How can I improve my gaming performance on Fedora Kinoite with an Nvidia card?

-

I’m having some major performance issues while gaming on Fedora Kinoite, especially compared to my Windows setup. I suspect the problem may be linked to my Nvidia graphics card since the same games run significantly better on my laptop, which lacks a dedicated graphics card but also runs Kinoite. I followed the RPM Fusion guide to install the Nvidia drivers, but I’m not sure what to do next. As a complete newbie to Linux, how can I troubleshoot and identify the source of my performance problems?

You might want to try installing Bazzite Linux. Just a heads up, there’s a known bug with Nvidia drivers that causes lower performance right now, but the Bazzite version could help you manage that better.

Is it just a temporary bug, or do we know what’s causing it?
