i’ve been interested in switching to linux for gaming but i’m not sure how the games i play run; i like to play Apex legends and Overwatch 2 competitively. can linux run these games with low latency and high frame rate? i’m looking into the Nobara project and pikaOS distros

Performance should be comparable to Windows, maybe slightly worse. Usually online games with anticheat don't work on Linux, but OW and Apex do work.

Nobara is pretty good, I've heard nothing but good things.

i’ve seen and heard nothing but good things about it as well. just so many distros to choose from

choice can be overwhelming for sure, but you can change a lot of the defaults so don't stress over it too much :)
