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.

Just a heads up, but gaming on an external drive with bazzite is a nightmare (if you end up trying to go that route).

    Not an external drive, just my second nvme

    My bad, that's what I mean. Whatever drive bazzite is not installed on is difficult to deal with when it comes to flatpak steam. There's a bunch of mount params you are supposed to use but for me they didn't work whatsoever on bazzite.

    Bazzite doesn't use flatpak steam. Standard rpm install with no sandboxing.

    If you installed it that's entirely your fault.
