from source

Let's start from dependencies: (most of them should be already installed)

 sudo dnf install libX11 libXrandr libevdev gtk3 bash

Let's now install .NET 6 SDK which isn't available in repositories yet xd
Follow these commands:

 cd && wget https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/17b6759f-1af0-41bc-ab12-209ba0377779/e8d02195dbf1434b940e0f05ae086453/dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz && mkdir dotnet

 tar zxf dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz -C dotnet/

 export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet

Last thing to do is to build OpenTabletDriver:

 git clone https://github.com/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.git && cd OpenTabletDriver/

 chmod +x build.sh

Now replace username with your own:

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./build.sh

 chmod +x generate-rules.sh

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./generate-rules.sh

 sudo mv ./bin/99-opentabletdriver.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Let's now create a script to launch OTD:

OTD Scripts

Let's start:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otd

Here, you need to paste this: (change username with your own)

 !/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk/bin/Release/net6.0/linux-x64
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk.dll "$@"

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otd

Let's now create a script to launch the OTD daemon:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otddaemon

Paste this: (change username with your own)

 #!/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
    if [[ ! -v DISPLAY ]] && [[ ! -v WAYLAND_DISPLAY ]]
    then
        echo "DISPLAY and/or WAYLAND_DISPLAY is not set"
        exit 64
    fi
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Daemon.dll -c ./Configurations
else
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Console.dll "$@"
fi

Now just run this:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otddaemon

Our two scripts are now finally set up; let's create the last one to launch both together:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

Here, just paste this:

 #!/bin/bash
otddaemon &
P1=$!
otd &
P2=$!
wait $P1 $P2

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

You're finally done! Launch OTD by typing:

 opentabletdriver

in your terminal e.e

Example:

osu! installer can't download files/XComposite error etc.

All these errors come from missing dependencies: make sure to install them all (see Wine and dependencies)

No sound when opening osu!

You probably only need to reboot or reload PipeWire by doing this:

sudo systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse
sudo systemctl --user daemon-reload

 sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

 sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"

 sudo dnf install wine

(if you're using other distros, give this a look https://www.gloriouseggroll.tv/how-to-get-out-of-wine-dependency-hell/)

also make sure you installed the right drivers for your gpu:
https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

Let's begin from Latency:

Latency: Installing Pipewire

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

To install Pipewire on Debian, just follow these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pipewire
sudo apt install libspa-0.2-bluetooth
sudo apt install pipewire-audio-client-libraries
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire-media-session.service pipewire pipewire-pulse

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

Remove PulseAudio:

sudo pacman -Rdd pulseaudio

And install PipeWire:

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa wireplumber

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Fedora:

Well, Fedora's latest versions already ship with Pipewire xD you might want to check doing this:

 sudo dnf install pulseaudio-utils

 pactl info

And if you see Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire) you're good to go.

After doing this, you should be already done with Pipewire

Now let's install osu! and set up our Wine:

Installing osu! (All distros)

To install osu!, we'll just use Forefront's package on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine). His package is the most stable one I've ever tried, so huge grats and credits to him e.e

Installing the game is just as simple as this:

git clone https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine

cd osu-wine

sudo ./install.sh

osu-wine

The game is now working, but we need to change the Wine version to an osu! specific one.
To do this, let's download the wine-osu 7.0 package with gonX's patches from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xgJIe18ccBx6yjPcmBxDbTnS1XxwrAcc/view?usp=sharing

Once you've done that, you need to extract the package.
You can do it like this: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Now let's copy the extracted folder to the /opt directory:

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

And let's edit the /etc/osu-wine.conf file:

sudo nano /etc/osu-wine.conf

Here, you need to uncomment the PATH line at the end, just like this:

## Path, DO NOT EDIT THIS VARIABLE, ONLY UNCOMMENT
PATH="/opt/wine-osu/bin:$PATH"

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Now use this last command to copy the .conf file:

cp /etc/osu-wine.conf ~/.osu-wine.conf

Last but not least: run this to fix drag and drop songs:

sudo wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Zu5vK-ACs1KhF4Rju1HAIIPb6XC42s9X' -O /usr/bin/osu-wine

The installation is now finished! You need just to open osu! and run it.

But before playing, the last thing you need to do is to set your universal offset to -25ms, so that your osu! will sound just like on Windows.



Warning: -25ms is what I generally recommend, but try to find your sweet spot from -40ms!

And you're done! You can now play osu!



Check the troubleshooting box if you need any help or just write me on Twitter (@MarshNello) [OS in the ss is Arch Linux GNOME]
And that's it! Enjoy playing osu! on your Linux!

