    I’ve got the same CPU and I can get a pretty decent boost from pinning games to the first CCD (taskset -c 0-7,16-23 %command% in Steam launch options) to increase clocks (first CCD is higher binned) and ensure cache locality (L3 caches are separated and cross access is higher latency). Otherwise the usual applies, it’s not the greatest CPU for gaming and you certainly won’t be pushing hundreds of FPS with it in modern games.

    It makes a lot of sense that it sadly is that way. Most of the linux gaming work does go into the compatibility layers and then the drivers and software stack is overwhelmingly tested on those compatibility layers due to the lack of demanding native games.

    Another issue is that a lot of linux ports are from the original Steam Machine wave that haven’t been updated since. On Steam Deck it’ll automatically use the Proton version in these cases but I don’t think it applies to desktop.

    Small tip: press the (i) on the right, next to game settings, and it’ll show what runtime is being used for this game at the bottom.

    Noise cancelling headphones, not just for avoiding other people’s noise in general but also to make noisier tasks easier. Vacuum, blender, cooking in general with all the loud pots and pans, fans, drill, epilator, electric toothbrush. I either avoided them or tried to get them over with as quickly as possible and did a haphazard job, they’ve helped me in about every aspect of my life.
