I made the move to Linux about a month ago, and it's been super smooth (and yes I have an NVIDIA 3080). I went with CachyOS though. The ONLY thing keeping me dual-booting windows though is Cubase (DAW), which is unfortunate but whatever. I don't really play any games that use EAC / kernel-level anti-cheat so it doesn't affect me, but is a bummer.

    Have you looked into using Wine or Proton to install Cubase on CachyOS? I see the wine page for it has a few garbage rating for the app, but I imagine that some of the work being done to get the steam games working might carry over to other desktop apps that didn't work well on Wine in the past.

    I've attempted to install Cubase using Bottles with no luck. I think the difficulty revolves around audio drivers and such.

    Yeah, Linux audio is great when it does work, but a real pain when it doesn't. Looks like there is some work being done to bridge the DAW gap like https://github.com/microfortnight/yabridge-bottles-wineloader, but I image getting it working will be a bit of a rabbit hole.
