  1. linux

    Discontinued Git repository moved to https://gitlab.com/xanmod/linux (by xanmod)

    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.

  4. teams-for-linux

    Unofficial Microsoft Teams for Linux client

    I use https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux . It's "just" a wrapper around the PWA but a very decent one at that.
