Just tried running HLA again with a recent NVIDIA driver update. Ran smooth as can be with minimal stutter. I think Ill finally give it a play through on hard with the commentary.

Distro: Manjaro

Card: 1080ti

Driver: 455.45.01

I'm looking to get twitch chat overlays working on Linux. Other more general overlays would also be great. Any one tried this before with any luck?

On windows I use OVRdrop, but doing this under proton only shows a white box.

Since I haven't seen it anywhere else on this. Subreddit

Might as well ask anybody that comes by with their opinion what is the best way to play VR titles on Linux.

Looking around the best way is probably through steamvr.

But are there alternatives to that?

Like an itch.io or other standalone game site, should it be specifically ported for Linux?

In the case of wine layers would that be a complete non-Starter?

I know there's a couple different Minecraft mods What do people think it's the best one and have they encountered any issues on Linux?

Where should a new user start? Also, what are some known issues that they'll more than likely encounter.
