I've been gaming almost exclusively in Linux since roughly start of COVID. It's come a long way. I am this close to VR on Fedora, but it's still not quite working.

I have a Ryzen CPU with onboard graphics and then an Nvidia 3060ti mobile. Rpmfusion drivers in Linux and Nvidia experience in Windows.
Gaming on Linux is superior, on a lot of games! I dual booted and ran benchmarks on Windows 11 and Fedora, same hardware. Ran nothing but the OS and Steam in the background, (gaming mode on and off), oddly found better performance with gaming mode off, then tried the same thing with Fedora. 5-10% higher framerates in Fedora running Proton.
Tried the same thing with synched Firefox tabs, half a dozen open tabs, telegram and discord running. Fedora sometimes hit 15% higher framerates.
I already have an e-ink second screen that sits on the back of an iPhone... 4? 5? It's collecting dust in a drawer, but I swear this is a recycle of an old project. It's already been done!
Also, I have an old Yotaphone.
I run substreamer and tailscale to access my home navidrome. Works like a charm.
I like your tiles. I even bought a t-shirt with one on it!
I have a docker compose immich that I somehow managed to kill fourteen minutes after convincing my wife to switch to it.
My older sister best the snot it of me... And anyone else who picked on me. I no longer speak at her.
Calgary Shawarma. I don't know his name, but my grandfather was sick and I was stuck at work (working on a phone line repair at the auto shop next door.) Dead of winter, miserable cold. Then my mom calls: Grandpa died. Shawarma guy overheard this, I'm sitting in my van crying. Knock on my window. Guy hands me a Shawarma. "Boss, you should come in to my shop, have some food, get warm. No charge." He sat and listened to my grandpa stories until I had it together and could go back to finish my job.
Seriously, total stranger, and he was there for me on one of my worst days, and I'll never forget.
Me too!
I'm a bit farther along, but it's all been trial and error (and error, and error..) So, commenting because I would also like some of this info. My DNS is a disaster! Still using IPs to access my VMs, mostly.
For me, the most noticeable gain was in Monster Hunter World, but it was what I ran the tests on. I also played a lot of Earth Defense Force 5 and Genshin Impact. GI was always finnicky to get running. MHW did take longer to launch, and the new Monster Hunter Wild takes obnoxiously long to launch on first run after an update.
