dxvk is available through the distro, if you’re on an ubuntu or debian-based distro just run sudo apt install dxvk. vulkan should come pre-installed on any modern distro.

i’d highly recommend using some kind of manager, if you don’t want lutris than use playonlinux which is more minimal. this keeps things organized and lets you use different wine versions and tweaks for each game. for example, some newer games need proton-experimental or an otherwise very recent version to run, but you may not want to replace your system wine with this.

I could understand requiring an account with Jitsi itself, but needing that account to be Facebook, Google, or MS seems to be at odds with the type of person who would use an encrypted video chat in the first place.

Facebook is both spyware and evil but it seems strange to call it “corrupt”. It wasn’t corrupted, this is what the zuck wanted.

i had plenty of physical space in my computer case and didn’t want to spend a huge amount on drives, so i have my OS and some games on a SSD and have added a bunch of old enterprise HDDs (6TB, 3TB, and 2TB) to store media and games on. having only an SSD seems overly expensive if you want to store large amounts

I really doubt that the problem is with your actual graphic drivers, but with the wine version of directx. first, make sure you have Vulkan and DXVK installed and working on your computer as it’s required for directx 11. you could also try older wine versions, or you can see if you can force hearthstone to run under directx9 if it’s still supported:

In the Game Settings (in the Battle.net app) you need to enable the command line argument and then type this into it: -force-d3d9

a few years ago when i didn’t have a Vulkan-capable GPU i would have to make a lot of windows games run in D3D9
