For all my #Linux friends, or those looking to get away from #Microsoft #Windows11 I've recently found the most fantastic program (Note that it's in Beta still) called #WinBoat
It lets you run Windows applications windowless through #kvm using #Docker on your Linux desktop, giving it an almost native application feel.
If anyone knows a way to get these dev's sponsored they need help working out GPU bypass so that #LinuxGaming becomes an option as well.
what are the chances that I can get Rocksmith 2014 to work in Bazzite? Rocksmith launches fine but can't see the USB guitar dongle, and Bazzite can see the dongle just fine and it shows up as an audio input. I also tried Guitarix and while it functioned, there was a noticeable and frustrating delay between playing and hearing.
I found these instructions but bazzite works different than fedora:
