I'd guess your graphics drivers are the issue in that case. Sounds like it was probably kicking all the games over to the integrated GPU.
Certainly possible, I really wasn't sure what drivers to use, tried the default and the first option from Nvidia and had about the same results.
If you are still interest (100% understand if not) Bazzite and Pop_OS both have nvidia specific distros with the drivers baked in. Makes things a lot easier. Pop is Ubuntu and Bazzite in Debian. Pop has been my daily driver for 2 months and have not missed windows.
So Pop is just like a customized Ubuntu with things preconfigured for gaming?
Yes indeed! There are some custom tweaks specifically for nvidia on the specific distros. Supposedly it does with well switching from integrated graphics to discrete graphics, but I have not tried it. That is mostly for laptops.
Essentially. It is often held up as a good “gaming” distribution because it has AMD and Nvidia graphics card drivers built in, I suspect there is more to it than that but I’ve never used it personally.