Got any error? (GLIBC, Game not starting, input lag, random crashes etc.)
Check the box below:

Extra info and troubleshooting:

Open me \o/:

Game won't start/ntdll.so (GLIBC_2.32) error

This error actually occurs a lot when using Ubuntu or Debian-based distros. whose GLIBC isn't updated.
Before doing anything, upgrading your system might fix depending on your distro:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

If that didn't help, we will need to change some things xD

Assuming you've followed the guide until the end, let's delete wine-osu first.

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Let's now download another version, working on older GLIBCs as well.
Make sure curl is installed first:

sudo apt install curl

And now:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hwsnemo:/packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_hwsnemo_packaged-wine-osu.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine-osu

You can now play perfectly fine e.e

(Instructions might change depending on your distro, you can check yourself here:
https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahwsnemo%3Apackaged-wine-osu&package=wine-osu)

Input lag/Compositing

First of all, if you're gaming on Linux make sure to install all the necessary dependencies listed above (see Wine and dependencies)

Otherwise, what really affects input lag is desktop compositing, which is active by default on many desktop environments even when gaming.
If you're using Lutris to run osu!, you can disable it from the rule as you can see here:
(thanks TheKej for the reply below <3)


If you are not, check the other box for "How to add osu! to Lutris" xd

How to add osu! to Lutris

If you don't know what Lutris is, just google it and install it for your own system (it's really simple).

Now, if you're never used Lutris before, open it and then run this command:

cd ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/ && mkdir wine

This will create our wine folder; then, let's copy the Wine version we downloaded beforehand here as well:

sudo cp -r /opt/wine-osu/ ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine

Close Lutris and open it again.
Click on the + button you can find on the top left of your Lutris and just write osu! (or whatever you want) in the name. For the runner instead, just choose Wine (click yes to whatever pops up). It should look like this:



After this, go on the "Game options" box and just set it up like this:

Executable:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/osu!.exe

Working directory:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

Wine prefix:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/WINE.win32

Example:



Now let's go to the "Runner options" box and here select "wine-osu":



Last but not least, let's disable our desktop effects aka compositor in "System options" (enable advanced options):



And we're done! You can now run your osu! through Lutris as well!

osu! disappears/crashes randomly

These random crashes have been a thing for many people as they depended on a wine bug, and what those have in common (besides System.AccessViolationException) is OSSOCK.select. As I've read on ThePoon's ds (ty openglfreak), this socket code crash has been fixed in the latest Wine 7.0-rc3, and also listed in Wine 7.0-rc4's bug fixes.



So I built Wine 7.0-rc4 with gonX's patches and it seems to work like a charm xD

Replacing it is really easy:
Delete your current wine-osu version:

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Then download the latest wine-osu here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Ikp0x2vVPIy0wBcC2bPvTJSlaqCwfW9/view?usp=sharing

And just install it with the same commands as the guide:

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-rc4_staging-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

Doing this should fix those crashes while playing, just let me know if it really works as I've never gotten many of them xD

For Mint/Ubuntu users with GLIBC error using the other package:

hwsnemo has already updated the wine-osu package to 7.0-rc3 so updating your system should do the thing (or just do all the steps in the box again).

Optimize your performance: Gamemode

Gamemode is a tool which might improve your gaming depending on your system: to install it and try it, follow the instructions spunout enjoyer wrote here: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/1248084?n=61
(great job <3)

If you notice your games are actually running worse than before, just disable its rule on Lutris/don't use it when starting the game.

Even lower latency: gonX's PipeWire settings

If after installing osu! your latency sounds strange and you want an even lower one, we'll apply gonX's PipeWire "patch" (credits to him and don't forget to thank him for the help he always delivers with others on ThePoon's discord <3)

First of all, to prevent any missing files, run this command:

 mkdir -p ~/.config/pipewire && cp -rv /usr/share/pipewire/* ~/.config/pipewire/ 

After doing this, you just need to edit the pipewire-pulse.conf file in ~/.config/pipewire/
I'll do it with nano:

sudo nano ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf

Here, you might want to push your latency as far as possible: starting from 256, try to find the closest value to 32 which makes your sound stable/not cracking. It depends on your pc, there's not a "default" value xD
I'll use 32 as an example, so edit the file like this:

context.modules = {
    pulse.min.req = 32/48000              # 0.67ms
    pulse.min.quantum = 32/48000          # 0.67ms
}

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Reboot, and the patch is done e.e

Moving your songs/skins from Windows

First of all, make sure you installed the ntfs-3g package needed to read Windows partitions:

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

sudo apt install ntfs-3g

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

sudo pacman -Sy ntfs-3g

Then, just copy the Skins and Songs folder to your Linux osu! folder, that you can find at:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

osu! installer can't download files/XComposite error etc.

