Hopefully, you're able to sort the problem out. I'd just like to reiterate what another user mentioned - SteamOS is really not meant for a desktop computer. It is made specifically for Steam hardware (steamdeck and steam machine) and other handhelds. They don't support it being used on a computer. They literally tell you this themselves too -

"Users should not consider SteamOS as a replacement for their desktop operating system."
I saw another user give a great list of gaming-focused distros from Distrowatch and would highly recommend any one of them (Perhaps not Pop OS simply because their desktop Cosmic isn't quite ready yet for gaming, might be few releases off though hopefully). Personally I would recommend either Nobara or Cachy OS, have used both and both were brilliant.
I've been using PopOS with Cosmic for like 6 months now and haven't had any more issues than I normally have. If anything I've noticed more stable FPS across the board
i've been following this thread for a while to see how many issues it still has and to be fair there still are quite a few issues when going to much more recently in the thread -

Pop OS! was my first distro that worked (had a weird hardware issue that i couldn't figure out when on Garuda and Bazzite before) and I have such a soft spot for it. i abs love the look of Cosmic and would love to try it in future but think i'll wait a bit.
thank you. i just did i think. i dont think its a permanent solution but i tried vpn and its perfectly smooth gameplay. so now im looking how to make it permanent
It can be frustrating at times when you spend a long time finding a solution but also it is kind of awesome with how much you learn by the end of it. well that's how I've found my Linux journey in the last year.
