Rare that a game doesn’t work after at least 3 hours of tinkering*

Performance in Linux is better overall but not gaming. Gaming on Linux is a hellhole and I really recommend you don’t get into it because it’s a far cry from what’s being promoted on Linux subs. I use both, Windows on my Laptop and I keep Pop!_OS on an external HDD. Out of the 3 distros I used, it gives you far less headache especially if you have Nvidia GPU. I also tried dual booting before but it’s not a very good experience especially during updates.
