Can’t go wrong with fedora, just change from Wayland to xorg with the cogwheel at login.

DDR, use to talk mad shit about that game. Can’t remember what happened but I think my uncle bought it for me and then it just clicked. Ended up hanging at the arcade for hours all sweaty getting food court food.

Just plain ol Fedora. Lots of recommends for Nobara but I doubt the performance increase from the tweaks will make much of a difference with modern hardware. I went down the “gaming distro” path years ago and it’s just not worth it imo. You do you though because whatever distro you’ll still be in go ol’ Linux.

Have you rebooted your system or tried selecting a previous kernel version upon boot to see if the problem remains?

Nah, I recommend sekiro asap.
