If you want something similar to SteamOS I recommend checking out Bazzite.
NVK is slow at the moment, yes. DX12 just started working as well and is not in mainline yet. This is with a particular PR merged.
Lina replaied to me on Mastodon and said it's not usable yet, so I'm gonna have to wait to properly test gaming on an M1.
I think if you've connected to the net while installing you're done for. XD
On the left it's Linux and on the right it's Windows.
If you have an Nvidia GPU don't switch to Linux, especialy if it's a pre-Turing model. If you have a Turing+ GPU though wait for a year until NVK is actually usable, then look into it imo.
The video is just being transcoded, if you check in some hours it should be fine and you can always download it.
The 545 Beta drivers apparently support a ton of new features on Linux like VRR. Frame Gen is the only thing not supported by Proton yet I think.
Tbh though, if you're on Nvidia I would stay on Windows. It's definitey doable to use Linux and get equal performance. Until Nvidia is ready for Wayland though I wouldn't switch.
Good news is NVK is a new Open Source Nvidia Vulkan driver so in like a year or two things should be as good as on AMD. The driver already loads most games with DXVK 1.5.1 but runs them at like 1 FPS if they have anything like Valheim Graphics and above. Reclocking should be coming soon though so the situation will improve. After that it's just working to get all features in and optimize.
Sliding Tiling Window Management akin to PaperWM for Gnome.
Oh, no worries. I've seen more insane things happen. Like Facebook and Google being created.

Just use Lutris or Heroic for that.
