Help needed for apps and drivers (jlai.lu)

I installed Linux Mint Cinnamom.

I'm am hard stuck finding any kind of way of making wine useful. It seems every single attemp of using wine just failed.

I have tried both 32 and 64, changing settings with winetrick to windows 10 and installed required DLL for each of the following apps.

TrackIR Software (I can install the sofware but the driver of the camera just won't install, I also tried a linix alternative Linuxtrack but I can't install webqt as I believe it's only for AMD and I have an NVIDIA)

iCUE (Needed for corsair mouse otherwise I have no other way of changing it's settings)

MSI Afterburner (I need something to limit my GPU temp)

Vortex (this one seems like it would be easy but the app just blinks white even after installing .net 6.0 and setting wine to windows 10)

And lastly the Stream deck.

I would really really appreciate any help for any of those things. That's a lot of painpoint for a first day on Linux but I'm not giving up.

I'm not against changing distro if that's a solution. But I would really prefer avoiding VMs.

Thank you for reading up to here!

Could try WinBoat for some of those, like iCue, will probably work. It's essentially a VM, gpu pass-through isn't working yet, but usb pass-through is.

Another option is bottles, but if you're configuring wine correctly then bottles might not help at all.

For afterburner, you can try this tutorial https://linuxvox.com/blog/msi-afterburner-for-linux/

TrackIR is for VR tracking? No idea on a solution in any case.

Vortex as in the nexus mod manager? There's a Linux alternative listen on Nexus.

Thank you for taking the time to answer!

For iCUE I will give a few options a try input-remapper seems like it would do what I need.

For Afterburner I was able to just change the power limit with nvidia-smi that's the only thing I cared about:

#!/bin/bash #Enable persistence mode sudo nvidia-smi -pm ENABLED #Set power limit to 240Watts sudo nvidia-smi -pl 240

TrackIR5 is a hardware that uses a camera and an emitter that you put on your head. https://www.trackir.com/trackir5/ It works great for ETS2 and ATS.

Yes Vortex the mod manager, I will try Mod Organizer 2 see how that goes.
