On linux mint I can get games to run but they run horribly. I wish I could figure out the issue because running most of my games on linux would be awesome
I second this. Your experience is highly unusual, most of my games run very well on Linux (framerates within 10% of Windows). And that's with an Nvidia GPU.
Try running them locally off your Linux filesystem instead.
Otherwise I would suggest installing Claude code and running it from the terminal and telling it to investigate for you…
