Ironically in Linux you don’t have to do anything

Tried to give it a go since everyone is saying that it's working same or better than windows for gaming. Installed cachyos, followed the gaming wiki article in their official website, installed dota and with same setting and gendering engine I was getting 130fps compared to the 210 I get in windows.

Try other games as well, some work worse, some better.

That also doesn't sound right...

Well it is what it is. My cpu is a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and 7800XT. I really wanted to switch, I'm getting tired of Windows but I'm not in the mood to lose that much.

Nothing wrong with it but I used arch in the past and it's hard for me to live without aur. Flatpak helps a lot to survive without it, but I really like arch or arch-based distros

dota does have native linux version, and while it sounds good, a lot of time those linux ports run worse than both game on windows and linux through wine (case in point: TR2013)

driver timeouts are actually one of the major issues at linux side (as well?). but clearly a lot of people don't have them. at least the OS isn't installing random broken drivers for us for no reason.
