There are three things holding me back from making the switch full time, I use a stream deck from Elgato for automating a lot of tasks, I stream VR titles from Steam, and I have an Nvidia graphics card.
I switched to Pop_OS and it’s honestly been great even with an Nvidia card. Haven’t found a game that it won’t run, only thing I’m missing is lack of gsync/HDR support
This looks really fascinating. Looks like this may have some more features that I need for my Stream Deck compared to other ones for it on Linux. Might have to hope on a Live USB and check it out. Thanks for sharing!!
I did take a look at that once before and it didn’t quite have all the features that I use daily on my Stream Deck, but thanks for linking to it! Maybe I should take a look again since it’s been a year or so.
You can use VFIO to pass your GPU through to a Windows VM in order to play VR titles. I did this and it worked fine. I block all network access from Windows and then whitelist networks required for gaming.

Thank you for giving me 3 huge reasons not to switch, cause I’ve been a bit tempted lately.

I can’t give up my Stream Deck plugins. I don’t trust that that Linux port thing supports all the plugins I use.
Have you tried Boatswain for your Stream Deck?

Maybe this can help you out?

I’m going to look into this myself. Been using Ubuntu for a about 6 months but also want to mess around more with VMs
