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).
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.
