I’ve been putting off switching over to Linux full time for a while. The Linus video finally helped me go for it. It was almost perfect.
Unfortunately, Discord caused stuttering every half a second. Monitors with different refresh rates didn’t play well together. I could not watch Twitch while playing games.
All of these things are small but they ruined the experience for me, and I went back. It’s a shame though, I really wanted to keep Linux.
I kept the partition, though. So if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

I don't use discord or multiple monitors, and I've never had any trouble watching twitch. Hope you'll find the help you need.

What kind of stuttering? I never noticed it with Discord.

Only when I’m in a call, Wine games (like Overwatch) will stutter large amounts every half a second. When I play solo, though, it runs very smooth. I guess I gave up early; I’ll try again a bit later.

Maybe try Discord in a browser rather than the app?
I didn’t think to try that, but then I’d lose global hotkeys. Not a deal breaker though. I’ll give it a shot.
