Meh i find it slow.
CrossOver am pretty sure was designed to be easy and way more compatible to run Windows apps/games.
My favorite game :D
Cinnamon, Feels like Gnome done right,it's stable,customizable,Mehh resource intensive. Sadly no HDR AND VRR and a bit messy underneath the hood but I can use gamescope for HDR and VRR and i kinda wish the extension ecosystem was great. My workflow idk but I rarely use gtile actions like Send to kde connect and file converting is useful.
A reason why I never joined LW.
Same bro, game OST (Especially Touhou,Tf2,Halflife and Portal) are the shit.
So basically Librewolf + Gentoo patches + fire jail patches + custom theme
Or a computer you use once a year or smth.
If you want CachyOS I highly recommend you to have atleast Haswell or Alteast Ryzen If you use AMD due to their Compiled packages and stuff.
Endeavor os If you don't have atleast haswell/Ryzen.
Stock Arch If your fine building it.
Debian I wouldn't recommend to use for a pc you use often.
Popos I never used it before but it seems like a "stable gaming" Distro.
Mint is also a great option I use it on pcs I sometimes use and it's also easy to use.
The only thing i use google for is lens and couldnt find a good replacement for it,Tineye is subpar.
