- {{< icon name="nvidia" >}} Nvidia users: use the version that's [officially listed as production](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/). new feature/beta versions tend to have issues. open driver recommended on 20 series cards or newer.
- {{< icon name="amd" >}} AMD users: use Mesa 24+ radeonsi, kernel 6.7.3+ if possible, stay away from amdpro.
## Dual-GPU Systems
- AMD+AMD laptop or desktop: Amazing choice, you have nothing to do.
- Intel+AMD desktop: Disable your iGPU in BIOS.
- Intel+Nvidia desktop: Disable your iGPU in BIOS.
- Intel+Nvidia laptop:
- Ubuntu: Try the official Ubuntu solution `prime-select nvidia`.
- Other: Use `optimus-manager-qt` and switch to Nvidia, don't try to mix `prime-run` and VR. Use regular nvidia proprietary driver instead of nvidia-open.
- Make ABSOLUTELY sure you don't have weird stuff like amdvlk, including lib32 installed when you have Nvidia (check `ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d`)
- Stick to the PRODUCTION branch of Nvidia drivers (535 as of writing), newer ones may or may not work.
## Installing Steam
If the `steam` package is available on your distro, we recommend starting with that. For headsets using ALVR, the flatpak steam can work, but it's more of an advanced topic. ALVR docs can help you with that.
