Hollow Knight on Wine on OpenBSD

My laptop unfortunately is with NVidia GPU, and in general GPU issue is quite big for my tests.

I had to pick small window size and also work with some crazy stuttering.

Arrow keys didn't work so I had to rebind all my keys to letters - recorded that in the list of the issues I have with wine.

Also intro cinematic was completely black/blank with heavily stuttering sound in the background. Codec issue? Or maybe again... GPU issue.

This was installed via Steam.

Laptop: Asus UX303UL
OpenBSD: 8.0 stock (haven't updated yet to official OpenBSD 8.0, running a Sep 26th release, too scared to update)
DE: CWM

People that are smarter than me are pulling apart my update, finding places where I am stupid, and hopefully someday we will have it working.

Edit: I might want to try and check if SMT would make it more bearable.
Edit2: Found why arrows don't work - OpenBSD uses xfree86

I do have a question, anyone knows where I can find drivers for NVidia for 2014 GPU? No? Fkn NVidia...

Steam is incredibly based (Griftlands on OpenBSD)

I find it quite funny, that as soon as steam works on certain machine or operating system, you basically can run a lot of things.

Hopefully steam on OpenBSD soon?

Sometimes I feel like I am about to get yelled at for introducing Windows games to OpenBSD

EDIT: Laptop stuff
Model: Asus UX303L
DE: CWM with some custom scripts to display wine debug info

Why OpenBSD has no userland %gs?

Anyone who knows OpenBSD history knows why there is no way to set %gs from userland? There are no syscalls (on amd64, I know I386 sets %gs), and os always parks values at 0 for userland.

Is it a security decision? Swapgs vulnerabilities? The fact that only reason to have it is to simplify windows "not emulation" and supporting it is not the goal of OpenBSD?

(Barely) Running Factorio on OpenBSD under VM

https://preview.redd.it/rplr79vp61sh1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=8da149ce3d31322c855e3fa05e4081ab9ebc4d1a

Stock OpenBSD 7.9 (I worry that my hodgepodge of a system will breakdown if I try to move to 8.0) running Factorio

Sound is very choppy because of CPU saturation, but without sound it is quite playable. Haven't tried any of my saves yet.

Fullscreen gets really choppy even on the menu "demos", so I tried to find a minimally playable screen.

Will try at some point on my Asus UX303 laptop, but moving this setup to it is a challenge... everything is held with ductape
