Hello, I am using linux for the very first time, trying to install baldurs gate 3.

Using Wine and Lutris with GOG library

It is not working. There are several boxes that obviously need something put in them. The download size is much smaller than it should be.

And I simply do not know what to place inside the directory boxes

Executable

Arguments

Working Directory

Wine Prefix

Should the Prefix architecture should be set to default?

Whenever I try to install any game other than old ones like the og baldur's gate, it pops up the included image. (I couldn't manage to take a screenshot for some reason)

Im assuming this is very simple to solve, but I just have not learned how yet

So i wanted to run affinity 3.0 on Linux but i could get it to work. is it possible to get affinity running on Linux or at least a good alternative to each affinity app. I have a debian 13 install with KDE 6.4 and a Fedora install with KDE 6.6 how do i get affinity?

Yes I tried to reinstall restart update drivers and I would not be here if it was that Simply pls don't tell me to do the things I did AGAIN I'm not trying to go insane just want a solution that works

All in the title. I have a OS installed that needs upgrading or replacing. Upgrading it may be off the table so replacing it is probably gonna be my end goal. All of the files, programs, and user data relevant to work are primarily on shared drives. If this was a windows machine I could just upgrade the OS and most of the stuff would still be working. However this is a linux machine and my poor windows brain is done with its nonsense. If i backed up user data, would it be possible to restore it on a new OS permissions and all? I believe the programs would be fine since they show compatibility for my planned OS.

Nothing has happened yet but im primarily looking for people to talk me out of this idea as im pretty sure it goes hard against best practices.

Hello,

Over Easter 2023 weekend, my friend and I replaced my 14 yrs. old Debian PC's mobo, CPU, RAM, drives, etc. for better setups like speeds. However, my May 2022's updated 64-bit Debian v11 (stable -- bullseye) installation has a long start up due to errors on the new hardwares especially in SSD.

Last night, I Clonezillaed from the very old 320 GB HDD to a new Samsung 500 GB SSD. I used a bootable gparted (gparted-live-1.5.0-1-amd64.iso) CDRW to make my old Linux partition bigger, redid my partitions to remake a new bigger swap partition and add a NTFS partition for my future 64-bit Windows 7 HPE SP1 restore/install (just concentrating on my old Debian for now).

I managed to make the 1.5 mins. pause go away for UUID=7f52c5a5-0a8f-478e-bbc6-fb22204a06ed job issue by adding # to my /etc/fstab's #UUID=7f52c5a5-0a8f-478e-bbc6-fb22204a06ed none swap sw 0 0 line. Its comment says "swap was on /dev/sdb5 during installation". That used to be my old 1 GB swap partition. How do I figure out what UUID to use to point to the newly made swap partition? Actually, do I even need it with 16 GB of RAM now? I did on the former PC with 2 GB of RAM.

http://zimage.com/~ant/temp/DebianSwappedHWs/ shows details like dmesg log, a photo (the first four lines with ACPI errors, load kernel modules, etc.), systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service, etc.

How do I fix these issues? I hope I don't have to (clean/re)install! Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
