I use Linux daily at home, and I think it may be important to note my experiences and my setup:
Intel CPU, RTX 2070, 1440p@160Hz screen (with HDR, which doesnt work). ArchLinux.
What works:
- every game I want to play, from multiplayer shooters, over single player games, super old games, racing games, simulator games, etc. works. Some required going to protondb and reading there, applying the fixes.
- programming/work obviously is possible when it wasnt on windows (much better dev experience)
- I have a live boot arch iso USB because every few months, an update bricks my install. No idea why, but it does. I do read the update mails. The fix is usually to boot into the USB, mount my drives, chroot, mkinitcpio, and reboot. I suspect it's an issue with some driver or firmware.
- I use Xorg KDE Plasma, works very well. No visual issues. You dont have to switch to wayland ;)
