Alt tabbing with full screen games doesn’t bring other windows to the front
I’m running world of Warcraft (classic) using faugus launcher and often have two instances up, one on each monitor. However if I alt tab, my selected window isn’t brought to the front. I have to switch to “peek at desktop” and then select my window.
Other than this issue, this game runs far better than in windows.
Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?
Edit: I’m on arch using KDE with wayland. Everything up to date.

Multiple pointing device/mice support in Wayland/XWayland
Recently a new update for the Sega Saturn Emulator Ymir came out with support for multiple pointing devices to act as separate emulated Virtua Gun and/or Shuttle Mouse
But when I plugged in a second mouse to play some Co-op Virtua Cop 2, both mice inputs are being merged and I cannot assign Mouse 2 to Player 2 which I found out is the default behaviour on Wayland
My current setup is Debian Forky running GNOME 49.5
Is there any way to change this or should I move to an X11 capable Desktop Environment?

That's it, I'm done with Windows, considering Pop!_OS.
Title says it all, I'm not really a "multiplayer" gamer type of a guy, im mostly single player, so how's Pop!_OS like for gaming?

Help with using Optiscaler on Goverlay
I'm on CachyOS and I want to use Optiscaler to try out frame gen on Dragon's Dogma 2. I saw that Goverlay now has Optiscaler included, but the youtube tutorial I saw has some difference on the UI. The video doesn't have the OS version option, but mine has. Do I just leave it at default?
I also don't see the framegen option on mine, is it moved to the Optiscaler menu in the game after pressing insert?
Finally, I'm using Gamescope to upscale my game to 1440p, will it interfere with the Optiscaler? My current launch option for Dragon's Dogma 2 on steam is:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" gamescope -f -H 1440 --adaptive-sync --force-grab-cursor -- game-performance %command%

I’d like to see if my laptop with a 4600H processor, 16 GB of RAM, and no GPU handles games better than Windows 10 (I’m running ESU). Which distribution should I choose? The distribution will be used solely for gaming and occasional use of Firefox.
I want to test a few games that don’t run well on my laptop under Windows, such as Forza Horizon.

How do I make external backups of my games?
Long short story, I lost my Armored Core VI data after reinstalling in Linux Mint. I downloaded it in Linux Mint from Windows without any issues but I had to reinstall it and lost all my data (which never happened on Windows). I don't know what happened or why, but in case anything similar could happen again I want to keep external backups of some games that I don't want to lose, mainly Isaac and Balatro along with AC VI, if I go to my secondary hard drive (where I have the games installed) > SteamLibrary > Steamapps > Comptdata > 814380 (for instance, this is Sekiro) Do I copy the whole 814380 folder? then when I reinstall it in a new system, I download the game, when the 814380 folder is created, I simply replace it? thanks in advance
