  • It’s slightly harder than Windows but not really hard either. I usually use Lutris like this:

    1. Create a folder for the game in ~/Games/
    2. Open that new folder in the terminal and run WINEPREFIX=$PWD winecfg to create a new wine prefix and then close winecfg
      • Maybe this could be done in Lutris too but I can’t check right now
    3. Put the pirated game into the c_drive folder (Hope I’m remembering the folder name correctly) in that new wine prefix
    4. Manually create a new game entry for the game using the information from the Lutris website (If you enter the exact same name and release year as on that website, you can click the reset button under each image and it will automatically download and select them) and select the installer .exe from the game folder as the game executable
    5. Start the game in Lutris and go through the installer
    6. After the installation is complete, edit the game entry again and select the .exe of the installed game as the executable
    7. Delete the pirated game folder (the one with the installer) from the c_drive folder, since we don’t need it anymore
    8. Now you can run the game from Lutris or right click it and select the option to create an application menu entry

    Actually, I just read something in this comment section about the maintainer of Lutris rejecting PRs and rewriting them with AI which would be pretty shitty if true, so I might look into using something like Bottles instead but the process should be similar.











  • I have Stalwart installed and use an SMTP relay too. I can send and receive email just fine, never had an issue with that. The only thing that doesn’t really work is the account setup (when you add your account to an email client). It doesn’t detect the settings, so I have to add them manually and I have to ignore the certificate warning but maybe I’ll get around to fixing it someday.

    It makes sense why it is like that, at least in countries that were part of the Soviet Union. They wanted to build housing for everyone that still gave them a good quality of life. In order to do that quickly, they focused on making them nice on the inside while not really caring for what they looked like on the outside. They used new techniques (I don’t remember if they invented them or if that was already a thing) to mass produce parts for the houses beforehand, so they only needed to assemble them and didn’t need to put a lot of work into designing each building.
