if Fortnite is a crucial element for you, and it sounds like it is, you’re going to have to dual boot.
Games like Fortnite, League of Legends, Valorant, Apex Legends, recent Battlefields, etc aren’t going to work on Linux due to the fact Epic, Riot and EA decided kernel level anti-cheats were their “best” options.
That being said the majority of games work on Linux and especially via Steam.
As far as Distros go Bazzite is primarily focused on gaming. If you want something that will do both gaming and work stuff then I’d suggest CachyOS. It’s fast, very fast, great for both work and gaming. It will give you plenty of options for Desktop Environments on install and I would suggest you install it with KDE Plasma so you have a bit of familiarity coming from Windows.
I recently tried Gentoo, I liked it, dare I say I loved it. The problem is, I don’t have time for it. I would love to use it as a daily driver on my main rig but due to my work it would never fly.
I am however thinking of putting it on my server where I just don’t need to spend time with it. I can compile and and just let it be while I do something else.
Honestly these are great but I’d just be happy if they fixed the widget discovery stuff for the panel/desktop.


I imagine this is in response to the fact that developers discovered that when users added their games to the wishlist steam didn’t notify followers when said games released.
yeah try turning off the hardware accelration on the browser…which browser btw?
if the hardware accelration doesn’t work check the Lutris forums and/or discord to see if anyone has come across the issue. Have you tried running ESO via steam at all? potentially could also check it via protondb.com if you try to run it via steam.
Generally though there should be scripts with Lutris to install it correctly. But i’d still check with the Lutris forum/discord (they’re really nice and helpful dudes) if the browser thing doesn’t work.
