Swiching to catchy from fedora workstation edition?

I love Linux and won’t ever be switching back, if that wasn’t obvious, but I really don’t want to be locked down to just one distro. I realized that Cachy usually runs higher 1% lows and higher FPS, or at least it’s at Fedora’s level, so it would be an upgrade. I already run it on my laptop, so I understand it pretty well. But the question is: is it really worth it? I don’t know the actual FPS differences directly, and I can’t seem to find a single thread or video on it that helped me decide. I don’t use this PC for anything but games and entertainment.

Here are my specs: 9070 XT, 48 GB DDR5, 7800X3D, 2 TB NVMe, AIO cooling, and whatnot. Overall, I can run any game at max graphics over 100 FPS, ignoring RT and PT.

Need help for a friend (picking distro for laptop)

Laptop, btw, i7 1335u, 16 GB DDR4, 513 GB of storage. What distro would be best for him? I have a few ideas, but I would like some help. He plays games, but his laptop is weak, and for some reason he is using a 1440p monitor so that doesn't help for performance. Any distro is an upgrade from Windows 11, which he uses. i am thinking CatyOS or Fedora, likely. He also, for some reason, thinks that Wallpaper Engine on Steam is a make-or-break, so is it compatible with Linux?

alternatives to amd adrenaline

i swiched to fedora two months ago and thats because ive been getting into gpus-cpus-memory-really anything computer related along with framegen-fsr-dlss-taa-dsr, so now i realise, im missing out a bit on not having amd adreniline, obviously most of it was just flashy words to make it seem like it boosted performance and graphics.

Still, there were a few settings that actually mattered, so I'm wondering about alternatives to Adrenaline specifically for Fedora Linux. I have a 9070XT if that matters and a 7800x3d, so I have AMD for both CPU and GPU.

How to try out other distros without deleting fedora.

I landed on fedora after research but i want to try other ones that came close to picking like pop os or desbian, how do i do that without unistalling everything and just assigning it to part of the usb drive, i only used one and used rufus to install fedora, currently a great swich from windows btw.

I decided I want to switch to Linux, but I want to test all the distros I've heard are good. I just want a simple setup, and it can do what I can do on mac os or Windows: play games, install stuff, watch videos. but ive seen that you have terminal stuff, and the setup is hard. I just don't want to deal with that. I've never had a Linux OS on any of my devices over the years.

also ive tried Distrosea, and it didn't load up, so I tried a few more times, and the same thing kept happening. I am not buying a USB to install Linux on it either. Also, I have a 7800x3d 9070xt and 48gb of ddr5 and 2TB

Is it so much to ask for something like this??? I want to do the same thing I do on Windows, but with a better os. I have really good hardware, but I still feel like the amount of bloat is slowing my computer. I looked into Bazzite, but I'm not familiar with how it works. For context, I am using 48 GB of DDR5, a 9070 XT, and a 7800x3d. I am not a developer and just want a better OS, though I have been seeing that the Steam OS has Windows trying to fix Windows 11 because they are worried the Steam OS might become the next big thing
