Oh, and for anyone wondering why I chose a gaming-focused distro for a computer that is not a gaming computer: because it's Arch for normies.
Mostly, I want a PC that can run Plasma 6.7, because it can switch virtual desktops indepently of each other, the way macOS does. Kubuntu and Debian, my other distros of choice, are far more conservative with regards to newer packages. CachyOS being essentially a pre-configured Arch means it gets the freshest, newest, most broken packages. Besides, I have CachyOS on my gaming PC, and I like it. It does all the driver setup for me so all I have to is download the software I want and set things up.
There might be a better distro for my needs, but CachyOS does for me.

It occurs to me; I don't know whether Steam was actually using the AMD GPU, which is why the gaming performance was poor, or whether it's just that the GPU isn't really up for that particular task. I shall investigate tomorrow.
