Try using mangohud to cap it, I set it at 35fps cap running on high/med settings with something like MANGOHUD=1 MAHGOHUD_OPTIONS=fps_limit=35,nodisplay=0
Make sure to disable the steam frame limiter and allow tearing (helps with input).
Yeah, it's been quite a bit of guess work. Gtk/Kvantum themes are both Nordic-dark, then with the right gtk settings everywhere and compiling a few bits (cursors, Xsettingsd) and installing all the flatpak portals, with the right variables as well as all the Kvantum flatpak runtimes it works consistently across GTK/Qt/XWayland apps, including the cursor.
All my installed packages are also there under doc/apkovl. I installed my cursor/gtk themes to /usr/share as I compiled them but I'm sure they'd work in /home.
I've been stuck to it for years, used to it at this point!
Thanks yep it was a btt of a pain getting uniform theming up between GTK, Kvantum and Xsettingsd it seems to work nice :)
Does it get slightly hot? The 16:10 was really nice on the X201!
Had quite a few of the X and T series, X200, X201, X220, X230, T430 mainly, x230 would be my pick, you can quad-core mod it with the classic keyboard and use ivyra1n to flash the bios easily. I haven't bothered with the Full-HD mod because the 720p IPS is fine to me, you can get them from Taobao or similar (Check sources!)
They're all socketed CPUs, or you could get the chonky T530/W530 instead, or a P series. Old Thinkpads last a long time (although I have a bad habit of testing them :)
EDIT: MY T430 was also a fucking tank, it survived being thrown across a room in San Franciso with a tiny dent on the lid, no damage. They're easier to Full-HD mod than the X series.
Yep I was trying to remember, it's been a long time since I used it!

It's a nice and clean Linux distro, Alpine is great for being lean and you can get around any portential glibc problems with flatpak/chroots/virtualisation if you don't mind, also aports (the build system) it's pretty straightforward. the package repositories are decent and flatpak does the rest I find.
I've run it as a general purpose fix-it drive for a long time but it's good for servers or routers, or decent enough on a laptop/desktop, it's more of a hands-on approach than most other distros so I'll find myself on the Gentoo or Arch wikis a bit of the time.
It has it's quirks like any distro but it's very nice once you're used to how it works, it generally avoids complexity. I like it in that regard.
