I'd started dualbooting with NobaraOS about a year ago, and recently deleted windows entirely. I haven't run into a game I want to play yet that isn't compatible.

How is performance compared to windows? After using the Steam Deck for a while I'm interested in making the switch.

I also have concerns how well WakeOnLan works together with remote desktop. I'm currently booting my gaming pc with the click of a button on my phone and then I sit at my laptop with Parsec. If there are good solutions and performance isn't worse I'm probably taking the leap soon. Nvidia GPU btw.

Performance is usually the same, sometimes even better, and sometimes worse, if any particular game isn't officially supported/optimised by proton developers (but usually not officially supported games work anyway, except for those with anticheat).

Wake on Lan works with TeamViewer/anydesk but only on xorg so far, but you have Nvidia so you are anyway stuck with xorg
