I did. It works most of the time on Ubuntu if I disable smooth scrolling on Firefox.

I recently, had issues with the default drivers in Ubuntu. But the instant I installed AMDās proprietary drivers all my issues went away. My games were saying I didnāt have a proper driver and the desktop would crash and dump me into CLI every now and then. I would have to restart x.
But as soon as I installed the latest AMD driver for ubuntu, it all went away. Probably something I should report to the devs, but I donāt know how to do it.
No screen tearing in linux either biiiiiiiish
Thereās nothing wrong with Ubuntu. It works for me 99.99 percent of the time unless i mess with something thinking iām smart enough yet.
A lot of the ubuntu user base can be summed up in one picture methinks.
Either something works great forever, or is amazing for 10 minutes and then explodes.

Update from me.
I installed Pop OS, and set up Steam with Proton etc. I have installed a few games from my Library and a few worked straight out of the box, a a few work but are a bit glitchy and one or two just did not work at all but the ones that did not work at all I am putting down to the spec of the machine more than anything tbh.
However, as I have a 7950, after doing a bit of research it appears I had to blacklist my radeon driver as its technically a re-hash of a R9 280/290X, it also helps if you install the most recent versions of Mesa and LLVM. Once I did that I was able to actually run one of the games that wouldnāt run previously, quite choppy but it ran. Again I put this down to possibly the spec of my machine.
Hereās a link to the Proton requirements page with some info should anyone need it https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Requirements
All in all very pleased

Have you tried any GPU pass-through in Deepin? Iām downloading it now, to check it out in a VM. Always nice to test other distros.
I have not itās Debian based so should be very simple
Itās aimed at the user switching from windos or Mac for the GUI user exp aimed at stability
But you can do anything on any distro depending how hard you try

Well, if itās based upon Debian, then it would probably be rather easy, if it was needed.
I use a tweaked POP!_OS. Which I kind of like, but when I read about it, it was like, bla bla bla, this is ready with that and that and this, and itās the best system for gaming etc etc etc. LYING PIECES OF S***.
Oh well, I have been thinking of switching to Manjaro, because I am not really that afraid of challanges, but I have never used pacman, and itās been 15+ years since I used Slackware, which probably is more difficult to use than Arch will ever be. (Since you compile everything and have to download most of the things manually, now doesnāt that kind of sound like Windows? Memorizing half the internet in order to get your computer up and ready.)
I remember the weeks it took me to tweak the system to my liking, and when I fudged something up, and had to re-install it and do everything over again. Itās much easier now. People should not complain at all over the small tweaks that they have to do in Linux. They are for the most part easier than Microsoft Virus systems.
