I need some advice for gaming
I will install LinuxMint on my desktop today, and I want to use it for gaming, the only game I play is Risk of Rain 2 modded, and I need advice of any and every kind of program, library or some other type of application that I can install to run my game the best possible.
I know I need Proton, Wine and Bottles, but I probably should install something more to suit-up my computer.
The modding program I use has support for Linux (R2modman)
My specs are:
Biostar H6IMLv2 motherboard
GTX 1050 NVIDIA
4gb DDR3 RAM
Intel core i3 processor
I can use the terminal if necessary
thanks in advance!! Edit:
Forgot to ask how do I set a specific NVIDIA driver

Modding Skyrim help: which exact options should I click on when setting up Mod Manager 2?
I've recently been watching this video guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9C5G5GKd5Y, which massively helps me with the git hub download of the Mod Organizer 2 for Skyrim https://github.com/Furglitch/modorganizer2-linux-installer?tab=readme-ov-file (I know there's an upcoming Nexus Mod Manager, but I prefer to use MO2). As I'm going through the installation, some of the prompts had be wonder which exact options should I choose.
Plugin Half 1 (which ones should I choose? I hope to get LOOT installed for Load order help)
Plugin Half 2 (which ones should I choose? I hope to get LOOT installed for Load order help)
I'm sorry to bother you guys. But I really could use some advice, especially as someone still learning the ropes of Linux. I'd be grateful :)

GTX 970 user forced to leave Nobara. Distro suggestions?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been using Nobara for a while and really enjoying it, but I just saw the PSA that NVIDIA is dropping support for the 10-series and older (Maxwell architecture) with the upcoming 590 drivers. Since Nobara has confirmed they won't be supporting legacy driver branches, my GTX 970 is effectively on unsupported.
I’m a student on a very tight budget, so upgrading my GPU isn't an option right now. I need to keep this 970 running as long as possible.
Which distro would you recommend that makes it easy to pin/stay on the NVIDIA 570/550 legacy drivers while still being good for gaming?

Nobara issues
Ok i tested many versions of linux and they worked great to install with no problems but nobara is the only version that i installed and after install doesnt show the linux in grub menu (appears only my windows 11).
I tried catchy os, pop os,linux mint,fedora, ubuntu and so on and this is the only version that i have problems:(
Any ideas?

Boot times and for "pick-up-and-play" on gaming oriented devices
I’ve been reflecting on the handheld experience and realized that boot times feel much more critical on devices like my ROG Ally than on my desktop. While I love Bazzite, that 30-40 second wait creates a bit of "mental friction" compared to the near-instant wake of a Switch or Vita, often making me hesitate to turn it on for a quick session. I’m curious if this is an inherent trade-off of using a full PC OS on a handheld, or if there’s a way to bridge that gap to make the experience feel more like a dedicated console and less like a booting computer.
Specifically on my ROG Ally, the startup feels considerably slower than what I see on other devices, and I’d love to know if there are any safe tweaks to optimize this. Are there specific BIOS settings, GRUB timeouts, or background services I should look into to shave off some time? I’m approaching this with total respect for the devs and the platform, I’m just trying to minimize the friction for casual gaming. Should I be looking into specific optimizations, or is the consensus simply to rely on Suspend instead of full shutdowns?

Which gpu driver is best for performance?
I have a AMD 5300M mobile gpu. Ignoring the installation quirks (With some config) which is best for performance? The proprietory drivers or the open source drivers?
