Thinkpad e14 w/ ryzen 5500u
Not the perfect solution, my main PC is in storage currently. The thinkpad does everything I need it to. I can play age of empires 2 and 4, company of heroes 2, doom wads and WoW private servers. In fact, its managed to have good performance in every game ive tried save for Elden Ring and some AAA games.
I have a GL533VD laptop with an i7 and GTX 1050
Runs Linux Mint 21.1 and usually using Steam's Proton for games, but have used HeroicGames for my epic library.
Usually I play Rocket League with forced compatibility in steam with the only issue being in-game voice chat

Corsair 750W PSU (I forget the model, and yes I know it's a little low-powered for my GPU. It's a holdover from when I had a 5700 XT and 3600X)
Fractal Meshify 2 Compact case.
Dual-booting Windows 11 and (as of today) Manjaro. I had been running good ole' Linux Mint for awhile but got bored and tried something else.
Mine's not as insane as yours, but I'm content with it.

Louqe Raw S1
Plays everything I need, and I'm dual-booting Garuda and 10.
Out of curiosity, why pick Cachy? Nothing against it, I've just not encountered it until this moment.
Very nice! I haved used garuda before and liked it a lot. I switched from garuda to cachy when I got the 7900xtx as I couldn't update llvm and mesa to experimental versions without breaking a bunch of dependencies to get the gpu working. Cachy already had those optimizations built in and ended up having a lot of optimizations I liked (BORE scheduler, etc) so I have stayed on it since.
Its a newer distro, but has good support and very friendly devs.
Does the change in scheduler help out in CPU-bound games?
