I did. Which is why I commented. You literally said “there are no wrong answers” 🤣

You’re going to be super disappointed to learn that most people who have been using Linux as daily driver for decades just use whatever works. Linus himself just uses Fedora.

Nobody that has real shit to do wants to worry about things not working or causing issues. Immutable is pointless, Nix is something I use for work, Ubuntu is dead to me…etc.

Post the output of nvidia-smi when the fans start to engage. Will be helpful for next steps.

Edit: just some other tweaks to try and eliminate certain issues:

1. Try running with just a single monitor connected
2. Disable Steam Overlay
3. Close Discord if running
4. Add “-threads 4” to your launch options and see if that helps

Or played Metal Gear. WTF.

🤦…here we go again

Somebody’s about to do something fucking horrific again.

Not sure what you even mean, but OP seems to be struggling with just installing Wine.

99% of everything should work right off the bat with any Prefix Manager, and only in RARE cases does tweaking Wine directly ever come into to play.

I think you have it backwards.

Honestly, unless you know exactly what you’re doing, I wouldn’t run Wine directly.

Use a Wine Prefix manager like Proton, Lutris, Heroic …etc. It makes everything pretty dead simple, and keeps all your Wine stuff isolated.

Nix is simply a different distro with a declarative composition for its package management. You won’t be getting different behavior from package selections or anything like that if it’s a bug in the software itself.

Just letting you know.

It’s no hard to break than anything else. I’m not sure you understand what the issue is here…

Probablyrtcwake

In what ways to they fail? I’ve used LibreOffice forever and don’t have any specific complaints, but I’m definitely not using any of the more advanced features.

DRBD…that is an acronym I have not heard in a long time.

I have nothing but horrid memories of fucking with this on Blade+SAN deployments. It never worked right, and the only support that existed was from LINBIT. Near-zero documentation for operating it.

Every modern distro keeps previous kernel boot entries available at boot time. You don’t need to use snapshots to simply not boot a potentially problematic kernel update.

There are literally near zero reasons to ever have to reinstall any Linux install. Moving to a more complex distribution isn’t going to solve your problem here, which is just learning a different workflow. That workflow being more akin to software development workflows: if something fucks up, just revert.

If I get a minute I’ll see if I can replicate, but my initial guesses are:

1. Hardware cursor mismatch: try disabling hardware acceleration on the client OR see if there is a setting for forcing or disabling hardware cursors
2. Check the CLI arguments for cursor specific options and mapping to movement. Sometimes there are movement acceleration tweaks that mess things up

Edit: also maybe give this a shot. https://www.azdanov.dev/articles/2025/how-to-create-a-virtual-display-for-sunshine-on-arch-linux

Not sure what you mean about the mouse cursor not showing up. You mean you can interact with the mouse, but just see a cursor? Or no matter which direction you move the mouse the cursor doesn’t get there?

You sure after setting up the virtual display you’re going through the steps to setup the orientation of monitors?

Might want to post it as a video link and not just a text link

Well if you don’t understand how to make the “ideal thing” work properly, it sounds like you need whatever the fuck works, no?

It’s a solution. Use it.

You can still get GL.inet routers even on Amazon as of right now, and they’re on sale (for obvious reasons).

There’s the OpenWRT One router that is basically just a Banana Pi board.

There’s lots. Just search around.
