Thanks!
I have thought of giving a try to Bazzite but wasn’t sure I wouldn’t face the same problems with my GPU.
You have the same MacBook as mine, with a discrete GPU, and you get the same snappiness as on MacOS?

Not quite the same actually; mine’s the mid-2012 MBP with a more generic Intel GPU. Yours is slightly better, but that Nvidia hardware is sometimes harder to drive properly on Linux. Bazzite should make that a breeze for you tho.

Bazzite will not help, ur bottleneck is old nvidia which not supported anymore by nvidia, so if u u stuck to Linux kernel 6.8 and nvidia-driver-470, u also need MBP without cooler not working properly u will overheat all time github.com/linux-on-mac/mbpfan
