Cachyos Vs Linux mint Vs fedora

(My computer is a 2013 imac, GT 755m, 32gb)

Im pretty new to linux I have tried mint and cachyos before and they were nice I haven't tried fedora however.

in a operating system I mainly consider, Speed/preformance like overall and in gaming, Ease of installation, good for development, not needing to always tinker everything just to get it working, and a gui/automated option for most things

I can't play Fallout 4 or Far Cry 4

I can't open Far Cry 4 or Fallout 4. I'm using the latest version of Proton; it won't open or do anything. I'm using the Linux Mint distribution with a GT 1030 graphics card and a 4th generation i5 processor.

Best XR development setup for linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Dezember 2025 - 21:04

Hi there, and merry Christmas to you all!

Straight to the point: my brother gave me a Meta Quest 3S for Christmas this year (it’s really cool, by the way — I’ve already been having a lot of fun with it), and I’ve been thinking about developing something for it.

I’m not very familiar with XR these days, but it seems like a growing market, and I’m honestly REALLY impressed with the technology. That said, I’m not entirely sure what the right setup on Linux looks like. There’s a lot of scattered information out there, and it feels like mostly noise.

What I’d like to achieve is something like this:

  • A “productivity mode”, where I can set up virtual monitors in AR/VR and do my normal coding work directly in them.
  • A “game / XR mode”, where I can run an XR app and test it on the headset.

Ideally, I’d like to switch between these two modes without constantly taking the headset on and off, and without having to rebuild and sideload an APK every single time I want to test something (I’d be using Unity, by the way).

I know a workflow like this is possible on Windows using Oculus Link + Virtual Desktop, but I’ve been a Linux user for years now, and I really don’t want to move to Windows. I’m very comfortable with my current setup and workflow.

For context, I’m currently running Arch Linux + DWM, no compositor and no full desktop environment. I also know next to nothing about SteamVR, Monado, OpenXR, or the whole XR stack on Linux, so any guidance there would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, and happy holidays!
