Leaning towards Nobara, good for running virtual machines as well?
When W10 kicks the bucket, I'm leaning towards going full Linux as I mainly play single player games now.
I'm thinking about going to Nobara. I work from home at times and I do my work in a virtual machine to keep things separate. Does it handle virtualization well or should I look at a different distro? Was thinking possibly CachyOS as well could be a good option for that work/gaming balance.

Quake 4 / Doom 3: No input -- stuck in menu
Hello,
Bought Quake 4 the other day. It launches fine and the opening splash screens play. I can press escape to skip them. However, once I get to the menu, there's no response from the keyboard or mouse at all, and no mouse pointer. It's not locked up -- the music & menu animations still play, and it exits cleanly with Alt+F4 (don't have to force quit or anything).
Noticing it was using the Doom 3 engine, I decided to test that as well, and it has the exact same issue. I've played Doom 3 within the past year on same hardware & distro, so this is somewhat recent.
The only thing I've seen to try is disabling Steam Input & the overlay, but had no effect. I don't have any joysticks connected anyway.
I'm on KDE Neon (which is latest Ubuntu LTS with latest KDE on top).
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks for reading!

I really want to know what's the deal with these modern "gaming" distros? (I am old)
I don't mean to provoke anyone, I'm really serious about this question:
I've been using Linux for nearly 30 years, but what's the deal with these modern "gaming" distros? I've happily played on Arch Linux without any problems, and I'm currently playing on Debian Linux (again) without any issues. I didn't notice any speed differences; the performance and graphical quality of the games corresponded always to the maximum possible with my hardware. Is this just a hype or am I missing something? It's all just Linux to me. I only ever install the bare essentials of a "mother"-distro (minimal install, no apps) just to get Steam and a browser running (okay, Spotify too.) Why do I need these "based on"-distros?

Hell let loose on heroic games launcher(epic) keeps randomly crashing with low level fatal error
The game runs great, even better than on windows fps wise after the initial map load that gives me 10fps, some random fps drops in the middle of a game that happens on windows as well. I've had some issues getting it to work initially, trying a lot of different GE-proton versions but eventually settling on GE-proton10-10 and using steam runtime
But this random fatal error crash in the middle of a game is honestly ruining it for me, doesn't matter if i'm playing on the same server and same map for 10 minutes or an hour, i'll be immersed and really into it and then just crash and my experience is ruined. sometimes i can play for a long time, with map change and even server change and not have any crash. Once the error window appears the game freezes but i can still hear player communications until it crashes
I have seen some fixes that helped people on windows with this crash related to XMP being enabled and memory in general. I do have XMP enabled because i wouldn't get all the performance i can have with my CPU with XMP disabled, i also have some ram errors on one of my 8gb ram sticks, i'm planning on changing both of them and upgrading to 32gb but i have had zero issue with ram in every other game i'm playing, with some of them being pretty intensive on hardware.
I'm at a loss as to why this single game is giving me so much issues while other games are just fine, maybe it's an easy anti cheat issue? Maybe a heroic games launcher issue? I have no idea
I'll leave my specs and the heroic launcher log in a pastebin link down below if it can help fix this and feel free to ask about any other info that might be relevant but i forgot to provide. Thanks
