I just want a OS, that just install and work for all the things I want to do, without installing other stuff, because I need it to play some game or whatever.

Sounds like nobara or bazzite to me
Or basically any distro and steam tbh
here we go again...
Prays that 2025 is the year for solid NVIDIA support for Linux
I actually no longer have any Nvidia related issues, I think it is already here
With nouveau open source driver?
Nah proprietary, unfortunately last I checked nouveau still kinda sucks performance wise
I'm not entirely sold - a lot of the time when troubleshooting games for my Ubuntu lappy I stumble across Nvidia issue threads.
They've definitely been a big problem in the past
As of 550 they seem to have worked out the glaring issues at least in my experience
Might be worth spinning up an external 1080ti on the lappy and see if the magic is finally there!
I just wanna be able to play Rocket League on Linux. Is that so much to ask?
I literally used this as an example to demonstrate gaming on Linux is easy now
Works perfectly out of the box, all you gotta do is install steam, download it and click play
You install Steam, enable proton compatibility (on all games or on RL specifically), download and launch the game. Even more chance that it works on the first try with Arch linux-based distro, since the kernel version is closer to the ones running on the Steam Deck.
If you got the game from the Epic Games store, you download and install Heroic games launcher and proton. In the game settings, you specify the install path of proton and it should be good to go
I don't see it available in Steam though, only Epic through Heroic launcher. I haven't been able to get it to work though, just get a black screen.
Have you got your filters set to only Linux native games or something? Little penguin icon in the steam search bar
You can through Proton still. It still is a Platinum game even though Epic fucked it up
So far I've only gotten a black screen when I try to launch it, so I have a bug to work out..
I made my move just recently. It was rocky, I ran into some issues and some of them were my fault.
I'm willing to put up with it currently not because Linux has gotten markedly better, but Windows has decided (yes, decided) to become significantly worse. Microsoft could have done nothing and I would have stayed a loyal, koolaid-drinking consumer of theirs.
I'm just starting out with Bazzite right now. Still awkward, but pretty painless, and all the gaming stuff like proton is already configured and baked in. I still need to figure out how to get stuff done though.
