Game Tips
Surfing is just air strafing. Here's why
Quake engine has ground and air acceleration, the main difference being the absence of friction specific to air movement. Strafing explanation, explanation as a blog post [adrianb.io]
Touching steep surfaces (ex. surf ramps) is defined as air movement, hence the speed, and the player sticks to a ramp simply by moving towards it.
Air acceleration, among other things, works per-tick, which is why the tickrate has a great impact.

Relevant Quake code:
SV_Accelerate(), SV_AirAccelerate(), and PM_CatagorizePosition() in pmove.c [github.com]

Various games (Linux/Proton) - key under escape not opening console
Method 1:
Configure your desktop environment or window manager to switch layouts on the fly. Along with your preferred layout, include US, and switch to it when you need to open the console.

Method 2:
Add this to your profile, .xinitrc or other preferred script:
setxkbmap -layout us,<layout> -option grp:alt_caps_toggle
— replacing <layout> with the desired layout. US must be the first in the list, layouts are toggled with Alt+Caps Lock ( more combinations [wiki.archlinux.org]). With this applied, console can be opened with either layout applied.

Source engine - creating and enabling sprays
Head on over to sprays.lightwo.net where you will find my instance of Mishcatt/VTF-Editor along with additional help.

Source engine (Linux) - half sensitivity, windowed mode upon switching
Add this to the start of your launch options (omit %command% if already present or the game is launched directly):
LD_PRELOAD="/usr/\$LIB/libSDL2.so:$LD_PRELOAD" %command%

Grand Theft Auto V - remove loading screen ads
Note: This works only for Story Mode and requires OpenIV.

For each revision of update.rpf (preferably as a copy within \mods), delete this file:

Looking more of a all around but leaning towards processing,but ive been out of the pc part game way to long idfk.
Now a distro im unsure of yet,i know i want to use kde for ui though.

PC parts? I am not very knowledgeable at all, when I was building this computer I researched on the spot rather than went by experience :thXD:

I made this PCPP list back then, it's mostly still accurate (with hindsight, the cooling could be better...):
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TPDsjZ

As for software, I use Artix Linux, and a ton of almost exclusively FOSS installed on it. I guess I could mention NeoVim, Firefox with Arkenfox user.js, Thunderbird (I'd switch if I could), newsboat, transmission + tremc, aria2c as daemon, nheko, Dino,... your question wasn't very specific lol

Just please don't do a carbon copy of my setup, not only is it flawed but it probably wouldn't suit your workflow :p
