From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I did the switch to full time linux gaming a few weeks ago.

Initially I was on PoP OS but I wasn't happy with it. I reinstalled everything on Cachyos and it has been very good so far.

Here are the main "hurdles" that I think I should not have encountered in my "liberation" :

I activated FDE in cachyos but the LUKS decryption prompt was never on my keyboard layout so I could never decrypt with the original key. I should not have to handle keyboard layout issues when decrypting FDE. This would be fatal to any beginner.
I still think the tinkering with proton is too involved. Some command line arguments should be activated automatically depending on your setup. Players should be able to anonymously opt-in to sharing settings for all the game they start.
Mouse sensitivity is wonky on many linux distros for gaming. Mouse acceleration should not be a default if you target gamers. I dont care if original Arch has this default. 99% of FPS players avoid it.

That being said, leaving Windows makes me incredibly happy and I'm very thankful for the great opportunity the open source community has given me through great free software.

Mouse acceleration sucks in general. My work computer is a Mac an until Sonoma came out I needed a dedicated app to disable mouse acceleration. I agree with your other points as well.

I still had some issues with the mouse speed on cachyos even after I disabled acceleration. I felt off on its default and I ended up boosting it. Thing is my mouse has its speed inbuilt so I don't need external software or anything else to configure it on Linux so I don't understand why I had to boost the speed to make it behave a bit better, it felt like there was some latency as well.
