Gaming Experience on Immutable Distros (self.linux_gaming)

Does anyone here have experience with gaming on immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue, Fedora Kinote, OpenSUSE MicroOS or any other general desktop variants? I know SteamOS 3 and ChimeraOS are both immutable, but they come with all kernel mods and libraries baked in.

Are there any issues with drivers or performance that otherwise do not happen on a more mainline distribution?

Do you have to deal with getting Nvidia drivers installed or is that handled by the system?

I'm asking because I'm considering making the jump to either Silverblue or Kinote, but I am curious to hear your thoughts.

One issue I've run into with immutable Linux distros is getting the xone drivers for the Xbox wireless dongle to work. Not having that is a no go for me and gaming.
