KDE Neon using X11 with latest stable kernel+Mesa.

I run an RX6600 and haven’t had any freezing issues. Which version of Mesa and which games? If it’s all OpenGL games that would be rather strange.

You can use holo-iso. Hopefully they’ll make it official eventually.

SteamOS is really evolving into something incredible. Now that it supports HDR and VRR it has become one of the best gaming experiences imo. It’s the fine tuning of a PC alongside the ease of use of a game console.

I use an RX6600 and I can tell you that I get a lot of loss when compared to Windows too.

You should also mention which nvidia driver you’re running btw

I’ve found that it depends heavily on what game you’re playing. I wouldn’t say 20% loss is uncommon.

You could try using a kernel tuned for gaming but it probably won’t make up the difference.

Honestly you’re probably better off not comparing to Windows. You’ll often fall short performance and feature wise.

Edit: I’ve also found that people tend to oversell Linux. We desperately want more users but exaggerations do more harm than good.
