From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No idea about AMD but I have nvidia 3070 and works just fine. I use gnome for gaming and kde works well too. No settings changed, simple archinstall script with nvidia proprietary drivers and steam.
I'm not sure why but xfce multi screen gaming is problematic, haven't dived into it.
Not saying don't get AMD but nvidia has horrible reputation which is kinda unfair nowadays. Their driver has improved a lot.
That's because you are on XFCE and they haven't adopted Wayland yet, NVidia drivers sadly really struggle with that but it's slowly getting better!
I'm sorry for late reply didn't get the notification. Does Xorg struggle with multi monitor gaming? I use awesomewm on top of xfce and don't want to abandon it. If that's the case it sucks. Any ideas?
