How to give Valve feedback when Proton games have issues on Linux / SteamOS
Remove some stuff, like Vive Port, which previously caused issues, but then the Vive wouldn't work, but now I have an Index, so removed that crap... and still freezing.
In the midst of troubleshooting the error, it gives you a stopcodes link, which doesn't even list the error it was giving, tried some suggestions like enabling driver verification, which then sent it into a boot loop.
So, needless to say, I give up troubleshooting the damn thing, just gonna re-install... ugh, which means then I get the fun of fixing grub afterward. Good thing I have trusty Debian to kill some time while the media creation tool does it's thing...
Unfortunately, the trick to turn off reprojection doesn't seem to work anymore. I need to make a report about that because the feature is behaving very erratic for me. So bad that I can have a stable 8 MS frame time in SteamVR home and the frametime graph will have whole sections turning orange (which means reprojection is active) while frametimes don't change at all.
All in all, VR definitely a work in progress on Linux.
Set up Windows first, typically on a mechanical HDD (e.g. 2TB), occupying only a small portion of the drive (e.g. the first 500GB) leaving the rest empty. Put in a second hard drive, typically SSD and switch the BIOS to make that the primary boot-up drive. Install Linux, with default grub2 as the boot loader. The grub2 boot loader should detect the Windows partitions and automatically provide a Windows Boot option in the grub2 menu. On start-up, choose which one you want to boot into. Also, I tend to then use LVM2 and set up the remaining space on the "Windows" HDD as additional storage for Linux.
I've not had any conflicts or problems running it this way, and Windows is still able to boot normally, if I take the Linux drive out of the system.
