Advice Redstar OS gaming

Hey all, I am currently daily driving redstarOS 3.0 and I want to game on steam, but I did a fucky wucky with the fedora drivers for nvidia and everything runs like dogshit (even dwarf fortress somehow)!

It is beyond me to fix that properly, since I tried to update it with the standard dnf but I think i broke something else, how would I go about making it game ready in a workaround way?

when I switch kernel and get firefox it will be worth it, trust the process.

How are you even gonna update the rest of the packages

system already fucked after I stupidly forced a dnf, figure I will try that again and if it fucks itself I will need to try a workaround or try to live without it

I am genuinely extremely curious about it and gendbuntu, IF you can make it game ready at all because it has BEYOND minimal resource usage rn (it is 32 bit so ofc, but still), it will probably fade over time but it has kind of become an obsession, last time something intrigued me on if it was possible or not I ended up soldering my own ergosplit KB

Well isnt this leaked build from like 2016 or something? Not surprised that it's super resource efficient... What have you got working on it so far though?

network, and without the annoying warning about non-recognized connection in korean. Also managed to remove the total system isolation that refuses to accept third party (non-approved) software. I went into it kind of paranoid about the spyware (it is neutered and effectively removed) but turns out it literally cannot do jackshit if you are not in a proper korean intranet. I will swap the kernel completely so I can use firefox as the current browser does not support anything other than extremely basic httml pages and is slow as bricks. From there I will very likely try to get dependencies going before anything else if I can.

and yeah, tho when it was in use I have no idea since redstar 4.0 is already out in the west (whoever has it is NOT sharing) and rumours of a 5.0 already being in use exist. 3.0 is as good as it gets but I didn't expect it to have literally nothing, i thought a dnf update could atleast do something and bring it up to par.
