  • I tried CachyOS. Took three tries for the installer to install without bombing on an error. Third time I got it after changing file system type to ext4 and not using full disk encryption.

    Then I updated everything post-install. Black screen. No boot. AMD CPU and GPU.

    Installed Fedora KDE. Works perfectly. Haven’t looked back in three months since leaving Mint.

    I, too, don’t understand it. I’d rather install straight Arch. The archinstall works fine.








  • WiVRn is so stupid easy to use. You just copy the launch command from the app into the Steam launch options and hit run. It just works. Other than occasional hiccups, it’s the most stable and simple VR application for Linux I’ve used.

    There is also a companion app that doesn’t require installing outside the Meta Quest store (although loading via APK is an option). As long as your headset runs Android, it should just work. The headset app lets you launch games directly from the headset, too.

    SteamVR also works fine if you’re on Wayland and KDE. There is a SteamVR app for Quest and other Android-based headsets that works with the native SteamVR application.
