Is Linux ready to embrace competitive gaming?

What I was able to achieve in this guide:
- Disable V-Sync system wide (Nvidia drivers)
- Run Apex Legends without any stutters (update DXVK cache file)
- Increase my 1% low FPS (versus windows, same hardware)
- Reduce input lag to competitive setting
- Enable mouse RAW input in game
- Disable mouse acceleration
