this had me in tears lmao
 
not really sure if this is the right board, although definetly the right forum, if its not ok here i'm sorry mods, feel free to move/delete.

What sadly didn't make it into the video, but is a cool addition nevertheless, is Core Control (CoreCtrl), a new app to tweak and optimize hardware on Linux. It lets you overclock your CPU or GPU (if supported by device), monitor thermals and frequencies, set power profiles or even per-game profiles, and it displays a lot of info about your system. Not as much as hwinfo, but enough for most people.

as I am using linux to watch this video 

You can use your computer totally normally and have full control over it without ever touching the terminal.
I know, copy-pasting from a stack overflow post that took me three seconds to find by Googling my problem and clicking the top search result is so hard! Much easier on Windows when I have to go through dozens of forums and stuff to find what a random BSOD code means that is caused by some obscure driver or whatever the fuck.
If any dependencies are required, they will get automatically installed with the program. Package managers like pamac make it super easy and intuitive. Wanna install Steam?
pamac install steam Enter your password, you're good to go. It's not that hard. You just have to try it out.

It's great to see some Linux related content, would love to see more of it! 
For me, my distro of choice is OpenSUSE, I think it is forgotten to often. But it really just works, and with YaST, a lot of administrator tasks are actually easier than on Ubuntu for example. I can definitely recommend that. 
Ah, and for video editing: I love Kdenlive. I'm not a professional and don't have nearly as high expectations at an editing software, but for me, it does the job quite well, like most KDE Software.

You can try lubuntu or xubuntu, its ubuntu with a desktop enviroment that needs less resources.

Proton only works for Steam games, but you can use Lutris or Wine or whatever for those other games.

I've been using Manjaro for a while and I'm loving it. But I can't get Steam to recognize DS4 controller. When plugged in, it doesn't beep, doesn't get recognized in Big Picture mode, or any of the games, and LED only displays orange, as if it's just charging, link to steam settings here. I've tried ds4drv and game-devices-udev packages from AUR. Also, I've tried using this link, this post and this post on steam community. Needless to say, I'm a bit depressed right now, since I've been reading all over Internet that Linux picks up DS4 controllers right away (as video said also).
Note: Since I don't have Bluetooth in my machine, I've only tried via USB, and I'm using cable that I got in box with controller. Same cable and same controller works just fine in Windows (still dual-booting, kinda want to get rid of that).
BTW: Loved video

Could you provide a bit more details? Have you looked at online forums or even the PopOS website for troubleshooting steps?

Just as a correction. You took a shot of this article (hello, that's me :P) and mentioned NVIDIA Ray Tracing "isn't enabled yet", it is and has been for some time now. The article in question is talking about an upcoming vendor-neutral set of extensions that aren't just NVIDIA (so AMD/Intel can do it then too).
 
Quake II RTX even launched to show this, with same-day Linux support.
