Some things to consider:
Do you have the game-devices-udev package installed? Its udev rules might be needed for some software to detect your controller and its features.
Have you tested for different behavior when connecting your DualShock 4 via Bluetooth vs. USB?

I won’t watch the video, but as someone who has been running Windows games on Linux since well before Steam for Linux existed, my view is that comparing performance on different distros is pointless these days.
Game performance depends very little on which Linux distro you use, because sufficiently recent versions of the performance-sensitive components are available on all of them, and because gaming runtime environments like Steam and Flatpak provide their own versions of several of these components anyway. (Also, desktop environments have generally become good about turning off expensive compositing operations while games are running.)
Pick whatever distro is comfortable for you to use and maintain. That might be bleeding edge Arch, or low maintenance Debian, or user friendly Mint, or whatever. They can all play games very well once they’re set up for it, and the setup is almost never difficult if you’re willing to learn how.
As for comparing Windows to Linux for running Windows games, I would expect performance to be close enough that the difference doesn’t matter in most cases. Game-focused Wine builds and API shims like DXVK are already very capable, and continually improving. Windows might have advantages from being a game’s native platform, but Linux has advantages from resource efficiency.
So, a review “showing almost no difference in performance between gaming distros and Windows 11 LTSC” doesn’t surprise me at all.
My opinion: the gaming performance differences these days are mostly minor, and less important than having my computer serve me (not some invasive corporation).
I look forward to the small new game studios that will surely appear as the big old ones are consolidated and/or dismantled.
It’s disappointing to see things we like fade away, but as the sun sets in one place, it rises in another.

This is basically alien to me. I think it has to be game specific.
Sufficient in this context means an amount that depends on the game.
sufficient performance > sufficient beauty > power usage > max beauty > max performance
I set a frame rate limit in most 3D games, to avoid inflating my electricity bill for barely noticeable effects or FPS improvements. Plugging my system into a Kill A Watt was enlightening.
Another Lutris advantage: it doesn’t come with all that Electron bloat.
Free demo. I think I’ll give it a try. :)
Interesting. Wikipedia says formic acid can kill the queen, and lists other treatments, some of which are apparently more effective.
I’m glad they mentioned Minigalaxy, a GOG game launcher that looks simpler than Lutris and lighter than Heroic.
A portion of those signatures will turn out to be invalid, so we have to keep going past 1 million if this thing is going to fly. Aiming for 1.4 million might be wise.

Almost, but not quite. A portion of those signatures will turn out to be invalid, so we have to keep going past 1 million if this thing is going to fly. Aiming for 1.4 million might be wise.
It’s relieving to see that they calmed down in the end, but I don’t think that makes up for being a dick when feeling frustrated.
I wish the gaming community would teach people to take pride in good sportsmanship. It’s arguably harder than mechanical or strategic skill, and it’s usually more valuable.
Even if you were convicted of it that doesn’t seem like a suitable punishment.
Agreed; It is not a suitable punishment.
Internet access is now practically required by a great deal of services that we depend on in order to live. Taking it away because of copyright infringement would be like banning someone from grocery stores for throwing a poppy seed at some corporation’s skyscraper.
I have a more complex setup than I described, making that approach a poor fit, but thanks for thinking of me. Glad you found a solution. :)

Let’s also remember that average GPU price tripled from 2019 to 2021, and still hasn’t returned, even adjusting for inflation.
