You may also want to run non-steam games. I’m still new to linux and haven’t tried that yet but I think I will need to for my GoG library.

A Bethesda game not optimized?? Unheard of. I expect a completely bug free experience with no jank whatsoever.

Might be driver issues. Current nvidia drivers are apparently pretty fucked. On Bazzite myself, Lies of P started having all kinds of issues after updating the distro. I had to rollback to a version from the beginning of the year and it seems to have fixed it. The hangs I get were pretty random so I need to play more to be sure. Might be worth trying as a last resort.

Gnome with nvidia cards. Plasma worked ok on my newer pc but would not boot on my older one. Adaptive sync didnt seem to work either way, many games would not boot until I turned it off in system settings.

HDR is cool. It was wonky on windows sometimes but wow I got so used to it, some games look so damn dark without it so I crank the gamma and wash them out.

Now if only I could get adaptive sync working. It always seems to crash my games…
