Thanks for the recommendations! I was already kind of considering switching to Fedora so Bazzite sounds good, although CachyOS sounds interesting too.

I feel like I’m getting performance below what I’ve been getting on windows for the same games when I’m booting in Linux. Top of the head example is COD WWII, the gameplay and cutscenes stagger a lot but runs fine on windows with the same hardware. I’ve checked that my graphics card is being used by Linux but I just feel like I’m missing some settings that would optimise it.

I’m running Linux mint with a NVIDIA GTX1070. I know there’s some issues with NVIDIA and Linux but would that be the full reason?

GrapheneOS often picks up security flaws in the android open source project and fixes them before google goes. I won’t claim they fix everything but I’ve seen enough examples of things they fix over AOSP that make me doubt they wouldn’t have fixed something like that (on top of keeping everything updated). Maybe you weren’t referring to Graphene but still worth a shoutout for being a very (the most?) secure operating system.

I’m doing a python introduction course, I’ve made a hangman game and caeser cypher builder so far. It’s just started getting into dictionaries so it would probably have something to do with that
