Tags no longer register and i've finally had it with galaxy 2.0. Any recommended alternatives?
Heroic Games Launcher: Support is limited to Epic, GOG and Amazon but the advantage is that it can manage their games itself without the need of their own launchers. Doesn't have support for tags currently.

Making the switch - what are the gaps?
For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

ProtonDB is a community list of Steam games rating their playability. Heroic launcher runs GOG and Epic games. Lutris and Bottles can be used to run everything else.

Bottles – Easily run Windows software on Linux
The ArchWiki has some tips that can help tuning your system to squeeze more performance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/gaming
This launcher does help too: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode
On top of that, you can use a patched kernel like: https://xanmod.org/
You can check support status for games here: https://www.protondb.com/
If you run games via Proton with DXVK, you can use the environment variable DXVK_HUD=1 to show a HUD with an FPS meter. Some others prefer mangohud.
Setting your CPU frequency scaling governor and GPU to performance mode also helps.

Elite Dangerous on Pop OS (Linux)
I use default Proton (8.0-2 as of writing) with Ferral GameMode and the min-ed-launcher. Works just fine for me, sometimes less tweaking gets more results. Maybe try undoing some of your tweaks, because it was pretty plug-and-play for me.

Time to boot
Yeah, bc the more zram your use the more your cpu will be compressing/uncompressing ram. If you’re playing a game you could try using https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode to give the game process higher priority than the rest of the system

Additionally, you can also make use of something called gamemode to further optimize how resources are used on your system when a particular app (in this instance a game, runs. It can also automate disabling and re-enabling your desktop compositor.

Not able to decide between Pop os and Cachyos
FSR in games that have it built-in will work, as it doesn't rely on any external software. It's, basically, a fancy shared. To use in games that don't have it, you can use Gamescope. If you want to play around with frequencies and whatnot you can use CoreCtrl. As for "Anti-lag"... I don't know what exactly it does and whether what it does can even be applied to Linux. But it does sound kind of similar to Gamemode, so, take a look.
