Notes

  • Store RandomMovies and Songs in ~/.stepmania-5.1
  • :!: As of 2020/09/05, using the ati Xorg DDX driver on openSUSE caused both exclusive and borderless fullscreen modes to crash the entire Xfce desktop; use modesetting since it works fine even with the 75Hz mod

System FFmpeg

  • This was attempted instead of working around the authentication issue
