Garuda favorizing gaming on Linux by a lot of interesting tools and apps. As it is an Arch rolling-release, you should be able to locate, discuss and manage issues on Linux. Most of the time it is rock solid, but from time to time some third-party patches could get a bit wired until they found and fixed the issue.
I tried that one it feels similar to Windows 10 and I played Dreamcore with it no issues I hope the game gets completed which I feel it might not be. I am running a dual boot for now to see how well everything works and it's just as good as SteamOS if not better. I am enjoying Garuda Dragonized because the main theme reminds me of MacOS except better and faster performance I must admit if any Linux distro I can handle is Garuda idk why or what is drawing me into it but it's the only thing getting me hooked on Linux.
Now I've been gaming on KDE Dragonized Gaming Edition for two years and I can say it was an excellent experience, both as an introduction to Arch and as a Steam platform.
Yeah, in the end, the choice toward which distribution you choose is 'look and feel'. Besides that, it helps a lot if your community is friendly and helpful as the Garuda forum shows up.
There is no discussion about DE, choose what you like best and what your distribution fully supports. Before Garuda, I did some testing with the major Arch distributions, just without doing an Arch from scrach over full terminal installation process. There are some interesting ones availible, but all have their ups and downs, same as Garuda, but when it comes to gaming, this is the one with the most interest and support from scrach. Well, my process of choice isn't finished yet and actually I'm using a SSD-switcher rack, so changing OS is a simple re-start and exchange away. Would really like to see Garuda with a Deepin DE some day...
Have fun testing!
I tell people I like Linux but I don't like the ones turning it into an occult or the Linux elitist non sense but I do like Linux so far because of SteamOS. I think Valve needs to add the penguin on their list of support since they know they want to. Proton works fine maybe people will put more emulation on Steam as long as they don't force you to buy it since it's technically illegal and you SHOULD only be backing up your games not pirating them which would be cool we got rom dumpers and a way to dump our discs from GameCube onto the computer. That would be nice if Project 64 HD had a Steam import so it can work without using Wine officially. I know Steam has now imported Retroarch which is cool cause you can turn your Linux desktop into a retro console. I can see Linux having a future if people adopted it more giving it a chance but I think people are too afraid because they think they need to work some hard core scripting or something. That is a thing of the past some distros like Garuda everything is basically on demand unless it's one of those distros like EndeavourOS where you have to manually install everything which is not that hard because you can do it through the chaotic aur if fish chooses to fail.
You can check if grub mounts the filesystem as uuid.
/etc/fstab
Grub gives you a lot of possibilities to use its own console during startup.
You can also try installing another additional kernel.
There are many possibilities, but I had no experience with the garuda.
My experience tells me that this is one of those problems of young linux clones, those where "everything" is easier, but when something doesn't work it's harder to fix.
You can use the help of wiki arch, people say it's good.
But I have a different opinion, when I was looking for a solution to the problems with steam os it turned out that the arch wiki is outdated and contains many bugs. The debian wiki came to the rescue, and I solved the problem. So if you want, you can use the debian wiki, and solve the problem. Linuxes are very flexible, but in some clones repairing is difficult, as in windows.
But you're probably already sitting on a different distribution
I gave up after finding out there's no Meta Quest support xD it would be nice to put on a seperate computer or a laptop though. I would get a Valve Index to run VR games on Linux but that's way too expensive I am actually still wanting to support the distro too I'm still supporting Linux but never knew there wasn't Meta Quest support which is a bummer maybe somewhere in the future Meta will start supporting Linux.
Unfortunately Cachy had the same sluggish desktop UI that most distributions suffer, Nobara has it the worst. Fedora and Mint were just about as quick as Windows. I wish this issue were getting more attention, it should be a priority.
CachyOS is definitely worth watching. If the goal is game performance at the cost of all else, Cachy is the system to use. Not that there is much being sacrificed. Excellent installer configuration and wiki too.
You can use allvr.
Oculus had a driver for linux, but when facebook bought them, they removed it.
And they fired the one who created this company and vr in today's shape.
By buying vr headsets from "meta" (they changed the name of the company as a result of the controversy of terrible behavior) you support such behavior.
I am looking at that right now but will still need a durable Bluetooth Adapter in order to see if anything works. I do hear that it can be a bit laggy and I even trouble shooted my WiFi adapter on Linux to make it work without WiFi dropping all the time figuring out that my drivers weren't properly installed. If I knew how to get more stuff to work on Linux I would be using it more plus I like using VRChat I still like supporting Garuda Linux though and yes I love CachyOS as well I tried them out but their Wayland bugs out a lot changing themes I know Garuda Linux is doing updates on Dragonized imagine if official Meta support did make it to Linux Mark Zuckerberg would get a lot of support I would run my PlayStation VR2 but I don't know if anyone has had any success or not with the official adapter or third party adapter. BTW if anyone wants to try Linux it's better to Virtual Machine it or dual boot it and have plenty of storage which is how I am trying to use Linux I think Linux Mint so far is the one that has potential and to me has 2000s vibes although I would install Arch Linux but last time some how I broke it and gave up when I selected a theme it only took me an hour to install it and break something haha I might try it again if I get the chance I never used Arch Install and configured everything even though I am a noob at Linux it will be my first year completely using Linux or well trying it at least with Windows 10 as my main Operating System.
I didn't install Garuda and Cachy. I don't plan to install this, I don't like being a beta tester, I only use clones if they don't turn off after a short blink, like most clones do.
I guarantee you that Mark Zuckerberg doesn't give a damn about you, and he will do everything to ensure Linux doesn't grow.
The ps vr2 that's cool vr. Sony has a long history of poor support for Linux.
All hope is that some stubborn person will come up with something that will allow its use against the will of the producer.
Some devices simply do not work on Linux because their manufacturers want them not to work. You simply can choose not to buy them.
But I believe that Linux is not for you, don't push yourself into it.
If you want to try, maybe take mint, or pop os. Both have a good history of good long-term use with steam for new users in the long run.
You either take Linux or you don't. Don't think that you will run every program from windows on it, many companies simply do not want their programs to work on Linux.
That's why people create substitutes that are often better.
Do not try to look for a Linux that is as similar to Windows as possible. You will find such a thing, and it will turn out that it is indeed very similar. In appearance and behavior.
But I remind you that you are looking for something else.
