linux-compatible speedrunning tools and/or livesplit tricks (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

hi, is there anyone else here who is disappointed with the speedrunning tools available for linux users?

i've tried livesplit through wine but i can't get global hotkeys or autosplitters working, and speedrunning in general doesn't allow for the leeway required to tab out, split, and tab back in. i did give this a shot but it seems like livesplit server is deprecated and the project never got any more work done. also tried livesplit one, but again i couldn't figure out global hotkeys or auto splitting.

i used to use a tool called flitter but i would really prefer something more configurable like livesplit.

ok actually midway through writing this and looking for links to the things i've used in the past, i found this tool that does support global hotkeys. autosplitter would be nice, but it's better than the rest.

i'll still post this though - i'm curious if there are any tools/tips/tricks/etc others have to share.

i think many pc games would be relatively lenient with this as long as you can reasonably demonstrate there are no beneficial differences with proton, especially lower on the leaderboard.

honestly i hadn't given leaderboard verification much thought, but yeah currently i just speedrun for fun and just keep the times/videos for myself.

If they whine (pun not intended) make the moderators add a Linux category & proudly show off that you run games fast on a free OS.
