After a long time playing keyboard and mouse, I recently bought an xbox controller and played a few games out. I found a mountain biking game called Descenders and it's brilliant, I don't care much for mountainbiking irl but there's something about this game that gives a feeling of such control over the bike, almost as if you can feel the weight of it and how responsive it is, and landing jumps perfectly gives such a satisfying feeling of flow.

I'm not sure if it makes sense, but would you recommend any other games that give this kind of feeling? Not necessarily about bikes

so after using linux mint on my work laptop for a couple of months to properly feel what linux is (i last used ubuntu on a VM for a high school cybersecurity class), i decide that i want to use it on my gaming desktop for the first time. because of dual boot, i plan to use linux for indie and low-spec games exclusively on steam (in particular games that are steam deck compatible), and windows for games on the epic store, AAA titles with ray-tracing graphics, and games with those pesky EA and ubisoft launchers.

for specs i use an AMD ryzen 7 9700X, nvidia RTX 4070 ti super, and a 2TB SSD for dual boot. will the GPU be a hassle for gaming on linux? i’ve heard many bad news about nvidia drivers not properly supporting linux, and if this is the case i’ll just stick with AMD’s integrated graphics.

i'm also asking if i should i try out a different linux distro for gaming like pop or bazzite, or do i stick with mint for familiarity? i plan to get comfortable with this distro until steamOS becomes stable for a desktop PC.

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Linux. I used the CachyOS distro for a short time and didn't encounter any problems with Geometry Dash on it. However, on Zorin OS, I'm experiencing significant lag when playing the game.
For context, I'm using an RTX 3080 GPU, 32 GB of RAM, and an Intel 13th generation processor; a 240 Hz monitor unlocked to 360 FPS in-game.
I am using the Nvidia 580.95.05 driver.

I installed Geometry Dash via Steam and ran it with GE-Proton 10.25, Proton Experimental, and Proton Hotfix, but I always encounter the same issues.
I haven't been able to identify the cause of this very significant lag (the game seems to be running at 30-45 FPS instead of 360, even though it detects that it is running at 360 FPS).

Can you give me some possible solutions that I could try? Thanks in advance!
