I am on Linux mint.

So, this is a clean install of repear through a YouTube tutorial I used so there aren’t any new audio drivers I have but the standard Linux mint ones.
I am also a beginner so I might not understand some stuff, just act like I am 4 years old lol

Whenever I activate JACK in reaper it tells me that it basically can’t recognize an audio device even though I have my irig 2 plugged in.
This means I have to use ALSA which I’m guessing is similar to the standard windows drivers, so basically a standard driver that might not have the highest quality?
My issue with alsa is, that i notice it’s low quality. I have a weird white noise over everything and my guitar has a lot of gain over it (this could be a user error though)

Due to space constraints I have my other keyboard laying on top of the keyboard of my laptop. This results to it sometimes pressing the keys on my laptop keyboard which can get a bit annoying

I’m on Linux and proton translates DirectX into Vulkan. The problem is is that my CPU or its iGPU doesn’t necessarily work great with Vulkan (older Intel CPU), to the point that it’s unplayable on Linux compared to on windows. Now, since I don’t want to fight against windows anymore I’m looking for a way to play it through openGL since in my case it does work better than Vulkan

Edit: command as in Steam
