Hi all,

I've been wanting to get back into PC gaming for a while and I am considering switching to Linux when I do so. I'm fairly technical and excited about the switch, but I have a few questions and would love to hear about your experiences:

  1. Can Bazzite be used as a daily driver for gaming, web browsing, torrenting, VPN (Proton VPN), etc? Are there any limitations since it's an immutable OS? Or would it be better to install Fedora and tailor it to my gaming needs?
  2. I am currently speccing a new PC and I have decided on the majority of the components but I would just like to know how stable is the 7900XT / XTX in Linux for 4k gaming?
  3. If I were to choose a cheaper GPU, would gaming at a lower resolution on a 4k monitor look and perform well on Linux? (This is the monitor I recently purchased: MSI MAG 323UPF)

Thanks in advance for your insights!
