I’ve been working on converting my gaming PC to Linux for a few weeks, but everything is running, but it all is just a little jankier than I would like.

I have an 8th gen Intel i7 and an Rtx 2070, running Arch linux.

Sometimes I boot up and my mouse doesn’t work and I have to restart. Sometimes I launch games and they just don’t launch right.

It feels like I’m doing a lot of work for no benefit. In fact, Elden ring runs way worse on my Linux partition than my Windows partition.

I’ve tried GE proton, gamemode, steam compatibility, everything… I’m sorry but I’m going to have to stick with Windows for gaming.

Obviously NixOS is the way to go for a gaming OS, just use the right flake and you’re all set!

Nah, use Gentoo, you’ll be hard-pressed to find something simpler.

I started using Linux when I was in high school. LFS has been my end goal, my Linux graal ever since. It’s only been 23 years, I’ll take care of it someday soon©.

Even simpler! Nothing to get between you and the kernel. :)
