Please don't say Bazzite as I wasn't able to get SteamVR working on it. I'm looking for alternatives. The current plan is to try plain old Ubuntu instead.

Is your issue getting it to start at all, or performance issues?

For me it wouldnt start at all in the default big picture mode and would only start in desktop mode.

I made a few tweaks to get performance tuned up when I was on the Vega64, but I don't remember what all I did there.

edit: Also, I'm the KDE desktop (i wanted my HTPC/VRPC to be as steamdeck similar as possible, and also I have strong anti gnome feelings).
