Ableton seems to run under Proton (a compatability layer intended for games) with reasonable-but-slightly-higher-latency of 16-20ms per user reports.
This should generally work for games of various origins as well.
Extra mouse buttons should generally map correctly. For me, my Logitech MX Master 3 works under Arch. You may need to add udev rules if your mouse generally works but additional buttons don't seem bindable.
Try an Arch linux based distro, Omarchy or Manjaro. Most of these tweaky things will generally work better since you will be on the latest versions of software.
If Linux was so good shit would run faster not slower.
Objectively if you want to run desktop performance intensive software, Linux is not the primary place unless it’s AI/HPC or crypto related. Linux is a bad choice for gaming and people like you who try to pretend like it’s not are wrong and they should feel bad for spreading lies on the internet.
I switched my gaming pc to Linux both for reliability and because of about 7-9% improvement in raw frame rates.
This depends on the game too obviously.
Though having a computer that actually.. just works can't be overstated.
The numbers seem to be in favor of Linux though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44381144
