I moved about 4 months ago to Bazzite on my nvidia RTX 3080 desktop.

What worked fine:

- All steam games I tried (mostly indie but I did play Cyberpunk 2077 beginning to end and Satisfactory) all with 0 issues

- Overwatch over battle.net

- Accessing SMB partitions is easier than windows (although it is a bit weird how KDE handles it)

What caused problems:

- Linux doesn't support HDMI stream compression so you can't do 1440p @ 165hz with HRD on over HDMI 1.4, so I turned down to 120hz (my monitor doesn't have HDMI 2)

- battlenet is a bit annoying to set up (needed to mess with proton version) and sometimes craps out when I launch it. One time after an update it completely broke and I had to reinstall. Never had I to do any CLI stuff to fix this

- I ran into a problem that caused toast notifications on both steam and battlenet to memory leak and take several gb of ram and high CPU. Disabling toast notifications fixed the issue, I believe this has been fixed upstream in Bazzite/KDE.

- I couldn't get HDR working on Overwatch, apparently you need some proton CLI args to enable it and I just didn't want to bother.

- Once after a big update Overwatch completely crapped out and I had to reinstall the game. I could actually launch the game but it felt like textures were missing or shaders weren't compiled, it was very weird.

Overall I am very happy with no plans on going back to windows. Apparently the main report of problems are people using laptops with mobile nVidia GPUs, and older nVidia GPUs (1000 series I think).