All these errors come from missing dependencies: make sure to install them all (see Wine and dependencies)

No sound when opening osu!

You probably only need to reboot or reload PipeWire by doing this:

sudo systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse
sudo systemctl --user daemon-reload

A little introduction:
osu! working fine on Linux has been a thing for many years now, especially thanks to ThePoon's patches and Franc[e]sco's guide, but thanks to PipeWire and to the latest custom builds it's actually even easier. Let's start 8^)

Prerequisites:

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

 sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

 sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"

 sudo dnf install wine

(if you're using other distros, give this a look https://www.gloriouseggroll.tv/how-to-get-out-of-wine-dependency-hell/)

also make sure you installed the right drivers for your gpu:
https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

Let's begin from Latency:

Latency: Installing Pipewire

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

To install Pipewire on Debian, just follow these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pipewire
sudo apt install libspa-0.2-bluetooth
sudo apt install pipewire-audio-client-libraries
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire-media-session.service pipewire pipewire-pulse

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

Remove PulseAudio:

sudo pacman -Rdd pulseaudio

And install PipeWire:

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa wireplumber

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Fedora:

Well, Fedora's latest versions already ship with Pipewire xD you might want to check doing this:

 sudo dnf install pulseaudio-utils

 pactl info

And if you see Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire) you're good to go.

After doing this, you should be already done with Pipewire

Now let's install osu! and set up our Wine:

Installing osu! (All distros)

To install osu!, we'll just use Forefront's package on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine). His package is the most stable one I've ever tried, so huge grats and credits to him e.e

Installing the game is just as simple as this:

git clone https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine

cd osu-wine

sudo ./install.sh

osu-wine

The game is now working, but we need to change the Wine version to an osu! specific one.
To do this, let's download the wine-osu 7.0 package with gonX's patches from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xgJIe18ccBx6yjPcmBxDbTnS1XxwrAcc/view?usp=sharing

Once you've done that, you need to extract the package.
You can do it like this: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Now let's copy the extracted folder to the /opt directory:

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

And let's edit the /etc/osu-wine.conf file:

sudo nano /etc/osu-wine.conf

Here, you need to uncomment the PATH line at the end, just like this:

## Path, DO NOT EDIT THIS VARIABLE, ONLY UNCOMMENT
PATH="/opt/wine-osu/bin:$PATH"

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Now use this last command to copy the .conf file:

cp /etc/osu-wine.conf ~/.osu-wine.conf

Last but not least: run this to fix drag and drop songs:

sudo wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Zu5vK-ACs1KhF4Rju1HAIIPb6XC42s9X' -O /usr/bin/osu-wine

The installation is now finished! You need just to open osu! and run it.

But before playing, the last thing you need to do is to set your universal offset to -25ms, so that your osu! will sound just like on Windows.



Warning: -25ms is what I generally recommend, but try to find your sweet spot from -40ms!

And you're done! You can now play osu!



Check the troubleshooting box if you need any help or just write me on Twitter (@MarshNello) [OS in the ss is Arch Linux GNOME]
And that's it! Enjoy playing osu! on your Linux!

Got any error? (GLIBC, Game not starting, input lag, random crashes etc.)
Check the box below:

Extra info and troubleshooting:

Open me \o/:

Game won't start/ntdll.so (GLIBC_2.32) error

This error actually occurs a lot when using Ubuntu or Debian-based distros. whose GLIBC isn't updated.
Before doing anything, upgrading your system might fix depending on your distro:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

If that didn't help, we will need to change some things xD

Assuming you've followed the guide until the end, let's delete wine-osu first.

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Let's now download another version, working on older GLIBCs as well.
Make sure curl is installed first:

sudo apt install curl

And now:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hwsnemo:/packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_hwsnemo_packaged-wine-osu.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine-osu

You can now play perfectly fine e.e

(Instructions might change depending on your distro, you can check yourself here:
https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahwsnemo%3Apackaged-wine-osu&package=wine-osu)

Input lag/Compositing

First of all, if you're gaming on Linux make sure to install all the necessary dependencies listed above (see Wine and dependencies)

Otherwise, what really affects input lag is desktop compositing, which is active by default on many desktop environments even when gaming.
If you're using Lutris to run osu!, you can disable it from the rule as you can see here:
(thanks TheKej for the reply below <3)


If you are not, check the other box for "How to add osu! to Lutris" xd

How to add osu! to Lutris

If you don't know what Lutris is, just google it and install it for your own system (it's really simple).

