Setting Up Linux for Competitive Gaming (Its Mostly Simple!)

I just wanted the fastest/easiest setup that ensures getting something like Counter-Strike Global Offensive setup with mouse acceleration off and DPI settings correct.

I went with Pop OS! as my distro because it has either AMD or NVIDIA drivers bundled with the ISO image used for installation. Then use something like Rufus to create a bootable USB drive.

Once your Linux distro is installed and assuming you're using Gnome-Shell (the default window manager for Pop OS, Ubuntu and Fedora), you want to install gnome tweak tool and under mouse, change the profile to flat to disable acceleration.

To get DPI settings to match your previous settings, I used razercfg to configure the mouse settings.

Then just install Steam and Lutris from the Pop Store and you're good to go!

EDIT: You can install Discord and other commercial applications from the SnapStore.
