Some evil Witch has kidnapped the Queen's children. As the Royal Wizard, it's up to your to rescue them. The only problem is that the Queen is a bit brutal, and has cut you in half. You're a Wizard though, so apparently being cut in half is no big deal.

I recently change to x11 from wayland because i dont try it never and i have curiosity, so i was going to launch a game with gamescope and it wont launch, i launch steam from the console to see the logs and it says this:

SteamVR System Report: https://upload.bhm.gg/f/misc/kzc-wQFI.SteamVR-2025-04-06-PM_11_00_35.txt (Sorry it's not viewable directly; it's too long for pastebin)

(I sure hope that doesn't contain any sensitive info; a cursory inspection indicates no, but it's >30,000 lines long, so...)

Some other system info:

Kernel: 6.12.21-1-lts Distro: Arch Linux DE: Plasma 6.3.4 (Wayland) GPU: Ryzen 9 7900 X3D (primary display) GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XTX (VR Headset)

I've been trying to use my Valve Index through SteamVR on my Arch Linux desktop with Plasma 6 Wayland, and I've been getting code 496: Unable to Connect to Headset Display.

My first instinct was that something was wrong with the cable, but I'm not convinced that's the case.

The headset's display shows up in Plasma's Display Configuration under settings as a 60Hz 640x480 DisplayPort display, which is generally what the Index display shows up as to software that doesn't know what it is (e.g., Windows/Plasma display settings) when it's working properly. I can change a lot of the settings, but the displays don't show anything and appear to be off; I'm not sure if displaying content is a good heuristic since I don't think they're supposed to, but I figured I should mention it. For this reason, I'm pretty sure the cable is properly carrying the DisplayPort signal.

SteamVR is also able to connect to all of my base stations and controllers (and seems to be getting all of the telemetry like accelerometer/gyro data), so the wireless device in the headset is working correctly. And any USB device I plug into the USB port on the headset works fine. I can also access the cameras over USB. The only thing that casts any doubt on the USB connection not working is that I can't tell applications (e.g., Discord) to use the Headset's headphones and microphone, but I think SteamVR tries to prevent this if you're not in VR (it's been a while; I don't really remember), so for all I know it's working fine.

Is it possible that something is wrong with Plasma's DRM leasing? DRM leasing was the reason I switched from Hyprland to Plasma since it got broken when they switched from wlroots to their own bespoke solution. It wouldn't surprise me if it got broken here too, especially since the only application for it I'm aware of is VR, which isn't exactly a priority for most Linux developers.

I tried switching DisplayPort ports, but that didn't change anything.

Also, are there any alternatives to SteamVR for Linux? SteamVR's performance and stability have been inconsistent for me in the past, though it's been a while since I've used it regularly so maybe that's changed. And Steam's support for SteamVR on Linux has been profoundly unhelpful for me in the past (still waiting for a response on this issue, though, so we'll see), but again, it's been a while, so maybe it's gotten better.

I'm aware of Monado, but I'm not sure about basically anything about it other than that it's an open-source alternative OpenXR runtime to SteamVR. It at least seems to be actively maintained, but information about it online is scant. What little I've been able to find online about it is mostly about ALVR and connecting wirelessly with Quest, which I'm not doing. It also doesn't seem to be targetted at end-users right now; most of the documentation seems to be for contributors (no info on installation, setup, etc.), and there's no system package for it. It's available on the AUR, but the main package fails to build. Is it ready for end-users? What are its performance characteristics? Is it ready for daily use?

When a new version of the liquorix kernel is released on the ppa, will the old version installed on the PC be removed during the update or will the new kernel version be installed alongside the old one so I can switch back to that one in case of issues?

So I've used Vanilla Arch for my entire time using Linux.
I've decided to do a system reinstall recently as I've started wanting to do things allot differently with my system although I also generally just don't feel like dedicating that time to setting up Vanilla Arch. [Especially since I plan to hopefully have everything setup within 6 hours from now]
With that I've looked around and my two options seem to be CachyOS and PikaOS.
As an Arch user I am leaning heavily into CachyOS but I also have some interest towards PikaOS and I've decided that I should ask here to hopefully get some advice from those more knowledgeable about the two operating systems then me.

In light of Windows 10 losing support this year and me not wanting to find out what kinda stuff Microsoft will start doing after that I have decided to switch both of my PCs to Linux before october. I will be gaming and watching media on both of them.

The first system is my travel mini-pc with

an rtx 4060ti

a ryzen 5 5600x

32gb of ram

and 2tb of storage.

That's the one I will be installing Linux first (as soon as in 2 weeks) on as a "trial phase" to learn the ropes of daily driving Linux.

The second system is my main home PC with

a rx 6800xt

a ryzen 7 5800x3d

32gb of ram

and 1tb of storage currently but I will probably upgrade soon since it's still a pcie gen 3 drive

This one I will probably install Linux on quite a bit later, sometime around july-september I'm thinking.

For my main pc I don't mind having to take time to set everything up but for my travel pc I would prefer it to be an easier experience.

I have already asked a friend for recommendations and they recommended Ubuntu for the travel pc and Arch for the main pc, however I'm getting a second opinion here to make sure those are actually good options.

We’re a two-person dev team. Puzzle Dazzle is a puzzle game inspired by Tetris Effect and Lumines.

The game features 50 handcrafted levels, each designed to be a unique audiovisual experience. We've also included 2 distinct game modes to keep the gameplay fresh and replayable.

Our goal was to blend engaging puzzle mechanics with a rich, immersive atmosphere — and we’d love for you to experience it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1588790

The game is fully optimised to run natively on Linux. If you have a steamdeck the game runs great there as well.