Now, if you're never used Lutris before, open it and then run this command:

cd ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/ && mkdir wine

This will create our wine folder; then, let's copy the Wine version we downloaded beforehand here as well:

sudo cp -r /opt/wine-osu/ ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine

Close Lutris and open it again.
Click on the + button you can find on the top left of your Lutris and just write osu! (or whatever you want) in the name. For the runner instead, just choose Wine (click yes to whatever pops up). It should look like this:



After this, go on the "Game options" box and just set it up like this:

Executable:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/osu!.exe

Working directory:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

Wine prefix:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/WINE.win32

Example:



Now let's go to the "Runner options" box and here select "wine-osu":



Last but not least, let's disable our desktop effects aka compositor in "System options" (enable advanced options):



And we're done! You can now run your osu! through Lutris as well!

osu! disappears/crashes randomly

These random crashes have been a thing for many people as they depended on a wine bug, and what those have in common (besides System.AccessViolationException) is OSSOCK.select. As I've read on ThePoon's ds (ty openglfreak), this socket code crash has been fixed in the latest Wine 7.0-rc3, and also listed in Wine 7.0-rc4's bug fixes.



So I built Wine 7.0-rc4 with gonX's patches and it seems to work like a charm xD

Replacing it is really easy:
Delete your current wine-osu version:

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Then download the latest wine-osu here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Ikp0x2vVPIy0wBcC2bPvTJSlaqCwfW9/view?usp=sharing

And just install it with the same commands as the guide:

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-rc4_staging-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

Doing this should fix those crashes while playing, just let me know if it really works as I've never gotten many of them xD

For Mint/Ubuntu users with GLIBC error using the other package:

hwsnemo has already updated the wine-osu package to 7.0-rc3 so updating your system should do the thing (or just do all the steps in the box again).

Optimize your performance: Gamemode

Gamemode is a tool which might improve your gaming depending on your system: to install it and try it, follow the instructions spunout enjoyer wrote here: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/1248084?n=61
(great job <3)

If you notice your games are actually running worse than before, just disable its rule on Lutris/don't use it when starting the game.

Even lower latency: gonX's PipeWire settings

If after installing osu! your latency sounds strange and you want an even lower one, we'll apply gonX's PipeWire "patch" (credits to him and don't forget to thank him for the help he always delivers with others on ThePoon's discord <3)

First of all, to prevent any missing files, run this command:

 mkdir -p ~/.config/pipewire && cp -rv /usr/share/pipewire/* ~/.config/pipewire/ 

After doing this, you just need to edit the pipewire-pulse.conf file in ~/.config/pipewire/
I'll do it with nano:

sudo nano ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf

Here, you might want to push your latency as far as possible: starting from 256, try to find the closest value to 32 which makes your sound stable/not cracking. It depends on your pc, there's not a "default" value xD
I'll use 32 as an example, so edit the file like this:

context.modules = {
    pulse.min.req = 32/48000              # 0.67ms
    pulse.min.quantum = 32/48000          # 0.67ms
}

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Reboot, and the patch is done e.e

Moving your songs/skins from Windows

First of all, make sure you installed the ntfs-3g package needed to read Windows partitions:

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

sudo apt install ntfs-3g

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

sudo pacman -Sy ntfs-3g

Fedora:

sudo dnf install ntfs-3g

Then, just copy the Skins and Songs folder to your Linux osu! folder, that you can find at:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

PP Counter for OBS: gosumemory

Gosumemory actually works perfectly with this osu! guide e.e
Let's start from downloading the latest release from GitHub (you obv need to download the Linux version): https://github.com/l3lackShark/gosumemory/releases/
I'll go with amd64 as my PC is 64bits.

Now let's extract the file in the gosumemory folder: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

 cd ~/Downloads && mkdir gosumemory

 unzip -q gosumemory_linux_amd64.zip -d ~/Downloads/gosumemory/

Let's now run gosumemory once with:

 cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory && chmod +x gosumemory

 sudo ./gosumemory

Ignore the error and edit this file:

 sudo nano ~/Downloads/gosumemory/config.ini

Here, you need to edit these 2 lines like this: (replace username with your own)

 wine = true 

 path = /home/username/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/Songs

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X.

