The Windows experience was worse, but at least your raindrops were rendered correctly.

It feels like you used a detail that you could not resolve to go back to the cozy arms of what you are familiar with.

And that's OK. I also went back to Windows a few times until I felt at home in Linux.

Try it again sometime in the future and see if it fells more comfortable.

Linux isn't for everyone, but jumping in on fedora might not have been the best choice. Give Pop! OS a shot. It's a more balanced experience.

Windows also doesn’t work out of the box like you demonstrated in your post, people are just familiar with how to get it working. Like, Linux isn’t more complicated than Windows, it’s just both complicated and unfamiliar to a lot of people.

Dunno bro everything works for me on mint. I also have higher frame rates and better stability. Getting Stable Diffusion working on my AMD card is probably the hardest thing i have had to do. Even that is three lines in the terminal now. You may need to dick around with proton settings and read the forums to find what Cyberpunk runs on best if you want to deal with the bug.

There's also Ameliorated which helps debloat hour Windows and 9/10 times get a better experience using it. There's different playbooks which help optimise to the experience you like (eg. gaming). Could give it a try :)

You can always dual boot, Linux for working is amazing. And your can also install a VM but I haven't tried it for gaming

software for my AIO and headphones

wtf kind of headphones require extra software?

Everything worked the first time except… Steam! Unable to launch it, black window which restarted in a loop.

What package exactly did you install and from which source?

the keyboard preset is in Qwerty even though I have an azerty keyboard

If you set the layout correctly during installation of the system / in your system settings then that's not really Linux fault.

I was able to notice a bug in a rather disturbing shadow/light and in the drops of water on a windshield which appeared and disappeared in a strange way.

Very well explained.

So here I am, I hate Windows, but it runs my games better than Linux and I’m really lost. I’ve just discovered Nobara, I would have loved to try it but I’m tired of starting the first 3 hours of cyberpunk again and I’m convinced that I’ll have some graphical bugs with it.

Why restart? Back up your home folder to a different drive, install the OS and copypasta the home folder back into the new system. This is literally easier than under Windows because everything non system related is in the home folder. Games, save & config files, everything.

You already answered your own question/experience -- do some "duckduckgoing" (even if it means falling back to the basics once again, "How to run a windows game on linux") and then come back here. Because yes, GNU/Linux is 100% viable for gaming and can even run games better than on Winblows -- if you know how to setup things properly.

A word of advice however, Linux tend to be a bit "sensitive" regarding some system elements/packages -- you've got to provide all possible info to everything -- theres no "ready out of the box" in these lands.

I ran arch for years then Manjaro. I had zero issues running doom eternal except if I switched workspaces then back. I'd have to kill -9 the app and relaunch. Was enough to make me dual boot to beat that game. I've been running Manjaro since, because I don't have the time like I used to to fuck around with settings. I still prefer Linux overall as my daily drive though. It's not a slow, buggy, ad ridden pile of shit. Imo windows is so buggy and slow since like 8 or 10

I do doubt Windows didn't work out of the box, as with the thousands of installations I've done, I have had ZERO issues since Win7. Very few to none in Vista. The issues were prevalent in XP and before but that was the before times when the similar Linux issues were 10000x worse.

The only gripe I have is moving people to online accounts. Just run the oobe command from the installer to limit network requirements and voila, local accounts created.

All that extra bloat can be removed but who cares. The stuff that sits there barely affects anything, like you saw the frame rate is the same.

If Windows works for you, as it does for 90% of consumers, then use it. If you want to tinker forever with Linux, then do so. Some find that fun. I've moved into the "my OS is an appliance" phase of life.

If you need any help in french even through vocal, PM me

Maybe try another distro:
