Dawid is a tech youtuber that usually reviews random hardware and techy things, and he just made a video about his experience switching to Linux.

TL;DR: He liked it and will keep Bazzite on his personal computer.

    With a little bit of tweaking I got Marvel Rivals running with a higher and more consistent framerate on Pop OS vs what I had on Windows.

    This was also with an Nvidia card.

      I haven’t managed to get MR running with a similar performance, it’s one of the few games that runs worse on my linux system. What tweaks have you made?

        I am using an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Processor and ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC Edition 16GB.

        In steam, I use GE-Proton10-10 for the compatibility tool and for the launch options I have: PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 SteamDeck=1 gamemoderun %command% -PSOCompileMode=1

        I found the PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 part to be what made the difference for frame-rate.

          I just tried it and my average FPS went down by 5. Oh well, thanks for the help anyway, it might be dependent on specific setups.

        Do you have an AMD or other “high core count” CPU, by any chance? If so, you may need to use WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY to ensure your CPU is being fully utilized. Without it, you could be using only a fraction of your CPUs available power.
