| | ==== Alternative: Use Lutris ==== |
| | The ''Windows version'' of osu! Stable on [[https://lutris.net/games/osu|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. |

| Replace ''<user>'' with your Linux user. The commented ''Exec'' option is for an older version of wine that required ''PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=40'' to prevent audio artifacts. ''vblank_mode=0'' stops vsync if you are having issues with your desktop environment. Place {{:osu.png?linkonly |}} in ''~/.local/share/icons'' for a lovely icon. | Replace ''<user>'' with your Linux user.

| | ===== OpenTabletDriver ===== |
| | 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. |

| | ===== Discord RPC ===== |
| | To get Discord RPC working on the lutris version of osu!, use [[https://github.com/HorizonCode/linux-lutris-osu-rpc|this script]] and follow the ''README.md'' instructions. |

| * While Poon's wine modifications seem to improve latency alot, the newer version of wine don't have as bad latency as the older ones and his patch no longer compiles on the latest staging version. Maybe I still should try it sometime though. | * While Poon's wine modifications seem to improve latency alot, the newer version of wine don't have as bad latency as the older ones and his patch no longer compiles on the latest staging version.
