Here's a script I wrote to quickly get Osu running on Arch Linux, x86_64, using an NVidia Graphics Card with Official NVidia Drivers (only!).
Using the script:
1. Save the codebox to 'installosu.sh'
2. Run: chmod +x installosu.sh
3. Run: ./installosu.sh
4. Install whatever pops up
5. Run ~/osu and update.
Notes:
* After installation,start with '~/osu'
* The easiest way to install songs is to them and drag the file over the Osu window. Installed songs will be in '~/.osusongs'
* OpenGL works fine for me on the start screen, but won't get past the song list. Keep it on DirectX for your own safety.
* It's not my fault if it breaks your computer. If you have a problem with the script, I'll only help you if your system matches the above specs.
* Sound MAY or MAY NOT work, depending on your configuration. I haven't quite figured out a definite fix for any sound problems, so you may have to mess with your sound configuration to get it working. As a side note, it's not worth trying to play anything if the sound is garbled, as the rest of the game will destabilize if the sound is not OK.
