I've been working on converting my gaming PC to Linux for a few weeks, but everything is running, but it all is just a little jankier than I would like.

I have an 8th gen Intel i7 and an Rtx 2070, running Arch linux.

Sometimes I boot up and my mouse doesn't work and I have to restart. Sometimes I launch games and they just don't launch right.

It feels like I'm doing a lot of work for no benefit. In fact, Elden ring runs way worse on my Linux partition than my Windows partition.

I've tried GE proton, gamemode, steam compatibility, everything... I'm sorry but I'm going to have to stick with Windows for gaming.

Just out of curiosity, is the mouse bluetooth?

I heard there are some intermittent problems with them on linux because of proprietary blobs and similar driver issues, but I've never had one, so I've no direct experience.

It's a wireless Logitech with a little USB dongle. It works from the bios so I wasn't sure what was up with that.

Yeah I have the same problem, usually you have to turn it on before turning on the pc or just replug the USB dongle
