I have been using linux for a couple of years now and the most infuriating thing to this day are when things just dont work when they should, when you have to perform some terminal-fu to make certain things even work.
So here i am, pleading for help for two specific issues before i jump back into using a specific distro (yes, most things a distro does are agnostic and can be achieve by others, but thats not my point here)
Here the things i would like to work (with little to no tinkering if possible) webmotioncapture, runs fine over wine but doesnt detect my camera (vseeface is not an option as it doesnt detect hands and needs some serious code-fu to make that work, also didnt detect my camera)
have my camera work and be detected in linux and wine (Anker PowerConf C200)
if anybody could point into a distro direction, or actually easy to understand absolute minimal tinkering instructions, id be very gratefull
update: i genuinely cant believe it, wecammotioncapture, works under wine, without any tinkering, hallelujah!
Proton is designed only to be used within Steam, use something like wine-ge-proton outside of Steam (this won’t solve your problem, but keep it in mind)
And don’t use proton for non games, use wine
i sometimes had margin able better results with that one on lutris, but nothing otustanding
