I've tried a few different Linux distributions—Mint, Bazzite, and Endeavour—but each time I've encountered the same frustrating issue: my mouse feels floaty and isn't responding accurately. After some digging, I think it's related to my RTX 4080 graphics card. I've switched from Wayland to X11, disabled the compositor, and experimented with a ton of terminal commands to adjust mouse acceleration. I've even tested various versions of the NVIDIA drivers, but nothing seems to fix the problem. I really need my mouse to be precise for gaming because this floatiness is a game-breaker. Does anyone have a solution?

Did you set up raw mouse input? I can't recall the exact steps, but I had great success getting that sorted out when I set my rig up. Perhaps check into that as well!
Have you considered whether it's the mouse itself? Sometimes switching to a different mouse can make a huge difference. Just something to think about!
Sounds like you're dealing with mouse acceleration issues. You can disable that on all the distros you mentioned using the xinput command. Just a little tweak might do the trick.
Yeah, definitely check out xinput. It usually clears up those floaty problems.
