The Linux Scheduler: A Decade of Wasted Cores (2016) [pdf]
Interesting! I've used Linux Mint for the last 5+ years (and am using the Xanmod kernel, which is on 6.6), but have always been Pop OS curious. This increases my curiosity, I may have to give it a go on my laptop.

Been thinking of switching to linux but I am a noob
Generally, Arch is the better platform for getting various kernel versions, but there's always stuff like Xanmod which is easy to do in any distro. Worst case, could always use linux-tkg script to build your own kernel - with that kind of hardware it shouldn't take long for the kernel to be built.

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.

Should I switch from Linux mint?
you can install a custom kernel (xanmod) (liquorix) on linux mint which is what i have on my laptop and it runs fine.

I created a build script to compile the latest WSL2 kernel available from MSFT's GitHub Page
Yeah. When I want to get the latest mainline kernel I sometimes make a new build using LLVM+Clang and for lulz, I build the source from the XanMod repo with a config that's a mix of Microsoft's & XanMod's (+ whatever else I want to enable, like F2FS support). It works.
