Not OP. Around same timeline. Went with bazzite for gaming. Have been using bazzite daily since. Stuff just works super easy to install. Also tried and have mint still installed on another partition but haven't used it much besides the initial installation. And installed dual boot bazzite and mint on my old gaming laptop. Use mint on there daily for internet browsing and such, no gaming. But I'm certain it would work just fine as it's all pretty much the same besides Debian (mint) Vs Fedora (bazzite).

I don't play AAA slop either, and a few older easy anti cheat games don't work. Such as Fawkes revival of Defiance.

Everything else works pre installed with Steam+ proton, Or Ludis + wine, Or the Heroic launcher for GoG, Amazon and EGS.

I do get higher FPS and better temps and less hardware usage than I ever did on Win11 for the same exact games.
