I've been trying to set up a dual boot with Linux Mint and Windows. I used Rufus to install the Mint image with FAT32 file system and GPT partitioning, and I've shrunk 128GB from my Windows drive. However, when I try to play games on Mint, I get the FPS I want, but it feels choppy with noticeable latency. Does anyone have suggestions on how to improve the performance?

Just a reminder, always share your distro and some hardware details when asking for help! Also, what game are you trying to play? Your system specs can really affect performance. Choppy gameplay might result from insufficient resources or compatibility issues.
128GB might not be enough if your partitions are getting full. It's also worth noting that Mint isn't always the best for gaming compared to other distros. You might have a smoother experience with something like Fedora or CachyOS.
Switching up the Proton version could make a difference for gaming performance. It's worth experimenting with that option to see if it helps smooth things out.
Linux Mint can lag behind in terms of up-to-date drivers and kernel versions. If you're using older Nvidia drivers or the 6.12 kernel, consider switching to a more cutting-edge distro like Manjaro. They offer the 6.17 kernel and more recent Nvidia drivers, which might boost your gaming experience.
