I've had issues on stock x11 PopOS using nvidia. Decent fps, but bigger drops and frametime consistency seemed horrible. I have to turn off my (mismatched) 2nd monitor for my proper refresh rate to work, but it still looked very microstuttery. I miss VRR, but I think there's a bigger underlying issue than vsync/VRR not working. Haven't tried Wayland yet.

Fwiw, I've had no issues playing CS2 on either with my old (3700x/1080ti) or newer setup (5800X3D/7900XTX) with PopOS. The first doesn't seem too far away from your rig, have you tried switching the Nvidia driver you're on? I think Turing is fine with 560?
Good point,it hadn't crossed my mind yet. I'm assuming it's using the proprietary nvidia drivers. I'll give that a go.
The game is set to run full screen ( as windowed fullscreen caps the framerate to 60, while the screen supports 144 ).
In case your game also doesn't launch on the main screen you can try setting the monitor to a different position on the virtual canvas:

I'm only using one screen at the moment, but thanks for the input! Maybe it helps someone else, or me if i decide to hook up the other screen again :)
I remember the frame time issue happening but it fixed itself and I can't remember the cause. Try changing the refresh rate of your monitor, it might kick something which fixes it.
Performance should definitely be mostly on par with Windows.
Did you install Steam via flatpak or normally?
I'll check tomorrow. It came preinstalled with nobara. I'm assuming its native, but can't confirm right now
