My issue with Linux is that I lose 3/4 of controls I have with my Radeon graphic card because there is just no Adrenalin control panel at all. There is no control over FSR then, no ability to upgrade FSR3.1 to FSR4, no AFMF, no framerate limiting and optimization through Radeon Chill, no image sharpening, nothing. My Radeon is super advanced, but only under Windows. On Linux it’s just a basic rendering and output device. Then it’s multiplayer games that I play a lot, they either don’t work at all or you need to manually install all the anti-cheat crap through stupendously complicated processes and hope you don’t get banned for it. I also use ReShade a lot in games which doesn’t exist on Linux.
If it wasn’t for all this, I’d be on Fedora or Ubuntu like I am on all other devices and they are fantastic to use for multimedia, office tools and web browsing. I actually prefer KDE or even GNOME over Windows Explorer idiocy. They are both just so nice to use unlike Windows which is arbitrary bullshit smeared on top of some other bullshit.
While this is also that I miss being able to tinker with “natively” with Nvidia, you can upgrade FSR with PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE, same with PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE, limit FPS with either DXVK_FRAME_RATE or something else like mangohud, and ReShade does exist on Linux, you just load it differently, same with stuff like Lossless Scaling. I don’t know what kind of optimizations you use from AMD, but on Nvidia it’s literally just preconfigured graphics settings. Anticheats are shit from a butt, yeah.
Care to give an example which anti cheat games you’re talking about? I’m aware of a few ( like the most recent battlefield) which doesn’t work because EA just doesn’t want to allow it.
But I’m pretty sure I’ve played online games which have anti cheat and it just works without any convoluted install mechanisms.
Maybe these are different games than the ones you’re trying to play.
I don’t know when you last tried gaming on Linux. It’s made a lot of improvements the past few years, but maybe the games you’re mentioning are still wonky.
Sadly that has more to do with games/publishers denying Linux rather than Linux not being able to run the game. The latter is something the proton devs can work on, the former is just hoping for the gamedev/publisher to not be a dick.
I’ve been gaming on Pop and its been great. There’s still some use cases where windows is needed but they don’t apply to me.

use your computer then with games and windows, and get a laptop or second PC for your normal pc experience.

I don’t use an amd, but looks like there are projects for controlling it
