Any Linux users that play osu! (any mode)?

As the title implies, I'd like to know if there are Linux users that play osu!. I know that The Poon plays using wine staging with his patches on Linux (I think Arch, but I might be wrong). I understand if you use Windows, though. Most people use Windows.

I also use Linux to play osu!. For those that speak Linux (Specifically Arch), I use Garuda Linux, and I don't have many problems on my end. It's not that hard to get into if you're interested in making some changes to how you use your computer (I personally recommend Manjaro [another Arch-based distro] if ever you were interested in trying Linux out). It's easy to learn the differences, since I'm a Linux user through and through.

I use Windows at my grandparents' place (It's an old ROG laptop by the way). I don't play osu! on it because of the bad specs by today's standards.

hello there.
also, manjaro is trash. it's maintainers don't know what they are doing.
if you want arch but too lazy to install arch yourself, use endeavour os.

i mainly use windows to play tho, but well depend on my mood i might switch to Linux to play (I use Arch Linux and unpatched wine-staging)

there are a few from what I saw on Poon's server, although I think his build of Wine that he provided is out-of-date. there are some other methods that one remove audio latency on Linux and add a lot more stability

used Manjaro and it was horrible for tinkering. they package default settings for their DEs into packages, meaning that if you want to install, say Plasma, but you went with GNOME for the first install of the OS, you will probably have a nightmare of settings and removing of packages you have to get through to get Plasma working correctly, most likely damaging your GNOME or other DEs stuff in the process. they also package important stuff into special packages for them and use all sorts of bling to make the installation look nicer but it is a mess to get remove once installed.
EndeavourOS is more or less a clean install of Arch with some stuff added to make it easy for new people to get going. depends on if you install it with the online installer or not. it does require some terminal knowledge as from what I saw on my online install, it doesn't come with any GUI package manager and pacman requires some reading before you can get going with it. Most recommend Manjaro because they doubt they will do weird stuff like install and configure DEs and WMs for their system.

tl;dr: yeah, Manjaro is weird, but Endeavour requires a bit more terminal knowledge than a standard Manjaro and the average new Linux user won't probably do weird stuff with their install

Manjaro didn't treat me that badly for me. Yet again, I haven't used it for osu!.

That's quite cool that you use Arch sometimes. I use Garuda (Which is Arch-based) myself, and it doesn't treat me that bad in terms of tinkering.

For me, I'd recommend Garuda Linux KDE in that situation. It's Arch Based, and easy for beginners to get into. A good chunk of it is GUI based, so that's not all that bad. By the way, what method are you referring t? I ask because I used winetricks for dotnet40, and some other fixes from YourSandwich (Osu Sounds on YouTube).

Uhh, personally I use gonx wine on lutris, since using standalone wasn't that stable for me.
I have a guide for installing osu on arch (plus some latency optimizations), if you're interested.

I installed osu-wine using Pipewire, but that didn't work. I'll check it out.

Edit: I tried this method after a fresh Garuda install (Because Pipewire decided to throw a fit), and osu! works for me without many flaws.

You might be better off asking for help on poon's Discord in that case.

I'd say that special build of osu isn't necessary unless you experience a lot of crashes. Wine Staging with every depen is good enough for casual play

Wrong. There are some pretty annoying (and frequent) crashes that patched wine fixes.

I don't use Discord, nor do I plan on getting an account. Sorry.

Update: I came up with a decent method for me on how I set up osu!stable on Linux. If you'd like, I'll make another post about it (I'll still be doing it regardless).
