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.

Is Linux Mint good for gaming?
For those on Linux mint you can install the xanmod kernel for improved performance, specifically tailored for gaming on Debian based distros.

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.
-
Have any Linux users trialed other distros or do you only stick to Fedora/Arch?
Still a bit of a noob. I haven't heard of that one. Do you mean this: https://xanmod.org/? Is there any stability or compatibility issues that come with it?

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.

Help installing driver of RTL8188GU USB wifi adapter
There are different drivers available but the best way is to install linux kernel 6.3 which has built in support for rtl wifi. I also have similar adapter and had the problem. I recommend xanmod kernel because it is newer and has the needed driver and it is focussed on desktop performance.

Custom Kernel Code Reviews? (Liquorix, Xanmod, Zen, etc. and supply chain attacks)
What do you mean fingers in the pie? And for liquorix the four people are only the ones involved in the packaging, you'll notice that they just include one huge monolithic patch here https://github.com/damentz/liquorix-package/tree/6.1/master/linux-liquorix/debian/patches/zen and to see what is inside that and whose fingers are in there you need to look into https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel and you have exactly the same situation as with xanmod with your 13k contributors.
- If your system is installed on dm-crypt and becomes unresponsive when writing/reading a lot of data (like installing Steam games) try disabling dm-crypt workqueues.

Lenovo IdeaPad - regression introduced in kernel 5.19.10 still exists despite fix being included in 6.1
It seems like the zen kernel "doesn't use" the same version as the upstream kernel (default). I think for now it is still on 6.0.12: https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel

The flashing screen bug seems to be fixed with the 5.19.13 kernel
Officially supported kernels Community support on forum and bug reporting is available for officially supported kernels. Stable — Vanilla Linux kernel and modules, with a few patches applied. https://www.kernel.org/ || linux Hardened — A security-focused Linux kernel applying a set of hardening patches to mitigate kernel and userspace exploits. It also enables more upstream kernel hardening features than linux. https://github.com/anthraxx/linux-hardened || linux-hardened Longterm — Long-term support (LTS) Linux kernel and modules. https://www.kernel.org/ || linux-lts Zen Kernel — Result of a collaborative effort of kernel hackers to provide the best Linux kernel possible for everyday systems. Some more details can be found on https://liquorix.net (which provides kernel binaries based on Zen for Debian). https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel || linux-zen

How can I get ZEN kernel on Void?
linux5.18-zen $: cd patches patches $: wget https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel/releases/download/v5.18.11-zen1/v5.18.11-zen1.patch.xz patches $: xz -d v5.18.11-zen1.patch.xz

Is there any database for optimal game settings like the geforce experience?
@OP So yeah on Linux we don't have NVE which i'm kinda glad about for various reasons. But we have gamemode (sorry for the ArchWiki entry on it) and custom kernels like Zen. If you opt to install the Zen Kernel ALWAYS keep a regular Kernel as backup, just in case.
