you see i am an apprentice so i don’t have a work phone yet, but i need Whatsapp to communicate with my superiors and all

yeah you see, the issue is, i need Whatsapp for my family, friends and work. i’d rather not use WhatsApp but i aint got a choice (yet, afaik Whatsapp will be forced to work with other apps)

no, i live in Germany

WhatsApp just says i dont have the official version, even tho i got the apk litterally from their own damn website

if you use a web app might as well just use your browser

and i cant even get Whatsapp to run because my phones bootloader is unlocked… life is unfair

Sadly i don’t know, as i am using hyprland.

i use nordzy-hyprcursor via the hyprcursor application

i was so convinced that i had to do something hacky cause its wayland that i didnt even consider that the solution could be an already implemented feature. thank you very much

edit: only that it seems to work with anything else just not soundux

no thats the thing, steam works without a problem. it is only when i do it NOT through steam where i get issues.

but i play mainly on windows anyway, i just wanted to try it out a bit out of boredom and got surprisingly good results.

i just wait how the windows kernel restrictions influence kernel level anti cheat, and depending on the result i may switch to full linux again if kernel AC breaks and devs are forced to use “normal” AC again

Yeah it’s just games🤷 if push comes to shive i can just reinstall 'em i was just confused by the difference in behaviour depending wether the system or steam mounts it

This could very well be the anwser. there are in fact c: and z: in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/0/pfx/dosdevices

although i couldn’t find an indicator that those are actually in use when launching a game through steam

Ah ok i think i get why it doesn’t work through the auto mount, but i still don’t understand why it works completely fine if i mount it through steam? What is different when steam mounts it?

I am running arch and Firefox and i can confirm i am miserable.

I love it tho

Well that is one yes. There are more than just one

Why? There a non gnu linux distros

It works well enough for my game drive. At least i have yet to encounter any problem

So i normally go with ext4, however windows can’t really access ext4 drives so you’d need to find a file system that both support if you want to access the drive/partition from windows. My drive with all the games is ntfs for example which works in Windows and Linux. (At least for normal storage, idk if you can boot linux from it although i wouldn’t see why not)

I assume this continues the boot process even if a drive is not found or something? Because if so you just solved another unrelated issue of mine while also saving me from ½ - 1 hour of troubleshooting/researching

I installed windows on an external drive for gaming. Now my arch install is stuck at a start job for some drive, wich causes it to time out and not boot completely. Couldn’t be assed to fix it yesterday.

Also i installed nvim in windows for exactly that
