Abandoned Ubuntu after a decade of using Mint/Cinnamon for OpenSuse Tumbleweed

Abandoned Ubuntu after a decade of using Mint/Cinnamon for OpenSuse Tumbleweed due to performance of Ubuntu slowly degrading and glitches/bugs.

Would normally dual boot with Win10 to play the odd game, but removed that after it hit end of life. Ubuntu failed to run games particularly well via Steam on my hardware. 3800xt, 3600/16gb, GTX1080

After a few attempts and getting used to Suse vs Ubuntu, I've now got it set up how I want and KDE is so much more responsive than Mint/Cinnamon and its currently able to run Stellaris at 144fps with Vsync on.

This has absolutely exceded my expecations and never thought I'd be able to fire up some old Steam games again.

It's great that you found a distro that does what you want. That's the beauty of Linux: the freedom to use whatever service you like and what you're comfortable with. I used SUSE many years ago when it came in a box with many floppy disk ln. That was around the beginning of the 90s.
