Moving from windows 10
So basically what the title says. I mainly game on my pc, use it to watch movies with my wife, office things and browsing. I used it previously for some photoshop but nothing professional anymore and the occasional Unreal engine fun. My PC has an intel i5 4690K 16GB of ram and a 1660TI.
I have 5 ssd drives (no m.2 slots although I considered a PCI-E card at some point) and I have one of those 512GB dedicated to linux.
My experience so far has been with bazzite which was somewhat troublesome after a point with some boot issues so I went back to windows. I tried mint, couldn't get past the initial installation from a USB, the whole desktop would be blank and I figured that was because of my GPU. I installed fedora by disabling the GPU and haven't went back there to install the drivers and enabling the GPU again.
My main concern has been whether the already installed steam games from windows will be able to be recognized in Linux or will I need to format them and download them again (NTFS drives) because after a long shift or a long day I don't think I have the capacity to troubleshoot any boot issues wait for stuff to download from scratch on a 100mbps line which barely hits 80mbps. I intend to keep windows on their 256GB hard drive to go back and forth in case I need something but I would like to avoid reformatting my game drives so that they can continue being identified on windows if possible.
I know that numbers FPS wise and CPU are better on linux so far but this has been my main concern.
I greatly appreciate all input positive and negative.

Need some advices for Goverlay
I have a NUC (MagicNUC AG2) with bazzite for couch gaming. I wanted to use Goverlay to do some fine thuning and easily use Optiscaler and vkBasalt but I saw Bazzite team removed it from their images because it caused serious troubles/breackages for some users.
They also recommend usobg distrobox to install it but I bet this will interfear with some conf Goverlay will try to do if it't isolated. Does anyone here use it with bazzite and confirm, if you don't do shit without verifying of course, it work without issues/breakages or is it a no go with bazzite ?

How much of a performance loss is there for a 1660 Ti on Linux?
I'm getting increasingly disappointed with Microsoft, so I'm considering switching to Linux. However it seems like NVIDIA graphics cards has a performance loss issue on Linux.
My graphics card is a 1660 Ti. I mostly play AAA games on consoles, and the games I play on PC are mainly for emulation, indie games, games that require mods, etc. So I have no problem using this card, but since it is an old GPU, it would probably be difficult to switching Linux if the performance loss is severe.
If I use Linux on a PC with a 1660 Ti, how much performance loss will there be compared to Windows?

Which controller should I get?
I hate my old xbox one controller, even the wired connection is bad because the port wasn't made good back then. I will use it on my main pc with linux and on my MacBook, so I'm split between two choices Xbox Controller (Model 1914) and Sony's ps5 controller, which one should I choose, what are the pros and cons, what are the limitations with linux?

Should I buy an LCD STEAMDECK?
So I wanted to pick up a Steamdeck, but right now the OLED model being 800+ is out of my budget. I was considering getting a used LCD model. Thoughts??

Using CachyOS want to switch to a non-Arch gaming distro
Been using it for almost 2 months, but i have fear of it breaking, i don't want to use btrfs for snapshots, i'm good with ext4, i also use it for work and coding, so i'm thinking of switching to Nobara or Bazzite, what do you say, i'm loyal to KDE btw.
Nobara or Bazzite, what do you recommend?
