Distro with best ram management on 8gb of memory?
To enable Ubuntu to mimic Windows and macOS swap files consider installing the package swapspace, the dynamic swap space manager. It's in the Ubuntu repository.

Linux is killing a processes before it finishes, but not Windows.
Windows will increase the size of the swapfile as needed. Linux by default does not do so. If you need that capability have a look at swapspace.

If I ran out of memory, how come my disk usage goes to 100% and nothing happens?
there is a program called SwapSpace that should handle dynamically adding swap files as needed. it's like 2 years old so no telling if it still works.

Unreal Engine 5 Slow Boot
Install Swapspace (https://github.com/Tookmund/Swapspace), it is a dynamic swap manager for Linux. Essentially, UE5 needs a lot of RAM, sometimes it will try to get more than you can offer. Swapspace will create, manage, and delete swap files to deal with unseen RAM requirements. (You will feel small freezes for a couple of milliseconds when it creates a new swap file, but other than that it will go on in a breeze.) Just run sudo apt install swapspace and you are off.

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.

WoW Season of Discovery freezes on every honorable kill!
Can I suggest you head over to the lutris.net site and follow the link the lutris discord - with what you are describing, it would take me 20 minutes to get the base battle.net working so you can see what is causing your issue or 3 days back and forwards here. As a hint, your wine version has known issues, and unless you manually installed the lutris 0.5.14 from the git page in Mint, or are running flatpak, you have other issues related to that

Lutris how to make Nvidia primary Gpu
Hmmm I remember there was some confusion in Lutris around this, like https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/4237 , and I had to do some workaround. But I can't check what exactly right now...

Windows 11 is last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros
As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam:
* https://lutris.net
* https://github.com/lutris/lutris
It's an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don't even need an account on their system (lutris.net).

I recommend using the repos, but WINE HQ if you need it ( https://www.winehq.org/ ) * Lutris is a front-end to WINE which makes installing and running non-Steam games easy. It can be found in the repos ( https://lutris.net/ ) * How-To videos for setting up various distros for gaming ( https://www.youtube.com/@IntelligentGaming2020/videos ).

Search his channel for your distro to find the specific how-to videos. * r/linux4noobs (a newbie focused Linux subreddit) * most if not all of the distros will have their own subreddits (ex: r/pop_OS, r/linuxmint, r/fedora, r/manjaro, r/EndeavourOS)
