Maybe try it in CachyOS and see how that goes, though it looks like Bazzite and Fedora-based shenanigans perform fine. However, after checking ProtonDB, it looks to be a Proton issue, and since seeing that you're utilizing similar specs to mine (I have an R9 5900X), I wonder if it's a DRM issue for RE7.
That's a fair assessment, I'd say. I didn't catch the 8ms polling nonsense. I wouldn't recommend the Basilisk V2 either, despite a 1kHz poll rate, as the scroll wheel becomes garbage after a couple years of use.
I'd ditch AMD and go Intel (Intel is in a hole right now, though), with a motherboard that supports Coreboot. I'd recommend an MSI Z690-A for that, and maybe add an Intel Core i7-12700KF. Heck, maybe you could do a customized System76 build, unless you intend on using Windows. Otherwise, everything seems mighty fine and dandy, with exception to the GPU, as that might not perform well, since Gigabyte doesn't really do a good job with their GPU's sometimes.
I don't think the Razer Basilisk V2 is light, but it is very good for my needs when using Linux... despite the scroll wheel turning to trash. It's 20k DPI, as I happened to do competitive gaming.
This video might be what you're looking for, especially since my producer knew that dopamine wasn't the issue: it was serotonin toxicity potentially (or just a bad lifestyle):

That's this whole gaming disorder nonsense I called out as fake, which it is in my opinion. It's a Vitamin B1 deficiency for mental health conditions (mostly caused by refined sugars), but schizophrenia is a Vitamin B3 deficiency due to eating too much wheat (due to it being converted to sugar), which depletes Niacin levels.
Oh, and to prevent video game addiction in teens, just don't let them play video games until they're out of high school. Problem solved.
From my producer's research, he thinks it's a good idea to seek dopamine by being outside and getting exercise. Otherwise, it might be a serotonin toxicity from being inside a lot (cabin fever I think), and that can be fixed by doing what I described to get your dopamine levels up.
Kids shouldn't be playing video games anyway, until school is out of the way for them. Board games are much better for developing minds that video games.
That's just a Vitamin B1 deficiency, not a dopamine toxicity, from my producer's research on the matter. Another note on that is simply that gaming disorder is a fake condition, and that it covers up nutrient deficiencies. That's how Neigsendoig (my producer) and I see it.
They already have comments disabled. Something tells me this will be AI slop, and that the game will be stupidly rushed. For it being an F2P game as well, the macrotransactions are going to be stupid, and knowing how Quad A works from a casual perspective, I likely suspect that it will become P2W.
Edit: I stand corrected. Since I use Invidious, the comments don't seem to be working right now.
I think Neigsendoig (my producer) has an idea. You could play something like Super Tux Kart or another open-source game (mind you, that one I mentioned is FREE and Open-source) of the like.
Neigsendoig and I are not really surprised by this. We had an inkling this was part of Project 2025. In particular, they just wanted Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act removed, though they were already censoring using foreign censorship partners even before P2025.
I think what gives GUN the feeling is that it takes place in the wild west (which is dying), and that the mechanics regarding guns, characters, and encounters are something to behold once you get into them. It's a non-D&D system that primarily uses d10's if I'm not mistaken (I hadn't played it, but only seen gameplay of it).
I know a good one I found was Operation Harsh Doorstop, which is a fantastic AA game made by Drakeling Labs (owned by Connor "Bluedrake42" Hill). I hadn't played it in a while though. An open-source option is Unvanquished, which is not a movement shooter, but I think is based upon Quake 3 with the Daemon engine. That's what I found, though.
With Linux, that's impossible. However, I will say that you won't need to worry about these privacy invading rootkits disguising themselves as anti-cheats (Ricochet, EA's Ring 0 malware, EAC, Battleye, etc.).
For those not using Prime (because forget Amazon), it's 80% off on Gog, and is worth $7.18 USD when combined with Civ III Complete.
