I just tried to make the switch and sadly went back also. I tried Nobara, PopOS and Mint and while I had little to no issues with gaming, other issues caused me to return. I have Lian Li V2 fans and they won’t work without their Windows or Mac software. If the PC is shut down, they spin at their lowest speed and disappear in my BIOS. Lian Li is more to blame here but I don’t want to replace 3 fans that work fine. I had tons of really weird sleep issues on all 3 distros too. Usually after a fresh reboot, it would sleep as expected but after that, it either wouldn’t sleep at all or immediately wake up. I use WOL to turn the PC on when I want to game in the basement so while a minor gripe, this coupled with my fan issues was so frustrating. I also resisted Linux for a while due to no or little HDR support, but missed it less than I thought I would and I know it’s coming very soon. Loved how lightweight the OS was and miss the simplicity. I shall try again someday…

Former Mikrotik CRS-310-8G+2S+IN owner here. This switch works as advertised and always provided very reliable speeds but I found the learning curve for the Mikrotik interface pretty steep. I have no formal training when it comes to networking but learned a lot watching The Network Berg channel on YouTube. I think the Mikrotik line will serve you well if you want to take the time to learn how to maximize the performance. I bought mine on eBay and BH Photo Video has some models as well. Good luck in your search
