Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

Sick of tinkering, seeking help (self.linux)

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!

I've actually gotten similar software working on Linux, but it's very far from easy. No distros are going to easily support that out of the box, so unless you find a guide (or write your own to follow) it's gonna be tough

if its a simple guide, simple as in easy to understand not as in KISS thats fine as i dont consider that as too much tinkering
