I understand, and trust me, I do try to be sympathetic to the myriad issues people can encounter switching to Linux. But I'm primarily a PC gamer and I've been and to make do. I can play popular titles like Elden Ring and Persona 5 Royal as well as competitive titles like Trackmania 2020 (and even install all the mods I want through OpenPlanet which doesn't have explicit Linux support).

There is for sure a cost that comes with Linux, either learning how to troubleshoot that performance issue or accepting it. But I'm advocating for an awareness of the cost of the tradeoffs staying in Windows; losing control over your hardware.

It's worth periodically reevaluating, and not being able to play games with anti-cheat is kind of the point because the AC itself is becoming an obscene and unreasonable ask on their end.

Definitely better to get away from windows. I have an Nvidia Gpu, which is probably part of why I see the frame rate drop. I can still boot into Win10 to play some games, but really don’t do it that often.
