Good day. I switched to Linux Mint a month ago and I'm having trouble with one problem. Steam takes a very long time to start (about 15-20 minutes). Has anyone encountered this problem?

Hello!

If this is in the wrong spot let me know, I really don't use Reddit much.

I am interested in moving my main system over to Linux however I had a few questions I was hoping I could get answered.

I was a big gamer however now days I am studying and working full time and play very little but still enjoying putting my toe in. I mainly play World of Warcraft in my spare time alongside whatever random game I feel like.

I am interested in moving across to something however still retain the ability to play a few games here and there.

I have played around on a fair few distro's on an old laptop (Arch, mint, popos) and while I can see online plenty of people still gaming on linux i was hoping to get pointed in the right direction.

I'm really not worried about it being 'windows like' happy for it to feel different so long as its not a nightmare to deal with GPU drivers etc,

Any advise would be awesome! Thanks :)

I have an oculus quest 2 that my brother got a couple years ago and my friends started asking me to play vrchat and some other games that would be nice to have this setup for

But sometimes when I open steam link on my quest (I already downloaded steamvr on my pc) and select the game is want to play (right now it i just have just vrchat) once im actually loaded into the game my quest gets a popup saying "waiting" and on my laptop the game is frozen, this doesnt happen when I play the pc version and doesnt always happen when I do it with pcvr.

My specs are: cpu: 10400f gpu: 3070 ram: 16gb distro: latest fedora version and drivers and other stuff were setup a while ago (I play other games just fine) Vrchat is set to the medium graphics preset AFAIK everything that would effect this should be on the latest version (no betas)

does anybody know how to solve this or if there are alternatives that are easier to setup/ dont have this problem on linux?

Fedora Workstation 43 (all updated), Gnome
RTX 4060 8 GB (yeah, not a gaming beast, but TDA should at least run, and it did on Win11)
Nvidia 580 driver (latest)
Tried different proton versions
Doom TDA aren't starting, crashing right after showing Bethesha/ID logos and that epilepsy warning. The only post I found here is about laptop and GPU/APU issue, but I'm on desktop 4060 and Ryzen 5500 without graphics. My idle VRAM usage seems to be something like 2gbs, so when the game is trying to allocate VRAM it's eating 6gbs and then crashes bc VRAM is over. 8 gbs is stated as minimum in requirements. and it worked on Windows, so can I do anything to launch it?

I am looking at once again giving Linux a try and making the switch on my desktop (if I can find alternatives to borked games) but I’ve also been trying out recording games for some projects that I am starting.

I know that some games still have weird quirks and compatibility issues when being run on Linux. Would this be heightened with the addition of OBS recording in the background, or would it be relatively the same.

I’d be thinking of using either Fedora (maybe nobara), Cachy, or Bazzite (least likely).

So, for the past 3 months I have been using debian 13 on my Lenovo T450 i5-5300u. I mostly use it for University work and small indie games like Dead Cells, Superhot, cuphead ect.Will i get better performance or battery life in other distros like base Fedora, Or base arch.FYI I am on most minimally possible xfce, I am also open to other de and wayland if stable for daily use.I dont mind tinkering to some extent either.

I am using cachyOS with a 5070 and a 10850k

I want to live stream myself playing some games for my girlfriend and on windows I would just use vesktop and this would work on Linux but because of their lack of NVENC support it’s very choppy or if not choppy it’s very pixelated.

If you have any ideas on how I can solve my issue as this is the last thing keeping me on windows, I am not a Linux beginner but I’m not advanced either

I have an annoying problem where the vibration on my XBox One Elite controller cuts out after exactly 1 sec. Everything else I've found online issues related to bluetooth or no rumble AT ALL, which isn't the case here.

It's really obvious in Rocket League. Holding boost should have constant vibration until you either release the button or boost runs out, but for me it just stops after exactly 1sec. Jumping or landing somehow resets (even while holding boost) so it vibrates again and cuts off at exactly 1sec. There's no setting to control this in-game. Constant vibration like this isn't exactly common in games so I don't have another way to test it.

Running Bazzite, all updated. Gaming through Steam. I'm using Solaar and Piper for mouse configuration though I'm pretty sure they don't affect controllers. Tried a friend's controller of the same model and it does the same thing. Bluetooth or wired doesn't matter. I've got Windows 10 on another drive and the controller works perfectly as expected there, so it's not a hardware or firmware issue.

Anyone know what could be the issue?

I doubt it's related, but since installing Bazzite a few months back I've always had 2 brief error messages like "TOCBLOCK #### corrupted" (where #### always changes after restart), which I wasn't able to find an explanation or answer for so I ignore it.

Basically the title. It seems to happen when I'm doing something like streaming a video in a vc. Part of me wonders if it's some kind of side effect of that new thing they implemented on windows, where the app idles if youre idle for too long, since I tend to be afk when streaming videos.

If it's not that, then its likely related to using hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, not using hardware acceleration isnt really an option, since it severely degrades the quality of the aforementioned streams.

Rn I'm going to test to see if it still happens with equibop, but otherwise I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if they've been able to address it.
