But I've spent most of the time tweaking and setting up and downloading stuff rather than actually playing. Games seem to work really well. Not doing benchmarking but I really like how stable the framerate is when frame cap is in place. So far everything I've tried was absolutely buttery smooth.

Haven't been around Linux overall for long, with my first proper introduction around early 2021. But from what I hear and read, plus my own observations in those past 2.5 years, even if, most of the time, it's not "ideal" (as in, "plug and play"), Linux as a whole seems to be getting better and better for gaming. And ever since behemoth Valve came with the Linux-powered Steam Deck, I expect it to help increase Linux's naturally-slow-but-constant momentum even more.

I've trialed Pop_OS for a month when Valve released proton. I played Sekiro the first week of release and was blown away how well it runs back then. That said, there were a lot of quirks that made games still broken, and there are definitely still some, but the improvement since then is absolutely massive.
