Starting a quest to discover why the poor performance on linux
Right, it's me once again, i know that this discord is just an voluntary channel to share wisdom, knowledge and make friends, and i appreciate this noble reasons. I really want to make linux my daily Drive of everything but the poor performance and high temperatures are just freaking me out, i love linux but linus doesnt love me.
So right now i will make an real quest on this help channel (i cannot pay anything unfortunately but i will be really happy if anyone could help me and maybe help other with the same problem as me), to discover what is wrong, if i can do something about it or at least discover the reason behind the poor performance.
I really liked bazzite OS, is the first linux that i don't have breaked (yet), and i don't want to distro hopping, the only thing that bothers me is that bazzite uses system76 scheduler (and i think this is scheduler is one of the culprits of the problem) but everyone keep telling that he is good as feral gamemode so i will trust this information.
To start i will type here my PC configs and one of the attachments will be an DxDiag .txt from windows (i dunno if linux has something like this)
PC specs:
Ryzen 5 3600
RX 6600 8GB
16GB RAM (2x8GB in dual channel)
2 SSD's (one for windows and the other for linux)
-SSD WD SATA 480GB
-SSD NVME ADATA 510GB
XPG powersupply 650W
Stock AMD cooler
5 support coolers (3 for exhaustion and 2 for pushing the air inside)
AOC rokuTV as an monitor ( i use 1920x1080 as resolution but the dxdiag tells that the native resolution is 1360x768)
Razer Basilisk V3 as mouse
Redragon generical mechanical keyboard
So, these are the specs. Now to the problem, The FPS is really lame compared to windows (i know i know, its not the same thing, but seeing videos of the same game on linux on youtube with similar PC settings if not the same settings, the game runned better on the video compared to my desktop, so is right to presume that something is wrong), the FPS is inconsistent with FPS spikes and low performance in general, like, i am on X area on windows running in constant 60FPS but in the same area on linux the fps is an inconsistent 57FPS dropping to 40's, and on windows the same area my CPU is on 54-61c° and on linux is 65-81c° dying to make more frames.
Detail: On BIOS i haved to change some things to linux at least arrive to 50 fps on games but in counterpart the temperature is pretty high ( i will send photos of my bios settings to) and 4g encoding/ReBAR doesn't make any kind of difference. (And i also know that linux deals with energy in a different form, but its pretty damn high for the standards that im used to and i dont have money to spend on monthly thermal paste or an new CPU cooler or even an new CPU)
I've tried to run everything on wayland and X11 but is the same results, i am running BazziteOS (GNOME) downloaded direct from the official page and using VENTOY to install it.
I will record the videos on linux now just to make an fair comparative and take photos of my BIOS settings.
If any good soul help me i will be really happy, i am not good on linux (newbie/noob level hard to be honest).

Solution
i will close this, but thanks anyway, i think the problem was with the kernel and i was seeing, maybe the problem was the system76 scheduler
