In this video I test out linux gaming using Arch Linux, DWM and Lutris to play Cyberpunk 2077, I was able to get it running, but couldn't figure out how to enable NVAPI / RTX. Unfortunately that means no DXR ray tracing or DLSS. Next up I'm going to tackle basic productivity in Linux.

For my desktop environment I'm using the dynamic window manager (DWM) from https://suckless.org/ with st (suckless terminal), and dmenu which is often used with various tiling window managers. I'm using the Arch Linux distro and will also install Gentoo out of interest at some point.

Arch Linux is an extremely customization lightweight Linux distribution which follows a KISS (keep it simple stupid) philosophy. Combined with a tiling window manager, it makes an excellent enthusiast linux setup. I personally like the pragmatic ideology of Arch where they allow proprietary software in the repos if it is likely to be useful.

Personally I've tried several arch linux desktop environments and couldn't decide on a best one (they were all quite mediocre) so this time I'm using a customized window manager. I've used BSPWM before, but have overall found the experience with DWM more satisfying.
