I was assuming the commenter I replied to was talking about unoptimized AAA games that overly rely on on DLSS.

animal well looks cool tho I’ll have to check it out! love the art style.

you can absolutely run newer titles with a 1080/1080ti. maybe not at 4k max settings, but a little bit of compromise should easily get at least 60fps in most titles.

I use bazzite. I prefer fedora (that’s what I have on my laptop) but the Nvidia drivers consistently give me trouble with fedora on my desktop. I’d get it stable for a little bit then something broke. eventually I got tired of it and tried bazzite since I had heard it was better in that regard. I love the out of the box Nvidia support as well as the HDR support with no extra steps. I’m really not a fan of immutable distros in general, I think rebuilding the ostree everytime I need to install a system package not available in any other way is super annoying, but it just works and that enough for me right now. I also enjoy some of the software it comes packaged with, like btrfs snapper and a very comprehensive ffmpeg build. I’ll probably switch away from it to try something new this summer, but at least until my finals are over I just need it’s stability.
