Way too big of a price to pay.

I'm at 50 / 50. Went 100% Linux 6 months ago and never looked back. Didn't even bother with dual booting, it's all in or nothing.

I still don't get what's so weird?

What’s the best distro for gaming on linux? Any tips and tricks? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I just made the switch from Windows to Linux a week ago and here are my thoughts:

Use Xwayland if you have several monitors with different refresh rates.
I switched from Xorg to Xwayland because I have three monitors with different refresh rates and Xorg doesn't work well with several refresh rates. XWayland is Wayland but with backwards compatibility so you can run Xorg applications as well.

Use Btrfs filesystem on your drives
Btfs is in my opinion the more modern filesystem and it can handle a lot more files than Ext4.

My parts:

  • AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
  • AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX
  • 32 GB memory

I am on Arch Linux with KDE plasma as desktop environment and XWayland as display server.
My experience has generally been positive except some annoyances in the beginning and I will never switch back. Although if I wanted less complicated setup but still Arch, I would go with Endevour OS.

I am really happy with the performance so far. I can max out FPS in Overwatch 2 (600 is max) with no stutter or anything.
I get 240 fps in Mount and blade: Bannerlord 2 and same thing here, no stutter.

I'll be joining the Linux team soon! My new parts arrive in a couple of days and I will only use Linux from here on out, except at work unfortunately.
