It’s okay but the small text is a pain.
Honestly anything mouse driven I prefer to just play on PC.

The CPU is quite weak for strategy games (depending on what you play - Victoria 3 was unplayable for example).
Netflix limits you to 480p on Linux desktop IIRC (although there are some workarounds). Personally I refuse to pay Netflix’s extortionate prices due to this.
All the others are fine but you’ll need to disable the read-only mode if you want to install stuff to the system (and re-install it after every update) - e.g. anything installed via pacman/paru. That said, maybe Python is okay since you can use pip install --user
to avoid the read-only issue.
But for most apps you can probably use Flatpaks anyway (install from the KDE Discover store).
One annoying thing is that the root partition is really small (compared to the home partition), so you really can’t install much directly to the system via pacman. That was my main issue when using it as a desktop for a little while.
Is Rise of the Tomb Raider good? I wasn’t sure which ones to get after the first reboot.
FWIW my favourite games so far have been Sniper Elite 5, Hitman 3 (although those hammer the battery), CrossCode, Baba Is You, Into The Breach, Tetris Effect Connected.
And I’m yet to try Dragon’s Dogma and Hades.
I find I really struggle playing shooters without a mouse now though. Like Max Payne 3 and Half-Life were both too awkward / difficult really.
