Good morning, sorry if this post could be the classic post in which someone doesn’t know whether to switch to Linux for gaming but I’m looking for advice. If I put the wrong flair I apologize and will be ready to correct.

Let me start by saying that I already use Linux on my laptop to study (arch) and I use the Steam Deck with Steam OS and I know some basic commands but obviously I can’t know everything so if I say something wrong I ask you to correct me please.

I have a desktop PC with these specifications:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU: ASUS NVidia GeForce RTX 2070

RAM: 32GB DDR4 3600MHz

NVME: 2tb

Microphone: Wave Link: 1 (A challenge to use on linux)

In the past I also dualbooted this PC with Arch and it worked quite well but the situation was still from a few months ago.

​

My following doubts for now are these:

​

1. Screenshare for discord, I prefer to use wayland, sometimes I happen to be on a call with my friends and unfortunately I can’t share some windows and I can’t even share the audio and it’s frustrating, I know they have introduced some solutions but I’m not sure which would work better.

2. My microphone, I remember that I have headphones connected to my microphone and that no one could hear the microphone during the call but I could hear the audio of the entire PC and the others speaking.I think I could solve it by connecting the headphones to the motherboard.

3. Some games absolutely don’t work on Linux and I don’t know how to fix it, from what I know Call Of Duty, Kingdom Hearts and certainly others.

4. I’m afraid of losing too much performance on some games but I think it’s not serious.

​

I’m sure I’m forgetting some points but I can make an edit if necessary.

Let me start by saying that I have always wanted to switch to Linux but that a friend of mine has already done so and is happy with it and also under his advice I am considering changing, Windows has caused me a lot of problems with updates and licenses.

Thanks in advance and have a nice day.
