Linux on Steam is still early beta IMHO, no matter what they say.
For example, Dota 2 (a Valve game native on Linux) has became barely unplayable for me because of low fps (30-40) while it was flawless (~120) just a couple of years ago. My GC is a Nvidia 2070.
Another example: I can't play Wine/Proton games because they become dark / unresponsive just after I launch them.

Don't install any packages or drivers manually, and only use recommended default versions (ie- no specialty repos). I can attribute 90% of the issues I've ever had on Linux to unnecessary feature-chasing. The other 10% are distro bugs that got missed because I installed from RC and upgraded to release. If you want to test which, just redownload the latest version of your distro, live boot, and try playing a game with vanilla packages. If it works, it's not the distro.
