I've dual booted my system
I’ve installed Linux Mint alongside Windows, but it seems Linux is set as the default OS whenever I boot up. How can I make Windows the default instead?

Stable and easy to maintain distro for daily use & gaming? Looking for my own and my daughter's PC
hello there!
TL;DR - I'm looking for a distro for myself as well as my daughter - any input, ideas or references are very much welcome :)
It should be a quite easy to maintain distro and (ideally) has to be stable enough for daily use as a main device without any alternatives to fall back to. The only "requirements": KDE + easy backup/snapshot capabilities like Timeshift.
-----
Nobara? Fedora? Posts on reddit, guides and videos on youtube seem to be split 50/50 - Nobara bad bcs small team vs. Nobara perfect gaming distro! Fedora good bcs stable but bad bcs not very up-to-date and no out-of-the-box experience! (bit exaggerated but you get the idea)
Endeavour or Cachy? Seem to be less "easy to maintain" due to being Arch-based and maintained by small teams from what I've heard.
Bazzite? Immutable right? Good? Bad?
Mint? Ubuntu? SUSE? bwoah no idea where to start tbh :/
Some background info:
So yea. My teenage daughter is "refusing" Windows and desperately wants to run Linux since her school's running Linux Mint devices ever since. She knows what she's doing, I fully trust her with this - but both of us don't want to be fixing and fiddling every other day, at least not any more than windows 11 requires.
Personally I have used Linux off and on again over the years but haven't had a distro installed since I had Manjaro/Antergos 5(?) years ago on my "just for surfing and some spreadsheets while watching TV"-Thinkpad - but ditched it when Antergos was done. Before that I had Mint as a daily for some time and Ubuntu & SUSE ~10 years ago during uni and early work experience.
Our Steam libraries have near perfect Linux compatibility (checked with ProtonDB.com) - we both mainly play games like RDR2, Witcher3, Cyberpunk2077, GTA5, Skyrim + some casual/arcade couch games that should all run 100% fine like NBA Playgrounds or MotoGP games. Even my favourite simracing titles like Assetto Corsa Competizione are supposed to run flawlessly on my Fanatec simrig thanks to kernel drivers like these here.
PC specs if these might cause concern:
My PC: Ryzen 7500f + RX 7800 XT, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD
Daughter's PC: Ryzen 2700x + RTX2080 Super, 16GB RAM, 2TB SSD (might switch the 2080S with an RX 6700 XT of a friend bcs nvidia-experience has been underwhelming even on windows and maybe moreso on Linux)

Rainbow Six Siege dependency install not working, can't find CreateFileMapping2 in a .dll file
Yes, I am aware, many online functions of siege are completely nonfunctional on linux. I just want offline play, don't bug me about this pretty please.
Info:
- Fedora Linux
- Game runner: wine-ge-8-26-x86_64
- Completely default lutris and wine setup, I haven't touched the settings on this install
Functioning behavior:
- Install UC (ubisoft connect) via lutris
- Launch UC
- Give UC the siege install (I didn't want to wait for it to download a second time, so I just copied the game install into UC)
- Verify game files
Broken behavior:
Launch game for the first time (either via lutris or direct in UC
This screen pops up:
Siege begins installing additional things like DirectX, gets to 'Microsoft VC Redistributables'
Error popup: "The procedure entry point CreateFileMapping2 could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-core-memory-11-1-7.dll"
The game never gets past this screen

Finally have my 9070 in hand, should I wait to install Linux?
Shuffling through recent posts on here doesn’t have me feeling confident in the performance of rdna4 on Linux. Stay on winblows a bit longer or are things looking better? Not committed to a specific distro but I like bazzite and Garuda. Cheers.

Done with consoles and going full time Linux gaming on couch
I’ve wanted to try this for awhile, recently got a 4K/120hz OLED TV and decided it was time since consoles may support 120hz now but the games are usually still only made to run at 30-60, and that’s usually 60 with performance mode (read low settings). I have a strong PC but prefer couch gaming so I decided why not just try it out?
I’ve moved my Fedora gaming PC to my living room, got a 2.4Ghz wireless keyboard and mouse, it works amazing I’ve only been using it this way a couple weeks but I can comfortably play games on controller or mouse/keyboard, browse the web, and code all on my couch.
I cannot emphasize just how good everything looks on this screen, and how much more clear everything looks compared to console. I know the pictures only show Rimworld but also played some Cyberpunk 2077 on it and it is night and day.
I think for me I can say this has been a success, it was braindead simple to set up and I’d definitely recommend it. The keyboard is a Redragon K673 and the mouse is a Logitech G309 - they were about 50$ each and tbh feel damn close enough to my wired Ducky TKL and Razer mouse that I’m good with it, I don’t even notice any delay at all which was a worry of mine (and why I didn’t go Bluetooth). I have a basic lapboard coming too but tbh it’s not even uncomfortable to just have the keyboard on my lap and mouse on a cardboard box like this.
TL;DR: I think I can ditch consoles and move fully to Linux Gaming now with my new setup :)

Need some help getting gamescope to work on Steam!
I am trying to use gamescope to limit my fps at 144 since I Run marvel rivals using frame gen and fsr and I want to limit tearing and input latency.
Whenever I use gamescope however, it auto launches my game at 720p and not the native resolution. Even when i change the settings ingame it remains at 720p. Using the arguments H-1440 W-2560 does work for launching the game at 1440p however, it disables the use of FSR ingame.
Does this mean that gamescope CANNOT be used with a games fsr implementation and its one or the other and if that is the case, is there another way i can limit fps?

Oblivion not launching
Hello there!
I'm a brand new Linux user and, since I've only used Macs for the last 15 years, I thought that I could finally give gaming a try. I only have a pretty old laptop to run Linux on (for now) so my intention was to rediscover older titles from my childhood (basically the 2000s). As I could never properly play Oblivion because of my potato computer of the time and the fact that I switched to Mac a couple of years later, I thought I could finally play the sequel to my favorite game of all time.
I got it from Steam, set up Proton, and launched it. In the launcher, all the options were greyed out except for the website link and the exit button. I discovered that this is a fairly common problem. I followed a guide where it says that I should update the registry key for the game. I followed the guide, also trying a few different paths to my game installation, but the only result I got was the the launcher doesn't even appear anymore and the game fails to launch completely. I even tried to use wine to open the Oblivion.exe file (thereby skipping the launcher, right?) but wine throws an error and that's it.
I would really love to finally play this game after almost 20 years, so any help is greatly appreciated.
I will also post this to the Oblivion sub, in case anybody can help me from there.
HP 355 G2 / MX Linux 23.6 with Linux 6.1.0-33-amd64 (x86_64) kernel / XFCE 4.20 / AMD A8-640 APU with AMD R5 integrated graphics / 8GB RAM / Crucial BX500 SSD

Distro Migration
hi,I need to migrate from arch linux I am looking for a different linux system as I'm too stupid to use arch, I've enjoyed using linux and don't really wanna go back to windows as the performance gains from a lot of things on the same hardware that I wasn't getting on windows fro things like my creative software and some games I liked to play had major gains on my hardware like Minecraft.
id like a much easier to use distort with less reliance on the terminal, and preferably has a building "App Store".
hopefully I can find something to be my future OS otherwise I might Bite the bullet and going back to windows.
