That sounds extremely fake.

Do you have anything to back up this fever dream?

This makes way too much sense, don’t know how I didn’t see it before!

Thanks for the recommendations! I was already kind of considering switching to Fedora so Bazzite sounds good, although CachyOS sounds interesting too.

I feel like I’m getting performance below what I’ve been getting on windows for the same games when I’m booting in Linux. Top of the head example is COD WWII, the gameplay and cutscenes stagger a lot but runs fine on windows with the same hardware. I’ve checked that my graphics card is being used by Linux but I just feel like I’m missing some settings that would optimise it.

I’m running Linux mint with a NVIDIA GTX1070. I know there’s some issues with NVIDIA and Linux but would that be the full reason?
