I played Morrowind for a bit on the old Xbox. The first one! I felt super retro. People tell me I should play it using OpenMW. Sadly, that isn’t packaged for my laptop’s distro (PureOS). I guess I need to use flatpak.
Get flatpak:
sudo apt install flatpak
Get OpenMW:
flatpak install --from https://flathub.org/repo/appstream \ /org.openmw.OpenMW.flatpakref
Update the system?
flatpak update
Run it!
flatpak run org.openmw.OpenMW
More info here: How To Play The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind On Linux With OpenMW. Got my GOG copy. And it seems to work! This didn’t work when I tried it back in March. But now it does. Happy!

To allow the Xbox 360 controller to be used:
sudo apt install xboxdrv sudo rmmod xpad sudo xboxdrv --silent
There’s a more permanent solution involving blacklisting the default xpad driver on How To Use And Configure Your Xbox 360 Controller on Linux. I haven’t tried that, yet.

Switching from the console to a laptop keyboard + touchpad isn’t easy. Mostly because I cannot use the touchpad while pressing a key, apparently! I guess I need to play with the Xbox 360 controller, or I need to get a real mouse.
