I'm building a new controller "10ft" gaming PC for my living room. The CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600X and the motherboard is Asus ROG Strix X570-I. I have never done a Linux-based gaming PC before and I want everything to "just work" as best as possible.

I assume this means go with Bazzite and an AMD gpu? Anything else I need to be aware of? As I said the goal after configuring is for it to be entirely controller-controlled (8bitdo ultimate and DS4).

    Thanks! How is AMD with ray tracing? I play a lot of survival horror and want to experience that spooky lighting

      AMD with ray tracing isn't great. Not as bad as it used to be, but pretty lackluster overall compared to Nvidia (and to a lesser extent Intel's GPU offerings). Linux ray tracing via Proton is also not as optimized at present, so that can take something "passable" in windows and make it unplayable on an AMD card in Linux. If you get something overkill for the resolution you're playing at that can somewhat make up the difference.

      Like shit. If you have the money for an RTX, go get one, even if that means gaming on Windows.

        Really? You can get an RTX 3060 card for under $300 USD. Someone else in the thread recommended the RX6700xt which is double the price. You're saying the AMD has worse performance (not in Linux)?

          lol you are not gaming with Ray tracing on a 3060 unless its 240p @ 30fps with DLSS on.