Our gosumemory is now working, but let's create a script to launch it whenever we want:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/gosumemory

Here, just paste these commands:

 #!/bin/sh

cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory
sudo ./gosumemory

And now just launch this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gosumemory

And we're done! You can now launch gosumemory whenever you want by just typing:

 gosumemory

in your terminal! e.e

Last thing to do is: adding it to OBS.
Here, I reccommend y'all to use the Snap version of OBS (https://snapcraft.io/obs-studio) as it provides everything you might need for streaming.
Now open your osu!, launch gosumemory and then open your browser at this link: http://127.0.0.1:24050

Here you should see all the different overlays available: let's say I choose this one



You need to copy that link and paste in it OBS > Sources > Browser like this:



And you're done! PP Counter is finally working xD

Tablet drivers on Linux: OpenTabletDriver (+ Fedora install)

OpenTabletDriver is the perfect alternative to any tablet driver.
Follow its guide to install it:
https://opentabletdriver.net/Wiki/Install/Linux

Fedora isn't supported yet as of right now, so you need to compile it from source to actually use it. It's a bit long, but I wrote every step here e.e:

Fedora instructions

Compiling OTD from source

Let's start from dependencies: (most of them should be already installed)

 sudo dnf install libX11 libXrandr libevdev gtk3 bash

Let's now install .NET 6 SDK which isn't available in repositories yet xd
Follow these commands:

 cd && wget https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/17b6759f-1af0-41bc-ab12-209ba0377779/e8d02195dbf1434b940e0f05ae086453/dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz && mkdir dotnet

 tar zxf dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz -C dotnet/

 export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet

Last thing to do is to build OpenTabletDriver:

 git clone https://github.com/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.git && cd OpenTabletDriver/

 chmod +x build.sh

Now replace username with your own:

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./build.sh

 chmod +x generate-rules.sh

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./generate-rules.sh

 sudo mv ./bin/99-opentabletdriver.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Let's now create a script to launch OTD:

OTD Scripts

Let's start:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otd

Here, you need to paste this: (change username with your own)

 !/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk/bin/Release/net6.0/linux-x64
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk.dll "$@"

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otd

Let's now create a script to launch the OTD daemon:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otddaemon

Paste this: (change username with your own)

 #!/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
    if [[ ! -v DISPLAY ]] && [[ ! -v WAYLAND_DISPLAY ]]
    then
        echo "DISPLAY and/or WAYLAND_DISPLAY is not set"
        exit 64
    fi
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Daemon.dll -c ./Configurations
else
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Console.dll "$@"
fi

Now just run this:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otddaemon

Our two scripts are now finally set up; let's create the last one to launch both together:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

Here, just paste this:

 #!/bin/bash
otddaemon &
P1=$!
otd &
P2=$!
wait $P1 $P2

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

You're finally done! Launch OTD by typing:

 opentabletdriver

in your terminal e.e

Example:

osu! installer can't download files/XComposite error etc.

All these errors come from missing dependencies: make sure to install them all (see Wine and dependencies)

No sound when opening osu!

You probably only need to reboot or reload PipeWire by doing this:

sudo systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse
sudo systemctl --user daemon-reload

then it shows Wine and tells me "rundll32.exe" "This application could not be started." while for osu I open it, get the same Wine error and if I click on "No" it opens osu just fine but for some reason I get 10ms of input lag and my fps box is orange

I'm running EndeavourOS Atlantis with KDE Plasma

First of all:

osu-wine

is the command to launch the game, and the from the logs you sent it doesn’t seem like you used the custom Wine build, so check again also following the Youtube video.

10ms isn’t input lag but refers to the game’s one, so you need to install video drivers like said in here: [url] https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md[/url]

In the end, the fix for your cursor going to the 2nd monitor is this:

 WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/osu-wine/WINE.win32 wine reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Wine" /v HideWineExports /t REG_SZ /d Y

A little introduction:
osu! working fine on Linux has been a thing for many years now, especially thanks to ThePoon's patches and Franc[e]sco's guide, but thanks to PipeWire and to the latest custom builds it's actually even easier. Let's start 8^)

Prerequisites:

 sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

 sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"

 sudo dnf install wine

(if you're using other distros, give this a look https://www.gloriouseggroll.tv/how-to-get-out-of-wine-dependency-hell/)

also make sure you installed the right drivers for your gpu:
https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

Let's begin from Latency:

Latency: Installing Pipewire

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

To install Pipewire on Debian, just follow these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pipewire
sudo apt install libspa-0.2-bluetooth
sudo apt install pipewire-audio-client-libraries
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio
systemctl --user --now enable pipewire-media-session.service pipewire pipewire-pulse

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

Remove PulseAudio:

sudo pacman -Rdd pulseaudio

And install PipeWire:

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa wireplumber

And then just reboot and you should be done.

Fedora:

Well, Fedora's latest versions already ship with Pipewire xD you might want to check doing this:

 sudo dnf install pulseaudio-utils

 pactl info

And if you see Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire) you're good to go.

