Lol I switched to cachyos also about 4 months ago and I completely agree with you.
My only game that doesn't work is Battlefield 6 and it's just because their anticheat doesn't authenticate linux environment. They could but explicitly said that would permit linux cheaters to ruin the game. Well too bad, I lost one game and gain a lot of freedom and "sovereignty" over my operating system. I also have a dusty windows partition that I dread having to boot after 4 months. I'd rather not imagine the state of that W10 outdated partition :/
I also think I game better on cachyos mostly because I have more free RAM and less background stuff running I don't need while I'm playing.
The only thing I don't really agree with you is HDR. I kind of gave up for now on tweaking games to support it. On some games I never could make it work even with a lot of tweaking (gamescope etc). On some other games I made the effort but just couldn't see the difference so it seemed not worth it. On Windows I had nothing at all to do to get 100% functional HDR on all games.
Still very very happy to be gaming on linux and the fact that I play even more on linux than I did on Windows shows how practical it is.
Maybe it got better much? Not even tweaking a lot. Just protonge34 and it works, not even using gamescope. Only thing not working (yet) with HDR is mangohud. But that's ok.
Give it another shot?
Maybe it's because we don't use the same variant of Proton ?
My default is proton-cachyos and I usually use GE when I have issues.
Honestly I'm not really willing to use GE as a default. Proton-cachyos is, if I understand correctly, a proton version optimized specifically for my OS and is pretty much based on similar proton-experimental upstream.
For now HDR support is not really worth switching things up for me. Even on Windows honestly I didn't see a difference on my pretty high end OLED ultrawide monitor.
I will try again later but for now if it doesn't work fine with my DE or my proton version of choice I don't think it's really worth the complexification.
