Wine Gecko or Mono isn't needed, we won't be using them. This install assumes a default pulseaudio config. Staging is preferred over vanilla if possible, but osu! can run with vanilla just fine with some tweaks.

The Windows version
of osu! Stable on Lutris' website is another good way to install the game. It contains tkg's patched wine v4.16 with Poon's audio fixes alongside other things. Its recommended to follow Poon's guide after setting this one up. Also, since the installer adds gdiplus
into the wineprefix, you must copy over Windows fonts for CJK text to display properly. Apart from that, it is practically plug and play.

Linux users are lucky to have 1 osu! tablet driver available! It's cross-platform, open-source, and the successor to hawku's drivers which are windows only :/. Anyways, it's called OpenTabletDriver and it is a C# program. You can manually install it into /opt
, and make a cronjob/systemd-user service to start the daemon on boot. The AUR package also has an icon and accompanating .desktop file. Be sure to blacklist the wacom
drivers and copy over the provided udev rules to avoid permission errors. Check the FAQ if there are any other issues. This driver works 100x better than the native Windows/Linux wacom drivers.
To get Discord RPC working on the lutris version of osu!, use this script and follow the README.md