After doing this, you should be already done with Pipewire

Now let's install osu! and set up our Wine:

Installing osu! (All distros)

To install osu!, we'll just use Forefront's package on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine). His package is the most stable one I've ever tried, so huge grats and credits to him e.e

Installing the game is just as simple as this:

git clone https://gitlab.com/osu-wine/osu-wine

cd osu-wine

sudo ./install.sh

osu-wine

The game is now working, but we need to change the Wine version to an osu! specific one.
To do this, let's download the wine-osu 7.0 package with gonX's patches from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xgJIe18ccBx6yjPcmBxDbTnS1XxwrAcc/view?usp=sharing

Once you've done that, you need to extract the package.
You can do it like this: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Now let's copy the extracted folder to the /opt directory:

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

And let's edit the /etc/osu-wine.conf file:

sudo nano /etc/osu-wine.conf

Here, you need to uncomment the PATH line at the end, just like this:

## Path, DO NOT EDIT THIS VARIABLE, ONLY UNCOMMENT
PATH="/opt/wine-osu/bin:$PATH"

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Now use this last command to copy the .conf file:

cp /etc/osu-wine.conf ~/.osu-wine.conf

Last but not least: run this to fix drag and drop songs:

sudo wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Zu5vK-ACs1KhF4Rju1HAIIPb6XC42s9X' -O /usr/bin/osu-wine

The installation is now finished! You need just to open osu! and run it.

But before playing, the last thing you need to do is to set your universal offset to -25ms, so that your osu! will sound just like on Windows.



Warning: -25ms is what I generally recommend, but try to find your sweet spot from -40ms!

And you're done! You can now play osu!



Check the troubleshooting box if you need any help or just write me on Twitter (@MarshNello) [OS in the ss is Arch Linux GNOME]
And that's it! Enjoy playing osu! on your Linux!

Got any error? (GLIBC, Game not starting, input lag, random crashes etc.)
Check the box below:

Extra info and troubleshooting:

Open me \o/:

Game won't start/ntdll.so (GLIBC_2.32) error

This error actually occurs a lot when using Ubuntu or Debian-based distros. whose GLIBC isn't updated.
Before doing anything, upgrading your system might fix depending on your distro:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

If that didn't help, we will need to change some things xD

Assuming you've followed the guide until the end, let's delete wine-osu first.

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Let's now download another version, working on older GLIBCs as well.
Make sure curl is installed first:

sudo apt install curl

And now:

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hwsnemo:/packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hwsnemo:packaged-wine-osu/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_hwsnemo_packaged-wine-osu.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine-osu

You can now play perfectly fine e.e

(Instructions might change depending on your distro, you can check yourself here:
https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahwsnemo%3Apackaged-wine-osu&package=wine-osu)

Input lag/Compositing

First of all, if you're gaming on Linux make sure to install all the necessary dependencies listed above (see Wine and dependencies)

Otherwise, what really affects input lag is desktop compositing, which is active by default on many desktop environments even when gaming.
If you're using Lutris to run osu!, you can disable it from the rule as you can see here:
(thanks TheKej for the reply below <3)


If you are not, check the other box for "How to add osu! to Lutris" xd

How to add osu! to Lutris

If you don't know what Lutris is, just google it and install it for your own system (it's really simple).

Now, if you're never used Lutris before, open it and then run this command:

cd ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/ && mkdir wine

This will create our wine folder; then, let's copy the Wine version we downloaded beforehand here as well:

sudo cp -r /opt/wine-osu/ ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine

Close Lutris and open it again.
Click on the + button you can find on the top left of your Lutris and just write osu! (or whatever you want) in the name. For the runner instead, just choose Wine (click yes to whatever pops up). It should look like this:



After this, go on the "Game options" box and just set it up like this:

Executable:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/osu!.exe

Working directory:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

Wine prefix:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/WINE.win32

Example:



Now let's go to the "Runner options" box and here select "wine-osu":



Last but not least, let's disable our desktop effects aka compositor in "System options" (enable advanced options):



And we're done! You can now run your osu! through Lutris as well!

osu! disappears/crashes randomly

These random crashes have been a thing for many people as they depended on a wine bug, and what those have in common (besides System.AccessViolationException) is OSSOCK.select. As I've read on ThePoon's ds (ty openglfreak), this socket code crash has been fixed in the latest Wine 7.0-rc3, and also listed in Wine 7.0-rc4's bug fixes.



