Exactly, that's what I mean. In my reply to TimberWolf some posts back, I was pointing out the runtimes, and that it's using "Steam Linux Runtime 4.0".
This time I've attached the screenshot of both the page itself, and the actual compatibility setting I'm using. I'm not so sure now after your post, but as far as I was concerned, it already was running natively on Linux :-D
Since CachyOS is Linux and I'm running a native Linux version of Steam on Linux, and the licence Steam is showing me is (as far as I'm aware) my perpetual "SteamOS" licence for Substance Painter. I just assumed it must be running natively on Linux. Also bear in mind that I'm not having crashes. Perhaps this is why. Perhaps you're running in a different mode to me. But yup, as can be seen in the screenshots, it does state (even in brackets) that it's running on "Steam Linux Runtime Version 4.0" .
Steam Linux Runtime 4.0 is not native. That's the whole Proton/Wine layer. You need to select "Legacy Runtime 1.0" to get the native Linux version.
I think we can safely assume you were NOT running a native Linux version. Why do you think a Windows regedit change got rid of an error message in Substance Painter?
True, but how confusing then to label a Windows Runtime as a "Linux Runtime".
Legacy Runtime 1.0 won't even run the software, it just cancels itself out.
As I said that time when I gave DSP as an example, I think logically, which is why I don't get along with Linux in a technical sense. Linux to me is just pure nightmare fuel in a technical sense. I honestly cannot think of anything more confusing to learn than Linux, but at the same time, I'm damn glad it exists!
Anyway, I just did the RegEdit thing for the Paging File and unfortunately it hasn't worked. I set the minimum to 20000 MB and the max to 120000 MB assuming those settings will give access to between 2 GB and 12 GB (approx). The message in Substance Painter however is exactly the same, telling me the minimum allowable value is around 18000 MB.
I'm surprised though, cause I thought it would work after the success of the other RegEdit operation.
Might need a restart, not sure editing a page file in the registry would instantly work in Windows either. Try restarting Linux or maybe this works
I' already do a hard restart by default when messing with this stuff.
I think I'm going to play around with Substance Painter a few days.
At least it does work, and that's the main thing.
I have to say that I've been quite eager to try out Linux once more after a years long hiatus, wanting to use Daz within. But I recently tried converting an arcade PC over to Batocera from Windows and oddly experienced some regret. After some exploration, I discovered that there are things like Windows Atlas OS and its ilk, but then I found that there is something ever more remarkable - a version of Windows 11 that is largely but not completely without the bloat and telemetry that's included with the Home/Pro versions that you can have without using something to strip out everything that's unnecessary. It's Windows 11 Education, and I put it on my arcade machine. Incredibly, it does come with copilot but by default it's turned off. There isn't much bloat at all and I'm given to understand that there is still a bit that can be stripped out should I wish, and group policies are relatively easily managed to control things. So for now I think I'm still going to shelve my sojurn into Linux, even though I was going to test it out first on my arcade machine with Batocera, then my Virtual Pinball with Ubuntu and go from there on my other rigs. Now I'm just going to go with this new thing I've discovered and can be more comfortable and compatible with. I still hope to one day see more support for Linux from Daz... or any really. But this is a quite good thread, I just wanted to mention what I'd discovered so recently, not disuade anyone from going the Linux route.
