But I’ve spent most of the time tweaking and setting up and downloading stuff rather than actually playing. Games seem to work really well. Not doing benchmarking but I really like how stable the framerate is when frame cap is in place. So far everything I’ve tried was absolutely buttery smooth.

Your argument is sound.
Yours isn’t.
If you had some issue with repos not working, that’s on you. Nothing about the defaults on Ubuntu stop you from installing anything as you describe.
My whole argument against using an outdated distro is that you need to add a PPA for so many things, and then each major upgrade disables them without any insightful way for a new user to change the release name and re-enable them.
There is a reason Valve moved away from Ubuntu and to a rolling release distro. I’m not sure what you’re not able to grok here.
Valve used Arch as base because of the advanced package and kernel management, something users just wanting to game wouldn’t want and don’t know how to effectively use, hence, my original comment you started this argument about.
No idea why you keep saying “outdated”, because that makes no sense. If you mean not running bleeding edge kernels or package versions, that is every distro out there, and I think you Gail to understand how release management and version pinning works.
Bonk bad troll … I’m not feeding you anymore with your bad faith arguments. Good day.