So I built Wine 7.0-rc4 with gonX's patches and it seems to work like a charm xD

Replacing it is really easy:
Delete your current wine-osu version:

sudo rm -rf /opt/wine-osu/

Then download the latest wine-osu here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Ikp0x2vVPIy0wBcC2bPvTJSlaqCwfW9/view?usp=sharing

And just install it with the same commands as the guide:

cd ~/Downloads

tar -xf wine-osu-7.0-rc4_staging-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

sudo cp -r ~/Downloads/opt/wine-osu/ /opt

Doing this should fix those crashes while playing, just let me know if it really works as I've never gotten many of them xD

For Mint/Ubuntu users with GLIBC error using the other package:

hwsnemo has already updated the wine-osu package to 7.0-rc3 so updating your system should do the thing (or just do all the steps in the box again).

Optimize your performance: Gamemode

Gamemode is a tool which might improve your gaming depending on your system: to install it and try it, follow the instructions spunout enjoyer wrote here: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/1248084?n=61
(great job <3)

If you notice your games are actually running worse than before, just disable its rule on Lutris/don't use it when starting the game.

Even lower latency: gonX's PipeWire settings

If after installing osu! your latency sounds strange and you want an even lower one, we'll apply gonX's PipeWire "patch" (credits to him and don't forget to thank him for the help he always delivers with others on ThePoon's discord <3)

First of all, to prevent any missing files, run this command:

 mkdir -p ~/.config/pipewire && cp -rv /usr/share/pipewire/* ~/.config/pipewire/ 

After doing this, you just need to edit the pipewire-pulse.conf file in ~/.config/pipewire/
I'll do it with nano:

sudo nano ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf

Here, you might want to push your latency as far as possible: starting from 256, try to find the closest value to 32 which makes your sound stable/not cracking. It depends on your pc, there's not a "default" value xD
I'll use 32 as an example, so edit the file like this:

context.modules = {
    pulse.min.req = 32/48000              # 0.67ms
    pulse.min.quantum = 32/48000          # 0.67ms
}

Once you've done this, just save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.
Reboot, and the patch is done e.e

Moving your songs/skins from Windows

First of all, make sure you installed the ntfs-3g package needed to read Windows partitions:

Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS etc..):

sudo apt install ntfs-3g

Arch Linux (Manjaro, Endeavour OS, etc.):

sudo pacman -Sy ntfs-3g

Fedora:

sudo dnf install ntfs-3g

Then, just copy the Skins and Songs folder to your Linux osu! folder, that you can find at:

~/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU

PP Counter for OBS: gosumemory

Gosumemory actually works perfectly with this osu! guide e.e
Let's start from downloading the latest release from GitHub (you obv need to download the Linux version): https://github.com/l3lackShark/gosumemory/releases/
I'll go with amd64 as my PC is 64bits.

Now let's extract the file in the gosumemory folder: (remember to change "Downloads" to your language's name if needed!)

 cd ~/Downloads && mkdir gosumemory

 unzip -q gosumemory_linux_amd64.zip -d ~/Downloads/gosumemory/

Let's now run gosumemory once with:

 cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory && chmod +x gosumemory

 sudo ./gosumemory

Ignore the error and edit this file:

 sudo nano ~/Downloads/gosumemory/config.ini

Here, you need to edit these 2 lines like this: (replace username with your own)

 wine = true 

 path = /home/username/.local/share/osu-wine/OSU/Songs

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X.

Our gosumemory is now working, but let's create a script to launch it whenever we want:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/gosumemory

Here, just paste these commands:

 #!/bin/sh

cd ~/Downloads/gosumemory
sudo ./gosumemory

And now just launch this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gosumemory

And we're done! You can now launch gosumemory whenever you want by just typing:

 gosumemory

in your terminal! e.e

Last thing to do is: adding it to OBS.
Here, I reccommend y'all to use the Snap version of OBS (https://snapcraft.io/obs-studio) as it provides everything you might need for streaming.
Now open your osu!, launch gosumemory and then open your browser at this link: http://127.0.0.1:24050

Here you should see all the different overlays available: let's say I choose this one



You need to copy that link and paste in it OBS > Sources > Browser like this:



And you're done! PP Counter is finally working xD

Tablet drivers on Linux: OpenTabletDriver (+ Fedora install)

OpenTabletDriver is the perfect alternative to any tablet driver.
Follow its guide to install it:
https://opentabletdriver.net/Wiki/Install/Linux

Fedora isn't supported yet as of right now, so you need to compile it from source to actually use it. It's a bit long, but I wrote every step here e.e:

Fedora instructions

Compiling OTD from source

Let's start from dependencies: (most of them should be already installed)

 sudo dnf install libX11 libXrandr libevdev gtk3 bash

Let's now install .NET 6 SDK which isn't available in repositories yet xd
Follow these commands:

 cd && wget https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/17b6759f-1af0-41bc-ab12-209ba0377779/e8d02195dbf1434b940e0f05ae086453/dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz && mkdir dotnet

 tar zxf dotnet-sdk-6.0.100-linux-x64.tar.gz -C dotnet/

 export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet

Last thing to do is to build OpenTabletDriver:

 git clone https://github.com/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.git && cd OpenTabletDriver/

 chmod +x build.sh

Now replace username with your own:

