From march 2025 daily driving Cachy os am so happy 😊.

Unhappy Windows 11 user here, currently running an RTX 5070 Ti. A few months ago, with a lot of pain, I stopped using Linux (Ubuntu) as my main OS. I never play multiplayer games, and every non-VR game I threw at Linux worked fine. But VR, at least in my experience, just isn’t on the same level as Windows yet.

Maybe it’s a skill issue, but when I tried VR on Ubuntu a few years ago:

• Some games worked on WiVRn, others on ALVR. That was fine, I could live with that. db.vronlinux.org helped me figure out which worked where.
• Games like VRChat had issues with video playback...the screen would just be black. I never really looked for a solution, though.
• Some games stuttered a bit. Things didn’t feel as smooth as they do on Windows.
• I’m running an RTX 5070 Ti (16 GB). Maybe I should’ve gone with an AMD GPU?
• In Alyx, I couldn’t use any controller bindings other than the default ones.
• Viewing my desktop in SteamVR didn’t work, I’d just get a black screen.
• The SteamVR UI itself felt very slow, on Windows it’s quite snappy.

I’m also a huge fan of VR overlays like OVR Toolkit. The closest thing I found on Linux was wlx-overlay-s, but I never managed to get it working. Again, probably a skill issue, or maybe my NVIDIA GPU...or both.

I’d really like to avoid running two operating systems or buying separate drives. I’m currently on Windows 11 Pro, and I honestly hate it, hate it... but VR works so well there. I really want to go back to Linux.

Has anyone figured out VR on Linux to the point where it makes no sense to go back to Windows? VR is the only thing holding me back from fully switching.

I'm very curious in learning what's missing.

I am trying to mod assassin's creed games but they require the anvil tool kit to extract the .forge files, but Anvil tool kit just doesnt work on my bazzite os due to the .net requirement so is their any way or an alternative

Near the end of 2024 I switched to Linux, and my goal for 2025 was to not play a single game on Windows this year, and I was able to do just that. Now that windows is permanently off my PC I am ready for the future.

I'd be very grateful if you could help me with some advice. Epic Games recently gave away Hogwarts Legacy, and I was hoping to play it on my Steam Deck, but I ran into a problem. I downloaded the game via Port Proton, and when I launch it, lossless scaling doesn't work. Even if it does, Hogwarts can't find EOS and returns an error.

I downloaded MO2 and followed the instructions from GitHub. I clicked on the highlight releases in step 2 and downloaded mo2Installer-6.0.6.tar.gz and extracted it onto my desktop. I opened the extracted folder, opened the terminal in there, and executed with "./install.sh". It seemed to have worked as the intstaller did stuff. I currently have "mod-organizer-2-cyberpunk2077" in my var/home/usr/games folder, and my cyberpunk 2077 game directory in Steamapps/common has Mod Organizer 2. However, I still can't seem to get the Mod Organizer 2 to work.

Maybe I overlooked step 6's post-install instructions, but it looks rather overwhelming for me to figure out.

To clarify, I'm on Bazzite (an off-shoot of Fedora) and am trying to test out with Cyberpunk 2077. If possible, could I have someone help guide me (perhaps we can chat to more readily have a 1-1 conversation)? I'd be grateful.

After the recent update, game wouldn't recognize my dedicated GPU, then started getting this Anti-cheat error thing. Is the game no longer working on linux or just Nvidia cards?

Hi,

has anyone else encountered this weird bug in BL4 where there seems to be a misaligned UI element peeking out in the corner? I'm using Fedora 43 KDE Plasma desktop.

Operating System: Fedora Linux 43

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0

Qt Version: 6.10.1

Product Name: MS-7C56

I have tried looking around the internet but i can't seem to find any posts about it.

i have tried verifying the files in steam and reinstalling, i have also tried changing to different versions of proton.

nothing seems to change.

Edit: I would just ignore it but i have an OLED monitor and am worried about burn in.

I've installed SPT with spt-additions and it works great.

however... after I stop the server and close the game, some memory simply won't get cleared no matter what.

but the usage isn't shown anywhere.

memory used after closing (with librewolf open)

this is the usage right after system boot

this is the usage after closing

doesn't show any sign of something using ~4G RAM

any idea what this might be? or how to investigate?

I have the same problem as in the title: I play games on Proton 10.0-3, but when I open VRChat, it asks me to download an anti-cheat.

It really is amazing to see that last year I was still on the fence and always booted between Windows and Linux. This year I only booted up windows fo Battlefield 6 and being kind of disappointed I never looked back since. I still have the separate drive, but I dont think it will last the year, I need the space for more games on linux :)
