The OS doesn't lag but the games do. Like it can run Minecraft Java pretty fine, but sucks to run lazer and sometimes even stable client.
I'm just confused how you have trouble running stable compared to Minecraft Java, to be honest.

maybe he's playing at very low settings or something... idk... im 99% sure that osu is a less demanding game compared to minecraft.

like this is pretty low end specs tbh, at that point its most likely the hardware's fault that causing the games to lag.

Even then, Minecraft Java Edition is known to be a beast of a game that can put down systems with a 4090 in it, at least without mods.

yeah i think rendering distance mostly contributes to that, at least it can be changed to low for the one's with 2gb ram pc's to high for the ultimate gamers.

Speaking of Siglus VNs. I had no problems running it personally, though I did use a nocd crack.

I forgot to mention that the stable client lags pretty rarely. That's my sister's pc specs. The PC which I have is a BIT better. My PC specs are:

4 GB DDR3 RAM
Intel Celeron J3060 @1.60 Ghz Dual-Core Processor
Intel Integrated Graphics(128 MB VRAM I think...)
Windows 10

It's an All-In-One PC which can run osu!stable, Minecraft, among us, DDLC and other low end games pretty nicely BUT it sucks in lazer. Like the performer drop is HIGHLY noticeable.

i used to have an All in one PC, they really do suck in the gaming side, but there cheap and serviceable enough for normal stuff like studies or certain work.

Sounds like a (relative to what I have) previous Saga Planets VN since I don't remember any brand that used the Siglus engine with AlphaROM, but thanks for the hint. I still may have to experiment, but that means I could cross Floral Flowlove as OK.

That's, I think, 3 of 5 good to go: Floral Flowlove, DEEMO -Reborn- and, somehow, DJMAX RESPECT V since XIGNCODE3 actually went on to support Linux, apparently (excellent work Valve!!).

Oh and also no one besides extremely posh and somewhat weird people say call it GNU/Linux.

Enough of that bullshit, you guys absolutely ruined the chance this topic could be moved to General Discussion.

I should start looking into other distros as well, though, not just stick to Pop!_OS...

I used Linux back in college.
And the OS feels like it's eerily clean that I feel like it's illegal to use it for games or something that's not of professional use.

Typical Tourist Behavior.
There's a reason why this is an Off Topic sub. Derailment and random replies are inevitable. 😊
And GD is dead, so it's better the thread to be here UwU

Even though this is a good enough thread to be put on General Discussion, OP put it in OT first. You don't typically see threads getting moved out of OT unless it's a language issue.

I had installed Mint today. Not because of this thread however, I have ubuntu installed on a different PC. For now it feels somewhat better.

I don't understand anything about Linux and I'm not going to read all of this. So I quickly researched Linux on the internet and found this:

I think I'll take that as tl;dr lol. /j

The thread wasn't meant to be in GD, so I don't know why you're feeling so mad.

If Pop!_OS doesn't work for you, sure thing, look for more distros. If it does, don't distrohop just for the sake of doing that.

Oh. I see. I think there's a way to get that working under Linux natively, but I don't know.

Oh don't worry, I mean to see if there's any better choice before committing to avoid distro hopping.

Great guide for convincing players to try Linux. Although I advise to use a more up-to-date distro like Fedora or Ubuntu since Linux Mint updates only periodically which would cause issues on people that run on more newer hardware (which is common nowadays).

I've seen countless people trying Linux for the first time through Linux Mint and almost all of them encounter issues. The main cause of their issues is mostly due to an outdated kernel out of the box and they had to research for hours when simply using a later kernel version from the Kernel Manager fixes all of their issues. A lot of first-time Linux users fail to encounter this solution and just quits overall before they can come across it.

As of now, Linux Mint uses a more up-to-date kernel that supports most hardware out right now, which makes it fine to use right now, but it'll get outdated sooner than you think and in the future, the same thing will happen again due to newer hardware coming out every year while Linux Mint updates every 2 years.

I recommend Fedora or Fedora-based distros. They're very beginner-friendly and the only hard part of using Fedora is from the installer. Once you've passed that, you'll run into little to no issues using your PC. You can stay up-to-date while being very stable with Fedora.

Linux mint "edge" edition exists. It shipped with latest kernel iirc

Also Fedora sucks for me. Of all editions I tried, only the Gnome ISO managed to boot past the bootloading screen Other ones have checksum errors

Either work in my eyes. I have used Linux Mint as my primary distro back when I was starting out and it worked more than okay. I have used Fedora Plasma Spin too for a little bit recently and it worked as expected.

So, I already use linux as my main computer, but I recently started mapping in the Lazer version on linux.

It's pretty fun, But I can't figure out how to actually upload any maps when using linux.
EnigmaticG
Hi,

You need to run the stable version to upload (I use wine to run it), since uploading beatmaps isn't implemented in lazer yet. I just do all my mapping in lazer, then export a file and move it to my stable folder.

osu! (not lazer) works good on FreeBSD 14.1 through 32-bit Wine! I did winetricks mono_remove, dotnet20, dotnet40, and dotnet45, but I'm pretty sure only dotnet45 is needed.

Can't use Lazer because no native FreeBSD compatibility, it's win64-only (FreeBSD Wine is either 32 or 64, no both, I chose 32) and it won't compile (something dotnet-related iirc doesn't support FreeBSD).

Great to hear that osu! stable runs under BSD. I don't think peppy will waste time making Lazer compatible on BSD, mostly because BSD isn't ran all that much as a desktop OS, like Linux. The fact Lazer even supports Linux is great though.

Yeah. Try it out in a VM, see if you like it and then decide if you're gonna switch.