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./build.sh

 chmod +x generate-rules.sh

 sudo env "PATH=$PATH:/home/username/dotnet/" ./generate-rules.sh

 sudo mv ./bin/99-opentabletdriver.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Let's now create a script to launch OTD:

OTD Scripts

Let's start:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otd

Here, you need to paste this: (change username with your own)

 !/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk/bin/Release/net6.0/linux-x64
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.UX.Gtk.dll "$@"

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otd

Let's now create a script to launch the OTD daemon:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/otddaemon

Paste this: (change username with your own)

 #!/bin/bash
cd /home/username/OpenTabletDriver/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
    if [[ ! -v DISPLAY ]] && [[ ! -v WAYLAND_DISPLAY ]]
    then
        echo "DISPLAY and/or WAYLAND_DISPLAY is not set"
        exit 64
    fi
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Daemon.dll -c ./Configurations
else
    dotnet ./OpenTabletDriver.Console.dll "$@"
fi

Now just run this:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/otddaemon

Our two scripts are now finally set up; let's create the last one to launch both together:

 sudo nano /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

Here, just paste this:

 #!/bin/bash
otddaemon &
P1=$!
otd &
P2=$!
wait $P1 $P2

Save with CTRL+O and exit with CTRL+X; now execute this one:

 sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/opentabletdriver

You're finally done! Launch OTD by typing:

 opentabletdriver

in your terminal e.e

Example:

osu! installer can't download files/XComposite error etc.

All these errors come from missing dependencies: make sure to install them all (see Wine and dependencies)

No sound when opening osu!

You probably only need to reboot or reload PipeWire by doing this:

sudo systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse
sudo systemctl --user daemon-reload

then it shows Wine and tells me "rundll32.exe" "This application could not be started." while for osu I open it, get the same Wine error and if I click on "No" it opens osu just fine but for some reason I get 10ms of input lag and my fps box is orange

I'm running EndeavourOS Atlantis with KDE Plasma

First of all:

osu-wine

is the command to launch the game, and the from the logs you sent it doesn’t seem like you used the custom Wine build, so check again also following the Youtube video.

10ms isn’t input lag but refers to the game’s one, so you need to install video drivers like said in here: [url] https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md[/url]

In the end, the fix for your cursor going to the 2nd monitor is this:

 WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/osu-wine/WINE.win32 wine reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Wine" /v HideWineExports /t REG_SZ /d Y

welp I did everything the way like in the tutorial idk maybe something failed while trying to get the custom Wine build but thanks for the info

I installed the drivers and rebooted and now osu can't find "graphics context" and it throws this error:

EDIT: It appears Lutris is using wine 7.3 staging when running osu and me running osu through terminal with "osu-wine" command makes it open with wine 7.0 with the patches and it works absolutely fine

I'll try it again a few more time so if i get it while using osu-wine I will report about it here by editing this.

I just do alt enter to re-renter fullscreen and it fixes itself, and also this wont happen if you hide your panel (at least on Cinnamon)

I usually alt-tab till it's become normal instead since it also happen from time to time while playing a beatmap. And I don't think osu! allow alt-enter while in a beatmap
Also how can you even alt-enter in the editor in the first place? I usually just press f5 to play test then esc instead.

I had that same issue with gnome as well, but it never happened again since I switched using kde plasma

I have try to switch to kde plasma with arch linux once (the actual arch linux and not manjaro), but there's no luck there. As I don't know how to switch the driver to nvidia and completely remove nouveau (as wine need nouveau over there for no reason)
As when I reinstall nouveau I think nouveau try to use the non existent Nvidia Optimus on my Nvidia GeForce 940MX (like I only have 50fps max with nouveau over there, and the same thing happen when I turn on Optimus in lutris on Pop_OS!) so I have to switch back to gnome on Pop_OS!. And I'm not curious enough to install kde on Pop_OS! since I don't know how to reinstall Pop_OS! environment if I did.

nah maybe the new 21.10 prevent you from deleting the environment

Sooo yep I saw that clip and that is probably some cosmic-related thing (I think Pop_OS uses cosmic instead of gnome?) but well even on gnome stuff like that was common

I’d just say alt-tabbing until it gets fine is the best way to fix; however you can also install KDE on Pop_OS following the guide here: https://support.system76.com/articles/desktop-environment/

It’s gonna be vanilla KDE with no customization but you’ll have it working
