I have both the 8bitdo SNES Pro+ and the Pro 2, love both, and I know at least for the SNES Pro+ there's a clip kinda thing that attaches to the controller so it can hold a phone.

They're going closed source and windows only when there's already an official client from Apple coming to Windows? That's strange, and unfortunate.
I've been running Kinoite for almost two months now and I'm sticking with it. I have it set up to update automatically on the background and I like how the changes aren't reflected until next boot, which essentially makes it more stable and reliable.
Whoa, thanks for sharing this. It looks great!
For the best Nvidia Optimus experience IMO go with an arch based distro, something like Endeavor OS, and install and configure Optimus Manager. It has a Hybrid Mode which makes it work much like it does on Windows, were you just launch a game and it uses the dedicated GPU. I like it better that way vs having to be switching modes manually.
Here's a guide for it: https://discovery.endeavouros.com/nvidia/optimus-manager-for-nvidia/2021/03/
At least on Windows 11, there's an option called like "Optimizations for Fullscreen games" where you can have screen tearing on borderless windowed games that are not DX12. Performance wise, OP would want to turn on this option if they have it available.
One option is what I currently use, a docker image of Qbittorrent with support for OpenVPN: https://hub.docker.com/r/markusmcnugen/qbittorrentvpn
If you can get OpenVPN config files from CyberGhost then it should be straightforward to set up.
Regarding your bluetooth issues on your 8bitdo, I had an issue with my 8bitdo pro 2 where on linux there was a higher input delay vs Windows. I then updated the controller firmware and that fixed it. Works great on linux now.
Maybe try updating the controller's firmware, if you haven't yet anyway.
Regarding dual booting, I do dual boot, sometimes I like using windows, others i like using linux. It's nice to have the flexibility. Ideally i would like to switch to linux one day, but there are still a few small issues, at least on KDE wayland.
My two main reasons that I prefer KDE of GNOME are:
- I grew up with Windows so I'm used to its layout and with KDE I can achieve something very similar rather easily.
- VRR on Wayland is built into KDE, and works as expected.
I mainly use my PC for gaming and for me VRR is a must, so it's nice that it's built into KDE Wayland already.
A few years ago I got 5 of my millennial friends to move from FB Messenger to Telegram and it took some peer pressure from me and essentially one hangout where we were all together, and moved in one go. Telegram is not perfect but overall it's much better than being on FB messenger.
I use Kinoite currently and at first I had some trouble finding out how to do certain things in rpm-ostree, when a lot of guides just mention how to do things with DNF. For example I wanted the mesa freeworld drivers, and a few other packages to get codecs working, and had some troubles but managed to figure it out.
With that, my system is essentially set up how I like it, I also have automatic updates for rpm-ostree, and since it only reflects on the next reboot it doesn't affect the current session. That's neat.
I also removed the rpm-ostree backend from Plasma Discover because it was showing as if there was an update but then Discover wouldn't display what the update was. Now I only have Discover for Flatpak apps, works great.
For gaming, Steam as a flatpak I think is the way to go on Kinoite. You avoid some issues you have have when updating the system. It happened to me once at least and so I switched to flatpak version. It works great honestly. And then Lutris from Flathub also seems to work fine, in my case at least.
Nvidia drivers shouldn't be an issue, you have to do some commands on the Terminal, but they're available in the RPM Fusion wiki if I recall correctly.
What I like the most is having the peace of mind of being able to boot to a previous working state if an update causes an issue, and it works out of the box. I could accomplish the same with OpenSUSE but I like Fedora more.
On that note, TIL Asus allows unlocking the bootloader, nice!
