Integrating native file explorer on wine with linux.

This is mostly aimed at osu! mappers/storyboarders who need an easy way to access osu! beatmap folders through wine.

Introduction

This is a quick tutorial on how you can edit some wine registry files to make wine open the native linux file explorer when clicking the Open folder menu on whatever application uses it, since the explorer.exe application doesn't integrate that well with the linux environment.

The main use-case for this workaround is the case of those who need to work with a high bandwidth of files being moved around and shared/edited/whatever it's needed to do with it. ^{eg. osu!mappers}

Doing it...

1. Getting the useful info

academo

# Usage: ww -f "window class filter" -c "run if not found"
# Usage: ww -fa "window title filter" -c "run if not found"

Concise visual novel setup on linux

also see this guide which has better compatibility. This guide is forked from it. written by kamui-7

This guide is very close to exactly how I run vn's on my setup. I can't guarantee it'll work for everyone (in fact, i can probably guarantee it's broken for someone/some game)

Packages i use

sudo pacman -S wine-staging giflib lib32-giflib libpng lib32-libpng libldap lib32-libldap gnutls lib32-gnutls mpg123 lib32-mpg123 openal lib32-openal v4l-utils lib32-v4l-utils libpulse lib32-libpulse libgpg-error lib32-libgpg-error alsa-plugins lib32-alsa-plugins alsa-lib lib32-alsa-lib libjpeg-turbo lib32-libjpeg-turbo sqlite lib32-sqlite libxcomposite lib32-libxcomposite libxinerama lib32-libgcrypt libgcrypt lib32-libxinerama ncurses lib32-ncurses libxslt lib32-libxslt libva lib32-libva gtk3 lib32-gtk3 gst-plugins-base-libs lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs lib32-gst-plugins-goo

1. Download Windows Media Player 11, 64 bit (wmp11-windowsxp-x64-enu.exe):

   $ cd /tmp/
   $ curl -O https://web.archive.org/web/20190512112704/https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/0/8/3080C52C-2517-43DE-BDB4-B7EAFD88F084/wmp11-windowsxp-x64-enu.exe

2. Extract the archive:

   $ cabextract wmp11-windowsxp-x64-enu.exe -d wmp11

3. Run and close the game through Steam. A Proton prefix is created on the first run.
4. Go to the game's folder inside Steam's compatdata folder:

   $ cd $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/287290

5. Set prefix to Windows XP: $ WINEPREFIX=$PWD/pfx wine winecfg

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export to tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.
