ALVR setup like I'm 5
I have a fresh fedora install, and have been banging my head on how to get ALVR set up so I can stream games to my quest 3 for hours on end. I keep looking for tutorials online, but I cont find any that are any good, or assume I already have a dozen different dependencies already installed.
I need the whole process explained to me in the easiest, baby step by baby step way. Thank you!

Can we stop with the stupid questions?
Like 80% of posts on this subreddit are "What Linux distro is for me?", or "Windows sucks, what distro should I choose?", or "How is gaming on Linux?". These can be answered with a quick Google search, yet people still keep spamming these stupid questions. The subreddit doesn't have any meaningful content anymore because it's just being flooded with beginners who are too lazy to do simple research.
Mods, do something about this!

Unusual Frametime Spike and GPU Usage Rate in Against the Storm
Every ~1.5 s the frametime jumps from ~4 ms to ~120 ms, FPS dives by ~20–30, then recovers. Only in the gameplay, no issue while in game title. Also my GPU usage rate constantly stabilises at 100% which is very rare (4060 GPU not intel)
Tried the usual Linux‐side fixes – spikes still there.
Because I saw the game on ProtonDB, which is platinum and no one has reported similar issue. I guess probably there are some problems on my computer, not with the game (even this issue only happens in this game)
I paste inxi under and hope a detective can help me.

Does New Vegas Reloaded work with Wine?
- Radeon RX 550
- OS: Ubuntu
- GOG version
- Vanilla game
If I install NVR with Mod Organizer I start the game and get an instant crash.
When installed manually, without Mod Organizer, the game starts and I can access NVR's in game settings menu but the graphic effects are not there (it's like playing vanilla New Vegas). If I play a little bit with the menu, disabling and enabling settings, I get error messages.
Did I forget any requirements? I only installed xNVSE.

So I deleted from its directory .but the library still showed.i clicked play and the laptop crashed and now it refuses to turn on. No lights, no sound no display .
Y'all have to help me understand what has happened and how can I fix it!!!

FPS Games
I want to switch to Linux, and most of my games are compatible on it, either natively or thru wine/proton. But the only problem is first person shooters, most of them are not compatible on Linux, so are there any good ones which are compatible?

Red Dead Redemption 2, Flickering Interior Bug
System Information:
Kernel: Linux 6.15.0-2-cachyos
WM: Hyprland 0.49.0
Driver: Nvidia-dkms 570.153.02
GPU: RTX 3090
CPU: 5800X3D
RAM: 32GB DDR4
Firstly, thank-you for any help you can provide. I have been having an issue on Linux only. I am using the same save (and same settings) wherein I get flickering black geometry in interiors in Red Dead Redemption 2.
I am using the Vulkan API, but I have tried cycling the settings to minimize the potential of any one setting causing it to no avail.
I have tried the various mainline Arch Nvidia drivers and the CachyOS repo version as well as the DKMS driver.
I have tried deleting the settings folder along with fully re-installing the game as well.
I have also tried cycling every setting in the game along with trying around 4~ different proton versions to no avail.
If anyone has any leads or ideas, the help would be much appreciated, Thank-you!

Should I start using Linux? And which distro?
Hey all, I don't know if there is already a post about it around here, and if needed, I can delete this, and go to the related topic.
I've been thinking for a while that I would like to start using Linux on my personal pc, and what had been making me not go forward with it was gaming, but since Valve launched the Steam OS, and I discovered Proton, I've been thinking it's time.
I want to know you guys's opinions on what distro to use. I am looking for something where I can spend some time tinkering to customise, but that doesn't take ages to setup and be ready for the basic usage. Also, I have a Nvidia GPU and some Logitech and 8bitdo periferals, and would like to know if their drivers work fine with Linux!
Sorry for the amount of questions, I have been thinking a lot about it, but I don't have the time to start testing a lot of different distros to find something that feels like was made for me right now. Also sorry if I misspelled something, or if it's hard to understand, it's been a while since I've used english! And thanks for the help!

What is that round button in Wine's controllers configuration?
I'm trying to check how 8bitdo Pro 2 controller works wtih wine control gamepads section. It runs in xbox controller profile. Most things work, but what is that round button in the UI? Nothing triggers it. Also "home" button triggers "A" in this UI.
Dinput section seems to recognize all buttons as separate.

Vulkan 1.4.317 made public, including extensions to improve frame pacing, add FP8 shader support (needed for FSR4), and add VP9 video decoding
What do you recommend? (I have used Windows all my life)
Hello, I am thinking of switching to Linux, the only thing I do with my computer is play and I really have the doubt that if Virtualbox can be installed on Linux, or if it is only possible to install it on some versions of Linux, I am thinking of using Bazzite since from what I researched it is made for gaming which is what I am looking for, I am asking about Virtualbox since I know that some games are not compatible with Linux, so I want to know if I use Virtualbox to install some version of Windows, is it possible that I run the multiplayer game? like League of legends, I really don't know much about it

I found my unicorn!!! (ASUS A14 + CachyOS)
For a bit of context, I travel regularly for work. I have been in search of an "ultrabook" that is also gaming capable. And when I mean ultrabook, I mean as small as I can find. I was looking in the 13"-14" range, and was coming up empty for the longest time. My requirements were: SMALL, Discrete GPU, Linux Support (Official or Unofficial)
I thought I had a winner with the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 tablet, but it had a hardware defect with the charging port, so I had to unload it. Acer had a pearl white smaller notebook which came close, but I learned quickly that installing Linux on an Acer likes to break its BIOS. Suffice to say, it was a disaster. I was about to give up and relegate myself to steam-deck performance and having to bring along peripherals. Until I found this!
The new ASUS TUF A14 with the Ryzen 9 AI 370HX and a laptop RTX4060. This thing is smaller than my business issued 14" Lenovo T14S. While it also has a 180W charger, it can also take up to 100W USB-C, which I have an ANKER PRIME charger I bring with me. It was a bumpy road getting it set up. I started with Fedora, and while it ran fine, games were...not great. I tried Endeavor, but kept getting stuck in a boot loop. I didn't want anything immutable, or ubuntu based, which ruled out bazzite and a lot of options. I found something about CachyOS, and it has been highly recommended apparently (I guess I didn't lurk hard enough) Anyway, seeing how end user friendly it appeared to have been designed, I gave it a try........
After I made sure I had properly installed the ASUS stuff from Asus-linux.org...OMFG, this is the fastest @$&#$# OS experience I have ever had on a PC. I loaded up several games (Last Epoch, Baldurs Gate 3, DragonQuest XI-S, Hogwartz Legacy, and all of them ran arguably smoother than my desktop rig, which has a 7800x3d+7800xt. I'm posting this from the laptop right now, because the gaming experience and compatibility have made for such a good linux experience that this is going to be my new daily driver!

Problem booting ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN through linux mint (linux noob btw)
I recently downloaded nightreign on linux mint (ubuntu) but every time I try to open it. It constantly shows me a black screen until kicking me out. I tried finding a solution to this, but all I could find only applied to windows. I tried all the protons provided by steam but nothing works. I've seen it work for other linux users PLEASE HELP
